The Minority Leader of Parliament, , has opened up about what appears to be the post-government struggles faced by many politicians, particularly legislators.
Addressing key personalities at the 5th Annual Constitution Day Public Lecture on February 28, 2025, the politician stated that many parliamentarians, as well as ministers of state who have the opportunity to serve, remain poor despite serving for years.
According to him, the reality of the poor financial state of many legislators is surprising, especially given the widespread public perception that politicians are wealthy and corrupt.
He went on to say that the perception of politicians, particularly Members of Parliament, as corrupt is inaccurate, pointing out that many of these individuals have little to boast about in terms of personal wealth or assets.
