It is not the doctors and the lawyers and the businessmen that are accessing their programmes, it is the (single) mother who has four kids…”In light of the fact that “children are the future of our country” Ramson yesterday dared the ruling A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance for Change coalition to “put your money where your mouth is.”At the time of picketing, Ramson displayed a placard which stated “extravagant living for the big ones – cruel denial of $10,000 for the children.”In offering an explanation for the slogan, Ramson stressed that “we don’t want a Government that just says we are going to take care of what we can when we can. We want a Government that takes care of the poor.”He noted too that while it is good to see people living well, “their (Government) lifestyle is extravagant when you compare it to the ones that are very poor…and those are the ones that actually need it (the cash grant)…”Government had qualified its decision to put a hold on the cash grant initiative in order to facilitate a review of its viability. This was in light of the Government’s claims that there were three critical flaws associated with it, including: a lack of monitoring and evaluation,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, the fact that it was economically unsustainable and that it pressured the existing human resource capacity.
