Arapaja’s explanation that he has kept the Computers meant for teaching the youth in his constituency for over two years because he is waiting for government to provide an internet facility deserves serious scrutiny. The question is simple: how long should beneficiaries wait for what was already entrusted to their community?

An allegation, however loudly repeated, does not become truth merely because it is convenient to those making…
