I am too long in this country
For the tenth of a second, I thought the newspaper article, which is copied below, would make sense... But then my brain rebooted and let me know that there must be something wrong with it. There must be some links to Toyota.
Please mind the thoughtful order of the statements and the reasoning.
I'll miss it. In only a few weeks, I will sit in my kitchen and read the (paper version of the) F.A.Z. while I will have toast, strawberry marmelade, muesli and cacao for breakfast... Here it is mandasi, or samosa, or ferry cake and tea and the online versions of all local and some German newspapers - it is just styleless.
"Ministers to use Land Cruisers
THE Prime Minister, Prof. Apolo Nsibambi, has said it has been recommended that ministers use Land Cruisers instead of Pajeros, as their official vehicles, reports Joyce Namutebi. He was responding to concerns raised by MPs during discussions with the parliamentary committee on presidential and foreign affairs. The committee had called the Premier to review allocations to his office and priorities for the next budget. Aggrey Awori (Samia Bugwe North) said the Government was too large and a lot of money was being spent on maintaining people. He questioned the rationale of having so many expensive vehicles instead of having vehicles of smaller engine capacity. He asked Nsibambi to explain why government vehicles transport matooke, saying they should be parked at the ministry at 6:00pm. “The new recommendation is a Land Cruiser. It’s more durable and our roads are in a bad state,” he said, adding that ministers were required to travel all over the country and should have vehicles that can traverse the difficult roads. He said attendance of performance of ministers in Parliament was poor. Nsibambi said it was the policy of the Government that ministers use Prados but “we have discovered that even those cars are unstable.” “The new recommendation is a Land Cruiser. It’s more durable and our roads are in a bad state,” he said."
