00:35But at one point, they give us the money,
00:38but at another point, they want to take it.
00:41So we don't take it.
00:44We have to pay for it.
01:00So this is what this whole election is about.
01:10There's a significant number of voters who are trying to send a strong message
01:15to the established political parties
01:18that they are very disappointed the way this country has been governed since independence.
01:30The obvious coping mechanism that many families have turned to
01:53is to try to send one member of their family overseas.
01:57And as we have seen in 2022 and 2023 and the first half of 2024,
02:03there was a large number of people who went overseas for foreign employment.
02:09So many of these poverty-stricken families probably are supplementing their income
02:14through remittances sent by a member of their family who is working overseas.
