I think you forget that the taxes paid by people DOING stuff is where the priority lies. YBOK should be sold to Wagners for a cheap price and they expand it into a decent airport.

The Army base should be relocated somewhere else, where some employment and growth would be appreciated.

Solves two things at once!

And before you get started, I am 100% about looking after the ADF, in my opinion they are under resourced. I was and should have joined in 85, for some reason I did engineering instead. Fortunately engineering has done well for me and I now pay several times the average wage in taxes each year, and I am annoyed more of it does not go to the ADF. Ohh and Jnr Jaba is part the way there, so I am not about harming the ADF at gain of private industry.
