Minister of education of Madagascar, Regalia Andriamena was fired after he gave the order to buy candies and sweets, ostensibly to help get rid COVID-19. The Minister of this island the South African government, said that she ordered sweets in the amount of 2.2 million US dollars, AFP reports.
According to her, the decision to purchase candy for the students was taken to get rid of the “bitter taste” herbal tea, the so-called mixture Covid-Organics, which some dealers on the island called antidote to coronavirus. Despite the fact that many experts are convinced the official that the use of tea and sweets against coronavirus “useless”, the Minister not only gave an indication for the purchase of candy, but decided that is called “PR in the media.”
She told the press about the decision “to buy sweets on a stick” and that all students in Madagascar will receive three pieces of candy at his brother. It said that “the bitter drink” promoted the export of the President of Andri Rajoelina, saying that “this green gold will change the history of Madagascar.”
In the local press raised a fuss about the appropriateness of allocating such a huge budget for one of the world’s poorest countries of funds for the purchase of “lollipops”. The result of this dubious order for the procurement has been cancelled. The Minister was not satisfied and decided to continue to defend his plan, but it has not been considered by Cabinet. And the next day came out a presidential decree that the official relieved of duties of Minister of health of Madagascar.
