No doubt 'Mohammed al-Rubaie' sees things through rose tinted spectacles

and hasn't dared step foot into the areas where regular citizens live without consistent electricity and decent infrastructure.

Shame on him :angry:/>

I can't believe they are this critical. I mean really. It's not safe, and there are not enough services. The corruption is deep. We read it all the time. Who wins but the government. I think they really rate higher but I'm nuts and don't know anything.
