"Everyone who lost is complaining that they don'thave money to compare to the money spent on our elections. If we don't change the tide, what will happen in our next two elections? But is it three votes? This means you cannot come to parliament if you are not paid.That is why I am asking the political parties to change the constitution," he said in an interview with Okay FM.
