Jane Mlambo| Outspoken Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has castigated government for failing the nation and stealing from its people saying the present situation in the country is synonymous with a bus without a driver.

Addressing villagers in his constituency, Mliswa accused government of promising to pay tobacco farmers with foreign currency for their produce before reneging on its commitment.
