        This isn't fair, it has been proven countless times that polygraph tests are not conclusive. You can use it to purge your enemies in government positions claiming that they are corrupt

        And I doubt it would be across board so it's simply gonna be used as a tool to target individuals

        True, they can easily manipulate the results. Without actual evidence the polygraph test is useless

        Who will manufacture these machines 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐? Secondly, are the machines going to test conscience and future plots to embezzle funds? If not, can that money be used to complete implementing the new school program, get some bloody books and decent classes for our children!😡

        He should take the test first because he is the problem. Leadership begins from the top.

        Nothing is real with this jubilee regime! The introduction of polygraph test is another political shinanigan and impending loot scheme!

        Just you wait till we have to grapple with the murkiest possible scandal involving the procurement of this equipment. And not to hold your breath on the integrity of the polygraph to be purchased either; they'll propose it be sourced from a certain province of China!!
