In all, there have been 292 Safos holders. Of these, 132 remain in active service.
My conservative calculation shows that each SAFOS costs the taxpayers $68 million - from the award of the scholarship to the day they die. Some SAFOS who have retired are getting pension of $1 million ...so, my estimate is possibly lower.
292 SAFOS = $19, 856, 000,000 ....that's a freaking $20 billion to support 292 elites.
Add in the Admin service scholars, those in the police force and the judicial service ....you can see that we are easily close to $100 billion in expenditure to support them.
$100 billion on scholars? Are we getting out money's worth?
