Very competent and principled man. One of the very few serving in this PF regime
The problem with African leaders is they want to die on the seat (kapoto).
3rd term with nothing to show. It’s the first time I’m hearing of this organization. Leave some for new blood. A new broom sweeps cleaner.
I remember those Yuss cartoons in the Post with a corrupt character called AAPAM (short for Apamwamba) bald head and big pot belly ….hehehe
He is a protector of corruption, corrupt PS’s. He should be retired; occupied the office of Secretary to the Cabinet for too long. True professionals and seasoned civil servants like Patrick Lange’s would do a better job and bring sanity to the office.
In this country everyone working under this regime is unfit, wrong, unqualified, corrupt, thief, old, dull, lazy, and many more negative terms. So only upnd has the best answers for this country. Indeed, when the most intelligent was engaged to valuation assets on behalf us, he under valued for his own benefits. That is OK because he is coming from bantustan. The same God you claim to know sees and hears your ranting. He is the God we cry to not to allow your kind to handle the affairs of this country because you are not a kind. Leadership traits can be seen from our social interactions with the environment. Your pastoral existence speeks volumes on human rule. Your family set ups and co-existense lack leadership because of greediness. How can you carev for someone who is not part of you?…
Even some graduates look as if nakusukulu tayako. Even HH looks as if the he -goat has no money. Bwafya sana. Your hatred is your passport to nowhere politically. Hour bulUlifye Levy said it, it is buttocks all the way……..!
