Conundrum of the wretched

-

That school of thought is not correct though, it is the conundrum of the wretched EXECUTIVE PRESIDENCY that created this chaos in our country!!! JRJ the architect of the Executive Presidency is no more but even from the grave, HE AND HE ALONE is ANSWERABLE

FOR THE

MESS OUR COUNTRY IS IN TODAY!!! True, he was a benevolent dictator but what followed??? When Executive Power is exercised and it has been done ruthlessly in the past also, the people have no voice!!! Even if they do, they are not heard, not listened to; so why are we talking about the unheard VOICE OF THE PEOPLE??? Not one of the learned Ministers of the past and we did have many of them then too, opposed the Executive Presidency; WHY??? SELFISHNES­S!!! There were many Presidenti­al hopefuls even then, but none of them thought of what this EXECUTIVE SCOURGE would do to the country, only of what he or she would do with it, if and when he or she became President, country be damned!!!
