Comedians-In-Chief (CIC)

The budget proposal is out and there is no provision for oil subsidy. As it is now, there will be increase in price of petrol. The President sounding a note of warning to ‘troublemakers’, said even a revolution won’t make him go back on the fuel subsidy removal. So it’s the people’s wish against the presidents wish.

My concern lately is the presidency’s comments in the media. I find it disturbing when some comments come from the Presidency. The statement on cassava bread was laughable and outright irritating. I wonder if the speech was written or rather the president thought of it and just said it without weighing the implications.

‘Trekking to school barefooted’ was the pioneering statement. A lot other statements have followed and I wonder what the advisers of the president are paid for? Perhaps, they want to ridicule the presidency or is it that the president doesn’t take advice from them?

Past administrations created the impression that the presidency was corrupt and insensitive. The current leadership should have redeemed itself but it chose to add to the negative perception. The presidency displays arrogance, lack of direction and this is quite (un)impressive.

Word for them, we lost all hope in this administration. Just like the immediate past administration which had nothing to show, we expect not little but nothing from this administration. Keep up the comic works for the remainder of the administration.
