The type of leaders who will take our comments in good faith and not get blown away by some of our comments which border on "emotional" outbursts to say the least. This comes with an obligation on our part too, we need to learn how to express our frustration with certain ills in a manner befitting people who went to school but "did not leave education behind". ( i hope i am not being the first culprit myself here). All i am saying is that sweeping statements such as "dismiss, arrest" etc should be brought out in a manner that can actually avoid the direct use of such words, but carrying the same meaning. I see some looking at this as cowardice but i believe that " you can never put out fire with fire". Lets get the locals on board, the challenges of e-mail on ground notwithstanding.
