CROSSED RED LINE
“Why should we give you 20 police officers to loiter from press conference to press conference, from hotel to hotel, when they are needed elsewhere?” Matiang’i asked and added: “Why should you carry around a whole platoon of police officers to go and commit a crime; to evict constitutional office holders?” the minister said in reference to threats by Nasa to lead supporters in storming offices of the electoral commission and force out staff they claim bungled the presidential election.
I have never seen in a very long time command of authority like Matiang’i does. The man speaks directly and effectively. No more soothing of political egos. We have a country to keep and build.
