Fare thee well, Mr. President

But this time, there is a feeling of semi-detachment from the impending national occurrence.

I speak of an occurrence that normally evokes violent emotions of sadness within me. Give whatever score you will to Lt. Gen Khama’s government, one thing is clear; economically, it has been a dismal failure. And as far as I am concerned, a president who fails so dismally on the economic front deserves no gift on exit. Sometimes I wonder if my president is not getting so much because many are happy to see him go. Lt. Gen. Ian Khama has been a leisure, conservation and social welfare president. Period. We might as well have had another president for the economy.
