Let us pray for our President

Let us continue to explore topical national issues that affect our nation without fear or favour. Free speech should be a tradition, engendered in all of us. It is the most potent weapon, in holding our leaders to account and in asserting our rights as against the State, and each other. True, it can get very irritating to those at the wrong end of the stick, but overall, it benefits them too. Through free speech, government is just forced to be accountable to the public. It is forced to be publicly accountable.
