Profiles In Service

I got thoroughly frustrated, but failed miserably to communicate my distress and irritation clearly in a conversation with one of my friends. This is what I meant to say.

 Our society has upheld a dubious culture of holding the representatives of the people up “very important persons” – VIPs. This culture goes hand-in-hand with making extraordinary and often preposterous accommodations for politicians in general, and elected officials in particular. Chris Nyanga’s letter (not dated) that was issued a few days ago on behalf of Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Health and Wellness provides a clear illustration and depravity of this phenomena.
