LEADERSHIP HARD OF HEARING

Sir,
 
Why is our leadership so hard of hearing? The more the leadership keeps expending energy on berating people for the manner in which they are expressing their grievance shows that we are far from being ready to engage.
Someone once said if as a parent you have to remind your child of your position and challenge the manner in which they are raising some issues, you must realise that you have lost your authority and that this can be, in great part, attributed to some act or omission on your part.

Solutions

This is exactly what we are seeing from government. As opposed to investing energy in finding lasting solutions to the socio-economic and political problem besetting us, all government is doing is issuing warnings and displaying a care-free approach to the situation. Our kingdom is in a crisis and our leadership seems not to give two shakes of a duck’s tail.

There have been countless opportunities at our disposal for us to speak sense to each other and create an environment where we can all embark on a constructive discourse and demonstrate to the world that dialogue in this part of the world really is sacrosanct.

As opposed to grabbing those opportunities, our leadership has found it fit to just trivialise these otherwise serious issues and the result has been the brewing of more anger among the populace. What we are seeing is a leadership that refuses to give an ear to the concerns of the governed. I ask our government; what legacy do you want to leave?
Surely you can do better than this. If we still have men and women of honour at Hospital Hill and in our entire leadership strata, let’s hear you speak up and defend the truth.

If you are incapacitated to do what you should be doing, resign and not be complicit to this hemorrhaging of the nation. We will remember that and generations to come will respect your decision.
