Thanks for that, you made me smile.
I heard a good chant the other day:
"What do we want? Incremental change made with the understanding that the Presidency is a co-equal branch of government and we have to work with the system that we have!"
"When do we want it? Pretty soon!"
I keed, I keed. I wish a million things had gone differently but am grateful for our President and ask Akua to protect him and the family every day.
