.....Long overdue. Had started wasting himself in local politics

Ive always known the Dr will go places. He is very intelligent thou his community voted him out. Well done Daktari.

A hard working child never lacks someone to wash him/her...

the guy is brilliant! I really like him.

I remember him (2003?) staging a walk out of 3rd world nations at a meeting of World Trade Organisation to protest against some bad policy which was being pushed thru. When the top seat at WTO fell vacant, majority of trade ministers were for him but he turned down the offer of support with an eye on local politics!!. I think he regretted later on.
He was one of the strategists in Madvd campaign; in the absence of which i doubt if Madvd could move any bricks.
