At every opportunity, some leaders have been shouting ‘this is our man in 2022’. I find this like a kid playing with a bomb oblivious of the danger. Why? For starters, my reservation is not informed by the same reasons like – ‘this region never supported someone from outside’. Far from it. From where i sit, they are already setting up wsr for failure post 2022 with dangerous ramifications for the country 5 years on. Why?

What they forget is that WSR negotiated his way into current govt through a very painstaking process. And got a 50% stake- I actually think upwards of 60%. If the narrative is ‘this is our man in 2022’ then they run the risk of pampering ‘the man’ and by 2022, given the nature of human beings, it will have gotten into his head ‘The man’ will not remember that he needs to have a 50/50 coalition. Things will start to go south, and some people will start running around like headless chicken saying ‘we have been shortchanged. This will be a recipe for failure 5 years later.

Does this ring a bell. someone please allay my fears coz i thought what they need is 2 prepare a sound 15 yr strategic plan very carefully crafted like by a surgeon.

Maswala yapi kaka? We're beyond such cynic threads as 'mr x will not be pork in 2022'. We are looking at how we can save mr x from himself and assure survival of the state my friend

If you have nothing to say dont say it here. That's a tired thread. You speak like you're are a major stakeholder with mr wsr bandwagon. We're not opposed to wsr 100% like the title of the cynic thread. What we're saying is that he negotiated in 2013. They should be doing tough negotiations for 2017-2022-2032 rather than keep telling us 'so and so is our man'. If this doesn't happen things will go south at some point.

Yes... THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
