What do you do when confronting a senior functionary who is under-performing to the extent that you have to seriously question the wisdom of prolonging that officer’s employment?

But do you know or do you believe that there is a most supine stance adopted by some decision makers by introducing an intolerably specious argument that there is no one else to replace the malfunctioning officer?

Mabel is aghast that quite frequently fraudulent transactions are encouraged or at least condoned within the confines of certain police station. This is to do with minor alleged traffic offences in which the victim is invited to proceed to the identified police station, after retaining the driver’s licence by the perpetrating traffic cop. Within the station, the fraudulent transaction is concluded by the payment of several thousand dollars to the rogue cop by the harassed victim, so as to avoid court appearance and the necessary time associated with court matters. What a shameful indictment against the police! Says Mabel!

Who can conscientiously deny that the volume of work and concomitant travelling both home and abroad that is so evident by the activities of the president calls for a young and vibrant personality? No wonder then, that President Jagdeo is doing such a fine job. Prudence dictates, however, that there must be time set aside for lighter and less demanding schedules just to recuperate.
