Letter From The President: Let?s talk about death

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,
Now that Omafo Sarfo has spoken I want you to stop talking about this CNT loan saga. There are so many equally controversial and interesting subjects to argue and whine about on radio and in the beer bars.

I know Omafo Sarfo did not really impress most of you and he even seems to have confused some people a little bit more with his utterances and revelations. I also know that people are also asking about why it took him so long to ?explain things?, by presenting facts that had already been made public by a journalist. All these are genuine concerns that are worth looking into. But I don?t have a lot of time on my hands right now. Just a few days after Omafo Sarfo?s press conference I had to travel to the US to attend the summit of the most powerful economic bloc on earth. So I didn?t have time to waste on your petty grievances over the CNT loan. As for the loan, it will come. In the meantime, I want you to give Omafo Sarfo the benefit of the doubt, wait and see what happens in the next few weeks. You might be a little bored whiles waiting but I think that the radio stations will come up with some other issues for you to argue and scream about on radio and in the drinking parlours.
