Letter From The President: Transport Minister must go

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,

I am writing to the appointments committee of parliament to request that they reject the nomination of the bonking doctor as Transport.

He has annoyed me very much with his testimony before the committee. I will get to that shortly but I want to point out that I had a lot of confidence in this Dr. Anena guy. He is a nice fellow and when I first appointed him as Health Minister, I had a lot of confidence in him. He was supposed to spearhead an important national assignment which should have culminated in the introduction of the National Health Insurance Scheme among other measures which were meant to ensure better health for our people. But he failed. Initially, I didn?t know why he failed so miserably. But now I know.
