Letter From The President (IV)

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents;
How are you coping with the HIPC climate?
I hope you are not starving yourselves because of HIPC. Our Fante elders say that “Kafo mpo dzidzi”, meaning “highly indebted poor citizens have a right to eat”, so go ahead and eat all you can. I will encourage you to eat, at least, one meal everyday – it need not necessarily be a square one (banku is usually round but it’s good for you).
