Super Ministers And Other Stories, By Reuben Abati by CynFerd: 12:00pm On Nov 13, 2015 |
Super Ministers and other stories, By Reuben Abati “Have you congratulated our new Ministers?” “I am still thinking about it, actually. I don’t know whether to congratulate them or to commiserate or to pity some of them. They have merged Ministries that need not be merged. Some Perm Secs are now floating. Six months and this is it?” “What kind of talk is that? You have come again oh”. “I wonder too. At least you can see that round pegs have been put in round holes, and shame on all you doubting Thomases, our government is good to go.” “”Who is talking politics? Can we discuss Nigeria and leave politics out of it? And please, leave that thing about pegs. Some pegs are neither round nor square, they are misshaped.” “Everything is political.” “I know. Very soon, you will also insist that that funny walking stick Ngige was carrying about, like the rod of Moses, is also political.” When you elevate a government to a semi-divine status, you lose sight of your responsibility to hold government accountable. The ascribed, contrived, or self-imposed divinity of elected officials is a threat to democracy” “Okay, what is your point?” “I have said it before and I repeat it again. I still think whenever Ministers are to be screened by the Senate, their portfolios should be attached. It helps to prepare the prospective Minister mentally. It deepens the screening process, and makes it even more participatory.” “There is no such Constitutional requirement” “Everything doesn’t have to be in the Constitution”. http://www.post-nigeria.com/super-ministers-and-other-stories-by-reuben-abati/ |
