Over the years, our appointment with the absurd has been constant, even legendary. We have tried to rise above this, with a new Constitution that cost a lot and took many years of crafting. But as often said, what can go wrong will always go wrong.
Even though our country was blessed with a new Constitution, misfortune has always provided us with bad policies and curious decisions. When the drafters of our Constitution saw it prudent to exclude winners of political seats from ministerial appointments, they thought they were removing politics from technocracy. Almost 10 years later, it is clear that politics hasn’t left the ministries.
