LAST WORD
Entrenching democracy
Governor Roba: This is all we have done so far and we ask you to judge us fairly. But like former
US President Barack Obama said...
Democracy is sometimes messy,
and for leaders, sometimes
it's frustrating. Democracy
means that somebody is
always complaining about
something. Nobody is ever
happy in a democracy about
their government. If you
make one person happy,
somebody else is unhappy. Then
sometimes somebody who you
made happy before, later on,
they’re not happy. They say,
what have you done for me
lately? But that's the nature of
democracy. That's why it works,
it is because it's constantly
challenging leaders to up their
game and to do better.
- Barack Obama
