Why recycling old men? Someone that had served as a Minister in 1984-1985? Is there no capable young or youthful hand that can do the job? Whats actually wrong with our countrymen?
Some jobs require expertise and experience. There are definitely jobs that can’t be for youths. I can’t fault the president on this one.
