  1. Can someone please ask Mr Turner if what we have witnessed is the extent of work to be done on Parham back road. The road is now in a wussarar state than how it was before.

  2. Congratulations to Minister Turner. I am confident that Minister Turner and his team will get the job done and then some.

  3. WHAT THE HELL…? …LIST OF RESPONSIBILITIES…?

    Those familiar with ‘…Management Terms,’ shall know there is none called: ‘…LIST OF RESPONSIBILITIES.’

    WHY?

    It shall not be likened to:
    (a) ‘…A BOOK LIST: nor

    (b) …SHOPPING LIST.’

    ***

    FROM MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE:

    It is called: ‘…AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY.’

    ***
    BOYS’ TRAINING SCHOOL…? …WHAT THE HELL: …REPEALED AND REPLACED

    How could the ‘…MINISTER’ be assigned responsibility for the ‘…BOYS’ TRAING SCHOOL’ (No. 9), when Parliament has already ‘…REPEALED AND REPLACED’ the ‘…TRAINING SCHOOL ACT’ [Chapter 436], with the ‘…CHILD JUSTICE ACT’ [ No. 23 of 2015: Section 88 (c)].

    ***

    NON-STIGMATIZED NAME:

    THEY HAD BETTER FIND A ‘…NON-STIGMATIZED NAME,’ THAN:

    (a) ‘…BOYS’ TRAINING SCHOOL: and

    (b) …MISLEADING THEMSELVES AND ‘…ANR.’

    ***

    GOVERNMENT POLICIES:

    Now ‘…GOVERNMENT POLICIES’ HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ‘…GOVERNMENT POLICIES.’

    ***
    COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY:

    (a) ‘…The ‘CABINET’ has always been ‘…COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY.’

    (b) …In the ‘…Decision-Making Process,’ it has always been about: “…COLLECTIVE RESSPONSIBILITY.’

    NOW:

    Given these, ‘…NONE,’ shall say: ‘…THESE ARE WHAT THE PRIME MINISTER HAS DECIDED.’

    ***

    QUESTIONS:

    (i) ‘…JUST WHY 25-AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY’ (Mostly Matters of Welfare)? and

    (ii) …WHICH MINISTRIES MAY HAVE BEEN CANNIBALIZED TO PROVIDE FOR THE NEWLY APPOINTED MINISTER?’

    (iii) …IS THIS THE WAY CABINET DECIDED ON ‘…TYING DOWN THE MINISTER’ that he shall not be occupied, or engaged in:

    (a) ‘…SELF-SERVING MATTERS: or activities, that speak to the ‘…MINISTER’S

    (b) …PERSONAL/SELF-INTEREST?’

    ***

    HOME ADVANCEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE INDIGENT (HAPI):

    HAPPY PROGRAMME…? …WHAT THE HELL…?

    Now, when ‘…ANR’ refers to the ‘…PROGRAMME’ as ‘…HAPPY,’ any darn thing could run through the mind of the populace.

    But clearly not imputing anything untoward.

    ***
    BAD FOR DUPLICITY: ‘…NOs: 24 AND 25: – SAME HOUSING PROGRAMME’

    ANR shall now see that these ‘…NUMBERS,’ are ‘…BAD FOR DUPLICITY.’

    ALL THE ‘…HAPPINESS’ MIGHT VERY WELL BE IN THE ‘…DUPLICITOUS: ‘…NOS: 24 AND 25.’

    ***

    1-24 AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY:

    Now, if ‘…UNHAPPY’ with the other ‘…1 to 123 AREAS,’ this ‘…MINISTER’ could still feel darn ‘…HAPPY’ with any ‘…INITIATIVE’ that brings ‘…HAPPINESS’ TO:

    (i) ‘…THE ELDERLY:

    (ii) THOSE FACING ABJECT POVERTY: and

    (iii) …SATISFACTION TO THOSE MANAGING ‘…HAPI.’

    ***

    SPREADING HAPPINESS:

    LIKENED TO JOY, LET ‘…HAPI’ SPREAD HAPPINESS’ IN EVERY ‘…INDIGENT COMMUNITY: …NOOK AND CRANNY.

    ***

    LIKENED TO SIN, ALL MISERIES SHALL BE ‘…WASHED AWAY’ BY ‘…HAPI’ AND WITH ‘…HAPPINESS.’

    ***
    NOW:

    (a) ‘…IF ‘HAPI’ BRINGS ‘…HAPPINESS,’ TALK GOOD:

    (b) …IF IT IS ‘CROOKEDNESS,’ well, MIND HOW YOU TALK.’

    ***

    BE SURE TO WAIT ‘TIL YOU GET ON THE PATH WITH THE SIGN: ‘…TO HEAVEN.’

    ***

    WALK GOOD.
