It's lonely at the top

A few weeks ago, the supposedly-democratic leader of an African country that we shall call, Iwalam, dismissed his entire 41-member cabinet. All gone. Dissolved. The office of the president is now in charge. And, there is no constitutional time frame by which the president has to fill these posts.

I could be wrong, but "government" suggests something plural to me. One individual tasked with heading all branches of government and all Ministries sounds like a different word, a word that I will let you fill in yourself. Others around here are also beginning to lose patience, calling for swifter measures to fill an increasing chasm of leadership. There are droughts, fuel, forex, food shortages, HIV, closed universities, poor schools, bad roads, etc., to deal with. Plus, there is a shortage of plain non-fat yogurt that NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ALARMED BY BUT ME!!!!
