Let’s get the runoff on

THE EDITOR: Madam Prime Minister you have the support of the vast majority of the population for the Constitution Amendment Bill 2014 that calls for a runoff in the constituencies where there is no clear majority winner ie someone securing over 50 percent of the votes cast.

All those nay sayers never consulted anyone and are not authorised to speak on behalf of the vast majority of the population. A team went to every nook and cranny of the country to hear the views of all on Constituency Reform. All those meetings were properly advertised in all forms of the media. All were invited to voice their opinions on the matter at hand. All views were fully ventilated and it is foolhardy now for that miniscule splintered few to claim to speak for us all. Move away, you had dozens of opportunities to air your views and you chose to abandon your opportunity so shoo away.

Let’s get it on for the sake of good governance.
