And this is were it all ends….talk, talk and urging stake holders. No follow ups, and not holding people accountable. Zed indeed.
So it is just about asking stakeholders to do something about it! Why should they? What has he done about it himself apart from asking others to do it?
Cholera, Malaria, HIV/AIDS and now even swine flu – and poverty on top all this…what a life!
