Dear judge Mbadwa,
My lord, I understand you have joined the group of those taking honey in place of sugar in the true sense of the spirit of humbling oneself in this Easter season.
Sugar has now become the scarce commodity on the market, but it is the ingenuity of the Tokha Are Liars that I want to acknowledge here.
Of course, I felt embarrassed on your behalf my lord when you were pushed and shoved out of that queue of citizens scrambling for sugar.
I was relieved when I saw you clutching a bottle of honey to maintain some modicum of integrity as you walked out of that supermarket chaos.
A ‘sugarless’ Easter looks like the right way of showing penance this season. The economic challenges the country is facing needed some kind of fasting and repentance. There was no better way to force people into fasting than denying them sugar.
My lord, I am not going to buy the argument that the government doesn’t own sugar making companies because in our puerile or infantile understanding of governance, it is the leadership that drives policy even in a free market economy we claim to confess.
The Tokha Are Liars know there is a village of people supported by a single civil servant ; hence, it was only logical for the administration to send the public employees on an Easter retreat penniless lest the citizens buy food instead of fasting.
My lord, I understand that the administration has decided not to pay the civil servants to give them the liberty to smoke Cannabis Sativa without restraint during this season. What a clever way of forcing the nation to humble itself in the spirit of Easter!
The Easter season had to be welcomed in the true somber and sorrowful mood of Gethsemane; allowing the citizens to operate in a ‘sugarless’ and ‘moneyless’ environment courtesy of the Tokha Are Liars.
But the scarcity of sugar and the delay in processing civil servants salaries are not the sufferings that believers should share with Christ Jesus as the Christian faith community remembers how He led mankind to salvation.
My Lord, if the Tokha Are Liars administration is broke, it should come forward and admit it and we will see how we can help it sail through its economic troubled waters.
Since Easter is time for forgiveness, I am not placing charges against Tokha for subjecting the citizens to chamba smoking in a ‘sugarless’ and ‘moneyless’ environment.
Wasn’t Christ bruised for our iniquity and wounded for our transgression? Let Tokha put its house in order.
Happy Easter for He is risen,
Yours,
Mbadwa Yeniyeni
