Partly Facetious : IK grappling with cabinet colleagues

"I no longer subscribe to the view that an honest chief executive would clean the stables."
Published August 30, 2019

"I no longer subscribe to the view that an honest chief executive would clean the stables."
"Ha ha, having second thoughts about voting for The Khan?"
"Not really because I still believe he would not sanction corruption though his weakness is that he believes what those around him tell him."
"Well, everyone has to have a team and..."
"Granted; and granted that he is grappling with cabinet members who use portfolios like a transit lounge...."
"That's one way to refer to turncoats....."
"Hey, if you support u turns then to be consistent you have to support turncoats because they are a form of a U-turn..."
"Don't be facetious; so why don't you subscribe to an honest chief executive being able to clean the stables any more?"
"Oh I believe very strongly that we need an honest chief executive but we need a chief executive who likes to read...now we know that The Khan reacted to two of Nawaz Sharif's way of undertaking the business of government namely reading out prepared speeches and never holding a cabinet meeting so now we have a Prime Minister who makes blunders and on occasion rambles during his speeches inside and out of the country and the number of cabinet meetings are too many I reckon but..."
"Business of government, that would irritate The Khan though I guess it is a business in this country, big business, anyway I sure hope The Khan reads out a prepared speech at the United Nations..."
"Yes, but going back to what I was saying I strongly urge the Prime Minister to abandon Nawaz Sharif's practice of never reading any document..."
"There I agree with you completely, but The Khan doesn't like to read newspapers though he does watch television but then complains and rightly so, on occasion, of a bias, and he needs to read the files - please Mr Prime Minister read the IMF agreement signed by your economic team, please read the budget documents, please read..."
"He is not an economist and so must rely on others to explain..."
"Agreed, but if he reads serious newspapers and analysis he would get the gist of these documents and..."
"Then we may have the relevant people trying to get their articles published and..."
"And The Khan doesn't need to read them because he can summon them for an explanation/clarification..."
"That's true."
