They finally did it ! We saw it coming !

They got rid of him, the firm and uncompromising CEO of the FSC .
He was brought in to clear the cobwebs, the muck in an institution where patronage and lack of governance had corrupted an ecosystem in which reform had become hard and disruption even more difficult. The institution was in dire need of the moral and intellectual stimulation and the ethical coordinates that he brought in .
He managed for a while the delicate task of walking the tightrope between the politically influential, the Gang , the rogue bureaucrats and their masters and the distinct lobbies.
He felt emboldened for some time by some distinct patches of support from some quarters . But the Gang and their rogue bureaucrats were relentlessly at work undermining him, spinning a web of lies around him and dispensing with all of their underhand tactics.
Finally the day came when Dr. Désiré Vencatachellum , a highly accomplished development finance executive and economist with over 30 years of international experience in strategic leadership, resource mobilization, and financial regulation, felt that the risk to remain battered tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
He tendered his resignation for it was a waste of effort and goodwill. Another one in our long list of " breath of fresh air" that we have failed to take advantage of !!!
Cry , my beloved country, Cry !
