We are all expecting an unscathed leadership from his end, but unfortunately, we are experiencing the same old "dead goat " we've known him to be . Nothing has changed.  In this 120 days, we've seen the sacking of over 12000 public sector workers by the approval of the same old "dead goat " JM. This action defeats his 24-hour economy campaign promise. In this 120 days, we're experiencing the return of his trademark erratic power supply ( dumsor ). This has led to the burning and destruction of markets, shops, homes, and businesses.  We've seen the excessive abuse of power, especially from national security officials and NDC known vigilante...
