Then you have NewsDay and its brooding conspiracies. Vice President Kembo Mohadi took his annual leave soon after his term as Acting President ended. He is very much around and well enough to sit musingly watching his lovely herd!!! He tells me it has never been fatter, thanks to

He would have wanted to be with the President at yesterday's sorrowful burial event, in fact insisted to do so. The President restated his ORDER and the Vice President had to watch proceedings from home. He will resume work shortly and we all hope headlines of humble retractions
