EDITORIAL: Let reasoning guide people

With poverty rising by the day, more people are looking for shortcuts to get rich. This social phenomenon is manifested in more and more people turning to witchcraft and other dubious practices. There are adverts all over the country promising to make you rich or successful without working hard. All you have to do is try out these shortcuts and all the riches you want will be yours.

>Members of the Constituent Assembly (MCAs) want to maintain the clause in the Constitution that forbids a petition against the winner of the presidential vote. This is truly shocking. What the MCAs are proposing is that once the winner of the presidential votes is announced, no one has the constitutional right to appeal.
