Oh yes, if I were Paramount Chief Kyungu, I would also name in the split of transparency the chiefs from the two districts who endorsed the idea and also whether they made an effort to get the views of their subjects.

If only I were Paramount Chief Kyungu, I would also realise that my position does not entail that I impose things on my subjects, but rather carry out thorough consultation. n
