Governing

Dear Editor,

 

Please permit me through your letter column to congratulate those members of the APNU+AFC and the PPP/C who were elected to give directions, regulations, control, restraint on this nation for next five years, and to quote the seventeenth century Dutch Scholar, Hugo Groutius:

“He knows not how to rule a kingdom that cannot manage a Province; nor can he wield a Province, that cannot order a City; nor he order a City, a Family; nor can that man Govern well a Family that knows not to Govern himself; neither can any Govern himself unless his reason be Lord, Will and Appetite her Vassals…”

 

Yours faithfully,

Vernon Lynch
