I recently read a comment by a resident of Debe that Dr Wayne should have died already, that he is fighting a losing battle and that the majority of the people of Debe want the link road.All that may be true save and except that all around Dr K are these beautiful and simple folk who are not politicians, they are the residents themselves, the environmentalists and simple folk who just want a better life and better country than the one that they have now.
Never have I heard any one of them say that they want Wayne to die–they want him to live!
Wayne himself wants to live and prays every day that the Good Lord will soften the heart of the Prime Minister. He and people from all over the country prayed on Monday that the people of the southland understand that they do not want to stop the highway, they want to build the highway, just not through the lagoon. All of us prayed yesterday for understanding of the Re-route position, that it is about more than the highway, it is about a string of broken promises and betrayals.
This is a movement for truth. It is about more than this highway and has become synonymous with good government and best practices, integrity in public life and morality in public affairs.
