The statement partly read, "A country fails when instead of reassuring its citizens by actions and policies that the future is secure, it becomes a case of most people planning to flee the country to other climes where their governments are truly functioning. Such is practically our case today. One whose house is on fire should not take to the streets dancing.
"While it is true that our problems did not start under this administration, they seem to have worsened economically and politically in these past six years.

"The sad part is that there is no articulate coordinated response from the government to stem these downward trends, apart from the usual 'playing the ostrich' and throwing tantrums when they are criticised, like the rather hasty suspension of Twitter."
