You don’t get it

Re: P.M. and villager leaders 

Wendy, you will remain confused if you jump to conclusions.

Nowhere in the report does it say the mayors are the last word in the village. The P.M. did not elevate the mayors as the head of the villages.

Mayors are nominated by the villages, not by government. The so-called paid staff you refer to are not immune from scrutiny thus the report saying, “chiefs have been tasked to report non-performing village mayors”. 

The PM was merely reminding the village leaders of their role which is to lead by example. The P.M. may not be my favourite politician but he gets my nod here.
