************************************************************************************************************************* HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ************************************************************************************************************************* Typical of some Africans to tout degrees they hold but not what they can accomplish. Lord, help us; glad to see that, at least, people did not fall for it this time and instead derided "Mr Degrees Holder." Ann Marie *"Ms. Samba-Panza defeated seven other candidates, including the sons of two former presidents and* *a man whose claim to hold degrees that no other Central Africans possess drew hoots of derision in the assembly chamber on Monday.* She was elected in a five-hour process involving two separate hand counts and the double reading-out of all 120-odd members of the assembly."
