"..And CALEB stilled the people before Moses, and said, 'Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it'.." Numbers 13:30 There are moments in life when rhetoric must be hushed, when the drumbeat of panic should be put out to pasture, and when the timid, however loud they were yesterday, must make room for resolve. Plateau is at such a moment. Like Caleb in scriptures, Governor Mutfwang now stands at a threshold where courage, calculation, and conviction converge. To say its merely a "move" is to misunderstand its gravity: this is not a tremor to be exaggerated by pundits of panic; it is the measured clearing of the throat before a long, necessary sentence is spoken. Great political philosophers have opined that politics, at its best, is the disciplined application of means to ends, a craft of leverage, compromise, and strategic placement. When a governor who has weathered an unrelenting storm chooses to rep...

Those who know Senator Mwadkon closely can testify to his compassion, generosity, and unwavering vision for Plateau North. His legacy of philanthropy...
