Where Is Senator Cletus Wotorson
31.12.69
My attention has been drawn to the absence from Plenary sessions of the 53rd Legislature of Honorable Cletus S. Wotorson, Senator of Grand Kru County. My concern is an embodiment of the frustration and disenchantment of thousands of other kinsmen across the traditional communities of Grand Kru County about the whereabouts of Senator Wotorson.
The reason is simple. When the totality of the material consciousness of a people rests upon the intellect of a fellow kinsman, firmly believing that he would articulate their aspirations by adequate representation to generate growth and development especially for them in a county like Grand Kru that has suffered political neglect and marginalization for decades, then it becomes the collective responsibility of those affected to rise and raise questions about the low state of their political representation in the legislature by the prolonged, unexplained and indefinite absence from plenary by Senator Wotorson. The people of Grand Kru are yet to receive an officially clear and unambiguous explanation as to why the Honorable Senator has not sat for a single sitting since the inauguration of the 53rd Legislature.
