Congolese Blogger Ben-Clet Decries Swearing Politician

Over at the group effort Le Blog du Congolais, Congolese blogger Ben-Clet deplores the ethics of Congolese Vice-President Abdoulaye Yerodia who recenty insulted two political rivals (Pierre Pay Pay and Etienne Tshisekedi ) during a live television broadcast: “Arming yourself with Lingala, one of 4 national languages, you tried to impress the members of your party [PPRD]. The flow of profanities that you uttered shocked unsuspecting viewers who expected a wise if not balanced political message. End result: many women, men and youth have been “offended” by your trivial discourse”.
