Perv to hand over power November 1st...
President Gen Pervez Musharraf said here on Thursday that he would hand over his powers to the new prime minister on Nov 1. "We will go through the normal legal process after the elections includes to hand over my administrative powers to the prime minister," he added. "I assure you that the new PM will enjoy all powers. He will be given a free hand to run his affairs without any interference," Gen Musharraf said. "If he screws it up, we'll bounce him and start over..." The president added that he would accept the verdict of the people as they were the final authority. "Any political party which succeeds in getting majority will form the government," he said, adding that he and his cabinet colleagues would certainly accept the outcome of this elections. "Fundos, crooks, it doesn't matter. We know what we're gettin' won't be much, but it'll be a start..." Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-10-11 |
