I hope the executive takes a fair and balance approach to this whole Waa issue. It warrants a full investigation by the party before anyone jumps to conclusions. If not, then they will be guilty of the same charges as they often times criticize the president for.
Waa is not insane to come up with unfound accusations like this, knowing fully well what it could cause him personally and politically. Hopefully, Ousainou as intelligent and reasonable as he is, will not let this get out of hand. If he has any leadership abilities in him, then this certainly is a litmus test for him.
The party's future lies on this, and hell will break lose if it's not quickly resolved.
