She said, “We want our leaders to be accountable. If they say they will do something, they must do it and if they can’t, they should at least be accountable for it. I think that is just what the people want. We understand that you can fall out of line. It is normal but if you do, you should be able to own it”.
“Stand up and say that this has happened because of this but if things are passing us and we try to act or react and you act like we’re being stubborn, that’s when the people revolt and it’s not really nice”, the comedienne further expressed.
