Why no elected presidency in the beginning?

Because we were poor. There was nothing to protect. No reserves to protect.

People toiled for a living. They lived by the sweat of their brow.

Through hard work, a clean, competent and prudent government, we accumulated reserves and by the mid 1980s, there was actually something to protect.

Hence the elected presidency was legislated - in 1991.
