Gambia's Yahya Jammeh threatens 'lazy workers'

From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16636685

Yahya Jammeh has been sworn in for a fourth term as Gambia's president and promised to "wipe out 82%" of workers, accusing them of being lazy.

The former army officer promised to be "even more dangerous than when I was in uniform".

He also vowed to turn his tiny West African nation into an "economic superpower" over the next five years.

President Jammeh first seized power in 1994 but was re-elected in December in a widely criticised poll.

"You cannot be in your offices every day doing nothing... and at the end of the day you expect to be paid," he said on a televised address on Wednesday.

"This has to stop. You either do your work or leave or go to jail," the president said.

"I will wipe out almost 82% of those in the workforce in the next five years starting this Friday unless they change their attitudes," he said - without elaborating.

Now, would this guy make a dream candidate for the GOP, or what?
