President says "page turned"

    NAIROBI

    President Ange-Felix Patasse said his country had "turned over a page". In an interview with Radio France Internationale last week on his second term as president, he said his government would opt for "sincere dialogue". Army mutinies, which had characterised his first term in office, were a thing of the past. He blamed the incidents on "misunderstandings", and
    said he had learned from his mistakes. "We are taking a series of measures to revamp public finance by fighting energetically against fraud and the embezzlement of funds, corruption, the corrupt people and those who corrupt them," he said.
