Huawei debuts triple-folding Mate XT smartphone Huawei has revealed an image of the Mate XT, the world's first tri-folding smartphone – and that was apparently enough to spark over a million orders for the device.

Instead, the apparently proper, legal and democratic approach is to take actions decided on by "private conversation" out of the glare of the voting public. Sorry, but that bloke should not be paid with public funds and should be sacked now.
I imagine the 'private conversation' might have this outcome:

"You really didn't do your homework on this, did you? Now excuse me while I distance myself from you and the hole you've dug for your career"
