GOVERNMENT HAS GOT A HUGE CHALLENGE
Sir,
While I congratulate the Honourable Prime Minster and his government on the Programme of Action for reaching Vision 2022, I wish to say it happened at the wrong time, in the wrong environment.
Sir, our government has got one and only one sickness, which has resisted the efforts of pastors, healers and women of prayer to heal; that of having good ideas but failing to implement them, period. Government has for a long time failed to speed up both criminal and civil cases.
Government has for a long time seen the need to construct more fire stations, or rather mobile ones. But nothing tangible has taken place.
Can we then trust government with the Programme of Action? Back to my topic, Sir; why I am saying our government has got a huge challenge I am saying this because it will be difficult to introduce such a programme of action to people who are without jobs following the loss of AGOA. I am sure we need to fix things like that beforehand.
We have to be optimistic that people are settled before we assign them to work. The main people needed to work towards this Vision 2022 are the citizens out there, but how is that possible when they are without something to eat?
Let us think of a person who earns E1 000 a month in a situation when bus fares are hiked and the country loses AGOA; at the same time we expect that person to be active? It will be difficult.
I want to say our government has got a challenge in restoring the trust of the people.
It has a challenge in showing the citizens the beautiful part of being governed by the Tinkhundla System. Still, time singatatateli kube konakele.
Ronnie Dlamini, Gege
