The world is now in an era of selfish Money grabbing
people, colluding to corrupt Morals and Ethics, by any means necessary. Leading
A Nation requires money to fund its population’s basic needs and to grow
its economy to fund its future, but no matter the sovereign wealth, the nation
also desperately needs strong morals, without any political bias. Presidential or
Majestic Leadership is responsible, on the ground not only speaking but
listening with one and only one agenda item, Public Morals. Religious leaders
and Politicians must undergo the same test of moral thinking and ethical
behavior, setting an example of good social citizenry for the entire population.
Optimist or Pessimist, Ideas
into Industry, and the resulting economic growth and happiness can only be achieved
for the many rather than for the few.
Politicians Promise better to the population, the
electorate, whatever is necessary to win an election. Policies, Programs and
Projects to better standards of living and solve ecological, social and
economic problems. Elected as law-makers to the Parliament, one of the branches
of Government, members vote and allocate Money to a national budget controlled
by, another branch of Government, the Executive. Transparency in awarding Money,
Publicly Funded Contracts and Procurement activities, is essential in giving
the public confidence in its fairness. But, noting that, trust in these data-driven
intelligence reports is strengthen, coming directly from Independent Regulatory
Agencies, led by Professional Public Officers, appointed by a special majority
of Parliament or a Presidential Commission to add morals. i.e. Nation Auditors,
Statistical Bodies, Central Banks, Office
Of Budgets.
Public Officers, hired to deliver Public Services, trained
using public funds, are Police Officers and other members of the Armed Forces
engaged in National Security, are medical workers delivering Healthcare, are Professionals
involved in Education, are Engineers and Builders of Infrastructure, and are administrators
and regulators of Economic Drivers. The leadership of the civil service creates,
amends, reads and interprets rules to manage ministerial mandates and implement
newly formed or reformed policies, programs and projects. But Processes and
Procedures for implementation are politically delegated to Publicly funded, Special
Purpose, State Owned, Companies. With Allocations needed to Audit and Manage
Money, but much less to Monitor Morals which, falls to a fraud squad investigation.
Taxpayers, the source of the nation’s revenue, assessed,
billed and collected by properly constituted Revenue Agencies, are Registered Corporate
Bodies which pay Royalties, Corporation Tax, and other profit-based levies, Employees
whose Personal Income Tax are withheld, Consumers who pay Value Added Tax and
other sales-based taxes. It is this Revenue Collection which pays for; Resource
Preservation to keep
the population Safe and Secure, Human
Development to make the
population Healthy, Skilled and Confident, Infrastructure
Management to tool and
equip the population, Economic
Drivers to build and expand Sectors and Industries, to compete and earn
Taxation Revenue, Fiscal
Policy to control the nation’s cash flow, and Governance
to take Oversight of Decisions. Hence, it is Government
Priorities to achieve Happiness,
Peace and Respect throughout the society.
People are so proud of their own individual, personal
accreditations, achievements and lifestyles, that they forget to bring the Society,
the Nation, along. Many highly qualified and so-called successful persons, cannot
and will not have a sensible conversation on the Nation’s Budgeting
Priorities; Core Revenue, Public Sector Expenditure, Net Surplus/(Deficit),
Consolidated Funds, Debt Servicing, Total Public Debt, or Sovereign Wealth. Sticking
to their lane, and jailing themselves in their own homes, without recognizing or
appreciating that it is this nation which provided and continues to provide for
their own SYNERGIES
(Reduce Risks); Securities, Healthcare,
Education,
Infrastructure
and Economic
Drivers. While, leaving many people behind with derogatory labels,
unable to earn and maintain a basic standard of living, dangerously widening
the wealth gap and loosening morals.
