The
people must trust their leaders; politicians, lawmakers and members of the
executive or cabinet, and leaders must be worthy of such public trust, for
progress to be achieved for all the nation's peoples. Unfortunately, the ideal circumstance,
for all groups in a society to agree and act together, is at the very end of
self determination, when desperation sets in! Prescriptions to cure an economy
in recession, achieve sustainable development, and constantly improve standards
of living for all the people, are bitter and require sacrifices from all
society's groupings. While, preventing harsh adjustments require a fair
distribution of wealth and the building of reserves.

Governance 2017
(An extract from Foreign Direct Investment 2017)
A
nation's development is badly hindered and retarded by individual greed;
corrupt public officers, bias reporting, unfair hiring practices, slow justice,
unbalance dispute settlements, unlawful opinions, compromised records, a lack
of transparency, general back room dealings, selling executive influence,
misusing presidential privilege, laws to benefit the few rather than the many, practices
and actions which have to be avoided, rooted out, dealt with and, ultimately
replaced by Good Governance.

Fiscal Policy 2017
(An extract from Foreign Direct Investment 2017)
Civil
wars, insurrections, uprisings, protests, workers strikes, all are rooted in
the distribution of wealth. This is the responsibility of the nation's elected
executive; to design, adopt, fine-tune, implement and revise policies, which
would encourage and reward risk-takers' investment while, maintaining a
measured standard of living through employment and the uplifting of the
vulnerable in society. Investment, Employment and Social Benefits are the
opportunities essential for nation building. However, the nation's capability
to earn from its present or projected revenue streams, increasing productivity,
currently carries much less influence, when compared to the nation's power or
ability to borrow and, of course, service and repay the debt. In other words,
it is presently easier to borrow than to diversify.
