Time to look after the people

AS we approach the end of the elections, there is much excitement and joy for the victors and regrets and frustrations for the losers.
For the victors,they have cleared the hurdle.
But they still have a thousand hurdles to clear over the next five years.
What leaders should be envisioning now is how best they can develop the right policies, develop the human resource capacity, attract investments to boost our economy, focus on sustainable economic activities such as agriculture, youth empowerment or viability programmes, strengthen public service and administration mechanism through sectoral efficiency and effectiveness of public service de­livery and finally, implement them.
Their core focus should be the people.
All political responsibi­lities should be geared towards the best interest of the people and not to build political empires for power and wealth.
There is only one purpose for our MPs – fulfil the people’s hopes and aspirations by delivering goods and services that will have positive impacts on us and our living standard.
Let us hope for good transformation and to uphold our political inte­grity as one people and one nation, so that our children can develop within political cultures that would take them to the next level.
Let the past 10 months of political impasse be consigned to our history book.
Join hands in the spirit of nationalism as we walk together to reach the pro­mised land to fight for one victory, one glory and one identity.
