With elections coming soon, the candidates are looking at who can get that top position and surely have their plans laid out. We hear about economic recovery, third pillars, the state of the tourism, fixing the infrastructure, improving the education system, social ills and much more. These candidates are gunning for four years not one day.
However, consider that in one day, contracts under negotiation can be stopped, action can be taken against employees, new initiatives can be put in place, working projects can be stopped, new employees can be hired, new furniture and vehicles can be bought and promises can be fulfilled or broken. This does happen in one day after when a new party takes power in some countries.
What we have to be mindful of is that when the taxpayers money is spent or invested, while we may not agree with a project, it may have to go forward. The great thing is that changes can be made to improve or tweak the project. I am never for wasteful or pompous behavior and prefer to always see the best interest of the people being sought.
In one day, good things can happen but planning, prayer and perseverance count for a lot. We may say that we have not seen anything happen in four years but it is our own red tape system that causes this. Maybe we should be thinking about re-election the day after the voters hit the polls and actually campaign within the four years by making things happen in the country and by responding to the voters needs.
