I had given myself up to this month end/weekend to feel free to criticize harshly but constructively, the still “new” May 2015- Granger Administration.
Personal generosity, born out of conviction that some fifteen (out of 23) years of largely failed governance and management of national resources cannot be swiftly erased with instant success, made me decide that the APNU+AFC honeymoon should be a long sympathetic one. Current discoveries of rapacious financial improprieties allegedly by PPP/C- covetous operatives will be supplemented by still more revelations. As the governmental honeymoon ends, the “ruling” coalition, the Cabinet and government will have to balance the distractions of thievery, investigation and prosecution of former kleptocrats and the “embedding” of pre-emptive codes and safeguards for the new and the current, with formulation and implementation of their manifesto policies and progammes.
That’s why I felt that three/five months should be extended to the new arrivals to find their feet for a long journey into the horizon of hope and achievement- on behalf all who voted, couldn’t or wouldn’t. Anyhow, I now feel free to choose just five ministers whose portfolios and performance must attract constant scrutiny.
