President David Granger yesterday declared that the nation’s future depends on wider political inclusiveness and challenged the National Assembly to take a lead in the process.
“The National Assembly must take the first step on the long road to social cohesion, to political inclusion and to economic resilience,” Granger said in an address to Parliament yesterday.
“Our nation’s future stability depends also on wider political inclusiveness; the ethnic arithmetic of the past can only mean that a minority could be excluded from government by a majority, however slim,” he further told those sitting in the parliamentary chamber, including members of the diplomatic corps and heads of the joint services.
