CTG's policy

The caretaker government should look at the big picture of where this country is heading. There have been no significant economic developments; in fact, we are cursed with rising prices and various other afflictions at the moment. There is a crackdown on the extremely corrupt officials such as those of Titas Gas. They should be commended for that. However, generally the economy has slowed down. The salaries of government officials need to be raised to a more realistic level, given today's prices. The government would benefit from external professional management consultants who can introduce systems whereby the gas/electricity employees will not be able to breathe without someone knowing about it. They also need to encourage and support business activities and give up the scare tactics which has stunted economic growth. This will lead to more employment and prosperity for the people and more tax for the government to use for projects. If they put their hands up in defeat, apologise and accept that most of the economy is black and work with this fact, rather than fighting it, then the "small" importers can carry out business as before and hopefully bring down the food prices.
Eventually, if they work with this fact and show some humility instead of force, they may persuade them to pay taxes, import legally and become good citizens, but right now the beggars cannot be the choosers. We are in a deadlock of mutual distrust and the poor are paying the price.
