Current, and preceding, policy makers should own up to their mistakes in failing to devise a framework for growth. Invariably, our rulers are found blaming the opposition, and external factors, instead of looking inwards at their self-centred policies. Thirdly, constant ignorance to the alarms being raised by global credit rating agencies require aggressive rebuilding of the economy instead of ‘befitting’ responses. If we don’t act soon, we will be feeding 350-400million odd people through imports, leaving little to no scope for a capital intensive, value-adding and high skilled economy. Don’t push the economy off the cliff.
