THE President’s announcement of a report that gives full disclosure on all projects are way overdue, but more than welcome seeing we are treated to charges and suspicion every day in some sections of the media.
The government’s offer to share any undisclosed or sensitive parts of agreements not made public with the opposition, is also welcomed. Government’s willingness to discuss ongoing projects with them leaves no excuse to say they do not know what is going on with a project.

These facts must be emphasised to their supporters and all media. This report should be hand-delivered to the opposition leaders. Why say it is long overdue; the answer is in the President’s own words: “l sincerely hope that this will end a lot of speculation because you’ll be having some facts”, why not sooner?

Adopting a proactive communication policy of providing as much information as possible as soon as possible instead of waiting for a presumed best time may not be a good idea. Also, instead of reacting to criticisms or when one responds fully to any misleading charges should not be left to individual officials but required from all officials to prevent issues from being better challenged over long periods, if at all.
It seems as if the opposition prefer to make projects and corruption charges an issue in the Parliament, rather than acknowledge to their supporters that they have the information and no definite proof of corruption. They have struck out on Lotto and other issues, now they are demanding the NCN report. Is this another matter which government should have handled better? How proactive is government in making sure they are addressing problems in enforcing the Linden agreement? They say your worst enemy is you. I do hope the government is learning.
