The Ten Point
Sham Economy
- Has topsy-turvy priorities aimed at satisfying a patronage
clique for myopic political expediency.
- Imports more than it exports with the consequence that it
is kept afloat by donor budget props and NGO money.
- Keeps clamouring for export markets while failing to tap
the local demand which is largely satisfied by imports.
- Cannot produce a single item requiring specialized skills
to compete favourably on the international market.
- Incapable of producing any machines and buries its head in
the sand by continuing to believe that agriculture will generate
enough export revenue to import the much lusted-after machines.
- Fails to recognise that utilising its fertile soil to ensure
food security for everyone is the top prerequisite for modernisation.
- Is incapable of recognising and fulfilling education needs
that will solve local problems to develop everyone in the process.
- Gets hoodwinked into gobbling up ‘free’ 4WD vehicles
from donors such that in the end everyone lusts after these
vehicles and blatantly steals monies to own one or even as many
as possible.
- Is full of technocrats who are not even aware that they are
clueless as to how they can develop the country and who therefore
have the misguided arrogance of ‘experts’.
- Blames everything and everyone for the economic woes but
the true disease: lack of the ability to understand local problems
and harness the bountiful resources to solve them so as to stimulate
economic growth.
