The president didn’t provide answers to most of the questions,no clear depth and clarity when asked on subsidy the president failed to to say the paid subsidy till early this year and the government kept on lying they were not subsiding. The president couldn’t articulate how inflation will come down, he just said more production in Agriculture with no clear plan. He didn’t articulate his view on the forex market and the inhibitions of the devaluation. He contradicted himself by talking about reducing the cost of government but defended running a bloated cabinet and said we should mention ministers that aren’t doing well,but also said we can do more in solid minerals so why is the minster not delivering, what’s happening in the marine economy,the minster of power hasn’t ensured power,the band A system has collapsed as they hardly get power. Apart from some ministers ( a few) most are not doing well. The president also didn’t expatriate on the tax bill and sell it properly to the people when asked about VAT. The chat was low on policy and details. I repeat hope is not an empirical proposition, the president must show action and intended policy. Till date, nothing is said about the import waiver on food that failed, also the president once promised 10m hectares cultivation. He also said he will give loans to farmers, how will these policies be executed???
