In everyday language that amounts to a substantial increase in the number of jobs, improved social services and infrastructure throughout the country, a fair, honest and peaceful society and an environment that is both productive and protected. Two years ago, we set out the concepts and principles to which Government would adhere in pursuing its objectives. We promised a society that would construct rather than destroy and one that would respect rather than abuse the law. We promised a transparent and accountable Government with an open agenda and a determination to uphold the rule of law and, above all, we pledged that there would be consultation. This Government will maintain that approach and work harder at make every aspect of it a reality.
Actions speak louder than words.
ESRA represented Government's promise to all the stakeholders in Swazi society, a promise of action to kick-start the Nation's drive towards achieving economic growth and good governance as well as improving social services. ESRA has been an effective management tool. That is not to say that every target was achieved. In this new administration, we shall not only continue that technique but we shall promise more and deliver more. There will also be greater accountability within Government, as well as accountability from Government to the rest of the Nation.
