The electorate has been calling for fresh elections to produce a more purposeful Parliament that will serve the public far from personal interests. They have also been agitating for a Cabinet full of technocrats with utmost readiness to cooperate with the legislature for the good of the country.
The leadership has been steadfastly following up the legislative-executive political tension that has taken toll on the national economy and impeded the growth of foreign investment, so the best way to satisfy the citizens is for the incumbent Parliament to give way to a more robust one. It is now time to quickly constitute a vibrant Cabinet that can successfully steer the ship of the nation until the election of new lawmakers.
