The PPP had a free hand for 20 years and the good faith of the international community to fund them but they failed. We still have a crippled electrical grid, communication infrastructure poor, health care mediocre, etc and the only thing the excelled at is thieving like brutes.

 

This government need more than economists looking for malignity here and there to mediate cost benefits. Some things are imperative, require steadfast will and laser focus. These include the need to renovate and heal the eclectically grid of line loss, thieft and poor redundancy. It needs resolute decisions to introduce alternative green energy from solar wind to biomass. And we need to bring up a country wide communication network. 

 

None of the above can be neglected in the short run and none are prohibitive to bring on line quickly. Rapid and reliable communication and energy is fundamental. It will enhance everything else including health care and crime prevention.
