"Blueprint"- the latest
buzzword. My opinion: I'll rather a government that keeps me on a need-to-know,
but gets things moving, keeps ticking right boxes, not trying to do everything
at once, than to be romanced with speeches and promises not intended to be
kept. I have had too much of those already: Poverty Re(pro)duction Strategy
Papers (PRSPs), Vision 20-somethings that kept changing, the decelerated
Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment (PAGE), the digitised oil on
CD, and other acronyms unending.
Perhaps the reason why the “New
Gambia” Government is yet to provide the highly craved blueprint is because
they're trying to overstand why most of the neatly blueprinted schemes in the
past didn't work, and to avoid a 'dankong-dorong' typa plan. If so and I hope
so, that's fair enough. We don't want to start from bloom to gloom. Misdoing is
tabling a national blueprint just to stop the public outcry, but without
commitment; you know, one that'll just pass the time, and end up being just
another false-hope-raising tired arse wish.
