Whilst learned-Gambia takes
complicated work for a standard by which bigmanism is measured, the rest of
intelligent civilisation is getting rid of excessive regulations and cutting
bureaucratic red tape, because all it does is create more corrupt hands for the
cookie jar, makes irrelevant jobs essential, increases the cost of doing
business, and slows the efforts of those with ideas (entrepreneurs and
innovators) and genuinely want to do more than mere talk.
I’m not blaming anyone. It’s a
systemic predicament, and it looks like it’s here to stay, because the people
we trust to effect change are relying on the same dysfunctional system. You
know what they say: 'standard procedures create standard people' who can only
do the things they’re told to do.
This is why when you go ah
Portland, make some dough, come back ayard to invest, you go to a typical
office and say you need approval to start something, you’re caused to undergo a
twenty-ten-hour grease-every-palm-you-meet office-to-office trek, before you
can finally see the APSDADRA (Acting Principal Senior Deputy Assistant Director
Responsible for Approvals - that’s how pompous the nomenclatures are), and a
signature as ugly as a right-handed person’s left-handed drawing.
