THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE'S OPPOSITION (PT 1)

               Everyone is trying to keep up with the fluctuations in our economy. We are all trying to gain our balance and market values with the change of government we face presently. We need to find solutions to this economic meltdown before it melts out our existence and sadly I am just an individual with no political experience.
              Achieving economic stability has become a motivation for some of us to rebrand ourselves for a better value of our services while some of us are still absorbed trying to trace the source of our socioeconomic disequilibrium which has led to a lot of political and physical assault on the opposition and person to blame.
             Identifying the source of the present economic destabilisation has resulted in opposing effects on the masses. The knowledge of the cause has been a guide for government intervention and this knowledge has also fueled unending blame cycle rather than action in some regions leading to further deterioration of the economy.
                                  It is not unusual for government to announce the state of economy they take over from and briefing the masses about how changes will be achieved. The unusual thing is that the government blame all the failures/stagnancy of the economy on the preceding government without executing any action to correct it. This blame cycle is even worse when the preceding government is from an opposing political party but the interesting thing about this blame cycle is that we operate an open political system and political aspirants can move freely in between different political parties without restrictions. This freedom of association in political parties and interest only leads to rebranding of corrupt leaders as they wreck the economy under the preceding party and move to the new party masquerading as saints who may surprisingly even criticise the administration of the past government.
                 
 Blame leads us nowhere but more destruction because time we should indulge in strategising and implementing plans/solutions to the problems we face, we consume it dwelling on the past. When we identify a problem in the administration and distribution of resources & basic amenities to the masses, we need to trace the cause of the alteration in the flow of resources and provide solutions to counter this deficit. If our economy is not productive because of transportation issues, then we should be working towards construction of roads. Militants are taking over our seaports, we need to reach an agreement on how to cleanse their polluted lands, create job opportunities, assist them with funds and skill acquisition to start up their career.
                    The whole situation can be summed up into don't cry over spilled milk. Blames can be modified to rebuild our economy if we utilise it appropriately. When we identify a problem in any sector of our economy whether education, finance, agriculture amongst others, we can't just take shallow actions without identifying it's origin and how to prevent future occurrences. We would need to identify if it was mismanagement of the administrative agencies, funds & resources. Those engaged in this mismanagement should be made to account for all the resources allocated while we simultaneously strategize and Implement plans to solve the problem.
                  These blame of the deficit in infrastructural and resource allocation/utilisation should be made known to the public because the government should be a government of the people after all and the masses may have practical ideas and suggestions that could solve the issue being addressed.
