One of the key pillars of sustainable growth is not just inclusivity, but one based on information that enables the appreciation of interconnectedness and relatability of various development strands and the decisions we make.
Problems that, from political standpoints, seem easier to solve have proven difficult as a result of our collective failure to realise the lack of deeper understanding by the same politicians we rely on for answers.
We, as a result, normalise bad behaviour while rewarding failure with a chance to represent us, but ironically expect robust leadership that espouses responsibility and good stewardship.
A citizenry armed with knowledge and having a clear vision would never allow idlers who mark their time in politics to mess their lives by whipping emotions devoid of action.
The politics of "I will do this, I will do away with this", without context to how we ended there and how best to achieve the new goals, only results in one thing: they collapse our minds into believing that there are easy options to solving systemic rot.
It's a conditioning that politicians exploit to keep the gullible citizens susceptible to manipulation. They incidentally find expression in the corridors of justice. Today, there are no wrong things that cannot find ammunition in our courts of law.
They have made governing not only an expensive affair but also operationally chaotic, if not confusing.
The right information, therefore, remains a key imperative in achieving our aspired growth as it arms the citizens with the necessary ability to scan the truth from lies, especially in this age of AI and its attendant deepfakes.
