Twenty three years of NRM government.
The
purpose of economic growth is to improve human quality of all individuals in a
country through adequate nutrition, functional education, adequate healthcare
including hygiene, safe water and sanitation, shelter and clothing. Economic
growth should also take place in such a manner that the environment is sustainable.
The
reports we receive are about rosy statistics on economic growth, not on income
distribution between classes and regions; export earnings, not on how they have
undermined domestic food consumption; tax collection, not on how the revenue
has impacted human condition; inflation control, not on how it has undermined
investment and job creation through high interest rates; on poverty reduction
without elaborating on the methodology used (S. Mallaby, 2004).
