Political, Social and Economic Plan
Our country has the potential of becoming one of the most important nations of the world since it has all the resources that few others have been blessed with. We have countless mineral reserves, a rich soil and a supportive climate that makes it ideal for agriculture.
Most of all, we have a young and talented population that is a priceless resource. In order to transform this undoubted potential into a concrete reality, however, we need to adopt the right policies. We are passing through a critical phase of not just our own history but also the history of the entire mankind in which we have the choice of either seizing the moment or missing the opportunity. The 'opportunity' is offered by the unprecedented technological developments in communication technologies and the lowering of trade barriers around the world.

I suggest the immediate setting up of an independent and empowered 'accountability' bureau. Its brief would be to carry out a most ruthless accountability of those who have corrupted the system as opposed to those who have been corrupted by the system. (Khan, 1999) There are people in this country who have been in power and made fortunes by misusing these powers. These are the people who need to be brought to task rather than, for example, those who had to pay bribes to get things done in a corrupt system or in order to feed their families due to a grossly inadequate pay structures. As a first step I place all my personal and my family's assets open for public scrutiny, and expect that others in position of power would follow suit.
