Moving forward

One of the most popular expressions used by politicians is ‘moving the country forward.’ It seldom means anything, but yesterday there was another step in the right direction with the signing of the contract for the construction of the new hospital with the Italian developer Inso.

This project seems to have passed the point of no return and rather than making attempts to frustrate the progress of this project politicians should now stand back and let the construction begin without creating any unnecessary stumbling blocks – before or after the elections.

After all, the people in our community have been waiting already long enough for this to happen. Throwing any spanner in the works at this stage would only serve political purposes. Such purposes have never cured anybody.
