This three-part installment discusses topical issues that the President and his team must address during the first 100 days. After the general election that saw the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) returned to power, it is time to deliver. We, thus, propose an economic charter during the next 100 days.
Why the first 100 days? Notably, political Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) are normally assessed after 100 days. The 100-day concept dates back to 1933 when then US president Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), first took office. In the wake of problems experienced during the Hover administration; particularly the 1929 stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, American citizens demanded decisive measures to fix the economy. Thus over 100 days, a number of interventions were made, notably the first New Deal.
Given that President Ian Khama was inaugurated on 19 October, we calculate the 100th day will be 27 February 2010. Thus, á la Tupac Shakur’s song Letter to the President (1999), this three-part installment discusses economic issues that it feels must be hastily placed on the national radar during the next 100 days. Admittedly, this is an arduous task given the numerous issues that will vie for the attention of the CEO. Thus, there is a plethora of issues that, in our humble estimation, are firsts; e.g., economic diversification, citizen economic empowerment, competition law and gender budgeting.
