Instability in governance II
How can we expect a government, itself already disorganized, try to coordinate the economic, social and institutional sustainability for the rest of Guatemalans? It is an undeniable fact, that we are living under a period of governmental instability and therefore a period of generalized instability in our country's governance. To the list of changes published in our first article ( Guatemala's Political and Governmental Instability) we add the retirement of Deputy Minister of Small and Medium Enterprise, Jorge Castro and the rumour of the departure of Raul Robles, from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. If the situation continues as irregular, who knows what names will be included in next week's list.
As mentioned on Wednesday's article, part of the solution is to strengthen the rule of law on any politician, promote a culture of administrative transparency and better management of state resources. This is accomplished by having, for a small country like Guatemala, a small, dispersed and decentralized government, that secures legal enforcement on domestic and international investment, aids the growth of our small and medium enterprises and creates a better climate for sustainable development.
What politicians and public servants will subject themselves to the law that they have helped establish? Who will Permit that their work be verified systematically and by doing so, reach political transparency. Who will empower people to observe the governments performance. Something that is in fact established by Guatemalan law? Who will bear the political costs?
We need a new generation of politicians, people who believe and view market economy as an engine for sustainable development. Men and women that envision a healthy and transparent form of governance that ensures the smooth path and growth of our businesses. We hope for a future that will permit public functionaries to become responsible politicians, a system that keeps them safe from the corrosive powers that block the clean and efficient accomplishment of their duties. It sounds, like the all too familiar libertarian utopia that has been promoted by some. All the same, it is imperative that we Guatemalans, engage our civil rights and voice a strong, unified and urgent commitment with positive, productive change.
