    We should keep in having 1. excellent plans like GTP; 2. energetic visionary, purpose full and diligence leaders who can also fight against corruption; 3. good governance – which is very critical in motivating each and every citizen. This will also help us to protect our fruits of deadly efforts from those who are just against of the good will of our people and country.
    Transparent government services to all and each citizen will move us forward much more than we achieved before and we all the citizen shall keep working hard, challenge our government with important and well organized questions and as well as support the government all its development efforts. These will help our generation to make his own history.

    God will help us and I will keep doing my best.
