Let alone giving the country the much-needed impetus, compass, and direction as to how the downward spiral on which the country is heading can in the least be halted, even if only for now.

Before work can start in earnest in reversing the downward spiral and eventually putting the country on the correct path towards meaningful socio-economic progress. But what is, and could, meaningful socio-economic progress mean?

That is the big, if not bigger, question the country has been shying away from and continues to shy away from. Because it is assumed it is enough for the country to be seen to be creating the necessary conducive environment for investments and growth, believing that with the attainment of growth via the requisite and/or desired investments, whatever the desired investments may be and however such could be measured, the country shall automatically progress towards socio-economic prosperity. Once again, whatever this may mean.
