This development plan can be twerked by successive governments, but must maintain a priority investments programme that is not altered, over an agreed period of say 10, 15, 20 or even 40 years”.

The country has experienced some cases where projects implemented by successive governments have been abandoned, whiles new ones have been pursued.
