Now That The Campaign Is Here, IV. Please Enrich Your Promises With The Hows… I Will And I Shall, Will Not Suffice Any Longer.

WEEK FOUR (10th September - 16th September). It was a largely busy week, heavy on issues bothering on the Cost of living and the economy. The debate is increasingly framed around food prices, transport costs, electricity, employment, purchasing power and household affordability. After all the reason governments exist is to better the lot of the people.
