    "content": "After many challenges and politicking in the country, eventually the Grand Coalition Government steered the national objective of attaining a new constitutional order to success. Madam Deputy Speaker, there was also the question of Vision 2030. The Vision came about during the NARC Government and partly during the Grand Coalition Government. I am mentioning this important declaration policy statements because in his speech yesterday, the President made reference to Vision 2030 and our new constitutional dispensation. It is, therefore, important in the life of a nation, that policies are established to guide the Government of the day and generally the people of the country in trying to make political and economic progress. In his speech, the President also made reference to what has happened, particularly in the Far East. We like talking about the Asian Tigers and the success of South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and many others. In this list of Asian Tigers, you find countries like Vietnam which endured a long period of war, now rising and becoming a reference point in that part of the world. Madam Deputy Speaker, if we can have Asian Tigers, why can we not have “African Lions”? It looks like whenever we talk about new and emerging industrial and economic power houses and democracies; we are talking about the Asian Tigers. Africa does not seem to feature very well by comparison."
