I was impressed to learn that the government was coming out with a new employment policy. Half a million jobs were to be created and many good things were to happen. Of course, when I tried to get my hands on the policy document, I couldn't find it. Is it too much to ask that when our government announces a major policy, the public ought to know what is being proposed? Shouldn't we have easy access to such important documents? Of course, the government's website is in disarray and even the vaunted Google was unable to locate this document.
Newspaper accounts indicate that the young Chief Minister was exhorting the youth of the state to look for jobs in the private sector. That is a worthy message...but the new employment policy is about creating more jobs in the public sector. They've got to be kidding! Reducing the demand for government jobs by creating new government jobs...that is sound public policy. Not.
Until next time...
