He stated that the first decisive steps have been successfully implemented but stressed that the economic liberation of the NCAs is still a far cry from being dealt with but stated it was possible to do so.

Furthermore he discouraged the tendency of budgeting a three year project within one financial year as this practice distorted the government budgeting system causing unnecessary and expensive borrowing by the state.
