FOR a political coalition that came into office in mid-2018 most unexpectedly and was thus somewhat unprepared, the present government has done impeccably well in achieving effective control of the governance system in our country.

This demonstrates the implicit trust in an inherently sound system in which most government servants were relatively untainted by the excesses of some of their senior officials.
