Dr. Minnis urged, did not demand. They have not given it so tell us what you think it should say and explain to us why, why we should be following your line of thinking.

We must resist NHI with as much resistance as possible until the government fixes the PHA 's accountability so that it becomes efficient before nhi is introduced.

In the US and the UK the banks took large losses for the bad loans that they made. Today the banks have changed their policy evidencing that they realised that they had a problem, not the consumer. The Central Bank should, indeed it is their duty, to step in and say to the banks that the banks can't make the consumer pay for the banks mistakes.

None of the above can be done in "short order".
