Country First *** Vision

1. Rule of Law
Rule of law through good governance, good laws and good people.
2. Electoral Reforms for Fair Electoral Processes
a) Right to Elect must be accompanied with the Right to Reject.
b) Empowerment of citizens through development of value-based leadership.
3. Accountability and Judicial Reforms
a) Independent investigation and speedy justice.
b) Witness protection plan-
- Why do witnesses turn hostile ?
- Why are contempt proceedings not possible against hostile witnesses for obstructing justice ?
Today, money and muscle play an important role. Hence, such a plan becomes imperative to bring justice to the honest citizen.
Delay often becomes a tool to either buy or destroy the evidence.
4. Awareness of Electoral errors*
a) Pre-polling surveys showed over 40% errors in cities.
b) Post-polling surveys in cities indicate that about 22% of those who are listed as having voted, did not actually participate in polling.
c) State-wide survey results showed about 16% errors in electoral rolls (commissions and omissions)
