Ideally that would be preferable to prone transparency. However, if it
is not happening at the moment, I will not put energy into that for the
simple reason that there are other matters that require the energy. As I
mentioned in a previous email, we'll reach for "transparency" slowly but
surely with the coming of a "right to information". Should I put my
energy into doing the education for members right now? I do not think so.
I will spend time & energy within my capacity when issues are shared
with me and I shall properly raise those for discussion within the
Council. I cannot speak for the Joint Economic Council or any other
institution. If I do not know how an institution operate and their
purpose of existence, it will be reckless for me to comment.
I prefer to address issues within my capacity as a member of the Council
representing "consumers". The Council is not an "authority" but a body
that advises the Minister. Whether to adopt or reject an advisory by the
Council remains at the discretion of the Minister.
Cheers,
