Special Report Transcript Episode 20, Section 3, Time 15:26

I’d like to emphasise that we’ll always listen and try as much as possible to meet the needs of the people. But what we are going to do is to translate those needs in a way that’s going to be viable for the government and in a way that’s going to help the national healing of the communities. Also, translate it in such a way that they have a lasting impact to the individual and the communities. To give an example, the easiest way, if the government had all the money on earth would have been to dish hand outs to all the people. But when the hand outs are finished people could be back to the same situation. You would not have helped to empower the people and also to create a level of independence.
