APNU moots ‘Social Contract’ for national unity

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) yesterday proposed a new ‘social contract’ in order to promote national unity and foster economic development.

In a statement, APNU said that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic administration has shown that it is incapable of solving the country’s current woes on its own.  It called on the PPP/C to seriously re-examine the prospects for the future relationship between citizens and the state as a means of  tackling the country’s pressing political, economic and social problems.
