I’d rather have no plan and no implementation than to throw away billions!! We must learn to READ, draw on best practices, draw on other people’s experience to get things right and sustainable. Not at all costs!

But we forget that promises must be kept. Time is ticking and 100 days is such a short time. Jubilee must work at a plan somehow.

This project is fraught with too many challenges and the jubilee admin should not proceed as if its survival and life depends on it. A radical decision needs to be made otherwise it will turn out to be its greatest undoing, and a political weapon.

There is urgent need for a reality check. If it was left to me, I would bury it overnight. Damn the political consequences. Reason must prevail over populism and sentimentalism. How many more urgent neeeds are there to fix our primary education - frm teachers to classrooms and basic things before you climb up the technology ladder? Elementary things first. Let's equip all secondary schools with computer labs before we escalate that to primary schools in the next phase (5yrs down the road)
