Becoming a Country with many Deputy Prime Ministers

I think having more deputy Prime Ministers is crucial especially at a time the country has been executing a number of complex projects that would determine its fate at least in the next decades. 

Earlier we learned the late Premier Meles was burdened with multiple responsibilities and partly it was to blame for his poor health in his last few years.

The news, therefore, is a blessing as it goes to sharing responsibilities across the board. One thing it helps deliver quality leadership and make close follow up as the sectors are to be clustered in three leaving those designated to the direct oversight of the premier. 

The premier focuses on defense, macro economy, foreign affairs and the likes leaving the other sectors to be taken care of by his deputies.

Two, such collective leadership and delegation brings in much needed expertise from different corners as it involves many to take part in the leadership. Besides the Premier is no longer to be buried with overwhelming duties that would have a bearing on quality and health of his leadership .

I believe it also gives the leadership balance, and sectors get frequent support and feedback on their performances.It also makes follow-up and prompt correction far effective than it has ever been in this administration.

Countries like China do have four deputy prime ministers to whom various sectors are assigned for their close leadership. I personally believe the Chinese ascendance as a global economic and military powerhouse over the last decades is partly down to such collective leadership.

I don't mean because we have three deputies we are gonna be richer and better than we are now. But with more quality delegation, it is possible to refocus, organize and execute plans better than it used to be. 

So if the leadership at the helm goes for what is best and commit itself to do what it takes, the number of the deputies will really matter in how our country be governed.

My hope is with such dimension, the good governance concerns the public raises will be dealt with at a rather good speed and sense. 

Now for me it is time to help the leadership walk the talk and get done the plans it sets out to make Ethiopia  join the league of Middle-income economies. I hope this will happen with cooperation and willingness to do a little more than we did.

So long guys!//
