Nicaragua Puts Poverty
First
The "Etica y
Transparencia"
organization recognized
Tuesday the Nicaraguan
government's priority in
the budget to favor the
poorest and most
marginalized sectors of
the country.
The organization's
executive director
Roberto Courtney, in his
report on President
Daniel Ortega's first
year of government,
mentioned this result as
well as the return to
free education and
public health.
The entity also
recognized the
government's effort to
improve food security in
the most needed
population sectors.
Nevertyheless, the group
said that the country
closed 2007 with
insufficient economic
growth to satisfy the
creation of new jobs and
face inflation, above
all in the food sector,
among other aspects.
It also stated that
energy measures were not
enough to solve the
problem. |
