May 15 Social Responsibility of Government!

Does a government by default need to be thinking about its social responsibility?

Does a government have a social responsibility outside of i ts boarders?

Tonight we talk about government and social responsibility!

Social responsibility means developing and implementing strong frameworks and regulations that outline specific compliance mechanisms and a coherent set of rewards and penalties...

So do we want more or less state intervention?

Part of the problem is who will foot the bill for government social responsibility? And why, in the case of the UAE would we expect any social responsibility when residents do not pay into the government via taxes which tend to fund socially responsible activities such as health care, education ...

Another problem with social responsibility on the part of the government is the total lack of any sense of urgency!

So why shouldn't the government offload its responsibility to the private sector?

Call it concessions, call it what you like business tends to do it better and there is no place for the state in business SO let them to it and simply ensure the rule are adhered to.

Social responsibility on the part of the government comes down to your perspective!

We will see.
