[ said]: On the other hand, departments have already formulated strategic plans for the rest of the term, which have serious long-term implications for the country. This further complicates the planning function of the commission,

mg 17-AUG-12

[ said]: These commitments were not met and most distressed firms laid off workers rather than access the distressed sectors' fund of the Industrial Development Corporation. Even the presidential assessment of progress regarding the implementation of the framework response to the crisis has not produced any tangible results,

mg 17-AUG-12

[-said]: The problems in the relationship between the commission and the department are symptomatic of a bigger political problem. The working class has to take a step back and ask the question: What is the balance of class forces in the new structure of the state bureaucracy?
