Government needs to do more: Mr Batley

Special Coordinator of RAMSI, James Batley has said getting the economy moving and mobilising the participation of the population remains a key issue for government.

Mr Batley said anything less would create more problems in the future as people have expectations they want fulfilled in a given time.

Speaking to the media last week Mr Batley said the areas where RAMSI had been working in the last three years remain very important.

"We know that there has been a lot of progress, but at the same time we have to be honest, there is still a lot of challenges ahead. Economic challenges, challenges of restoring accountability in the system and rebuilding court institutions, government the police and so on.

Mr Batley says all those things remain important to RAMSI, the work in the police, the prison and the courts, re-enforcing government finances, economic reforms and re-building of the government machinery.
