Boko slams �populist� policies

The Leader of Opposition, Duma Boko has slammed government’s “populist policies,” which he said have failed to impact on the poorest in society, as they lacked effective monitory mechanisms.

Boko cited the Vision 2016, poverty eradication framework and the Integrated Support Programme for Arable Agricultural Development (ISPAAD) as some of the heavily financed, populist, but weakly monitored policies.
