Irrespective of winner in the upcoming elections,
part of a successful strategy for any Kurdish
political party to guarantee public satisfaction,
continued governance and recurring re-election in
future, would be centering attention on
reconstruction and infrastructure of the homeland,
especially in the most distant and underdeveloped
parts in Kurdistan.
Every village, town and city in Kurdistan deserves
some degree of attention. It is the right of Kurdish
citizens to have access to at least a single
hospital, a college, a basic library and a park in
their jurisdiction. Provision of such very
fundamental public needs and welfare are both
low-cost and a vital matter for the overall
propagation. Besides, Kurdistan is covered by
greenery and brimming with flora and fauna. With a
modicum of asset, it can be more modernized and
transformed into a more eye-catching global tourist
center, drawing tens of thousands of more foreign
visitors.
Establishing more medical, educational, recreational
centers is a good initiation for any
political/religious faction. It has well been
corroborated in some countries where some groups
initially started by providing charity, education
and health services. Later, it led to their rise to
power.
Fortunately or unfortunately, only major urban
places such as Hawler (Erbil), Duhok and
Sulaimaniyah have flourished, hence culminating in
public criticism for lack of interest on behalf of
KRG in rebuilding other regions in Kurdistan .
To achieve this goal, individual, collective and
government participation and collaboration is
required. Here I will briefly shed light upon each
function and their respective scope of
responsibilities:
KRG Role: KRG can play the most leading role in this
respect by allocating funds from the 17% national
budget received from the central government. Funds
need to be distributed based on population, not
bipartisan affiliation or interest.
Collective Role: A case of collective role can be
Non-governmental organizations (NGO) that are mostly
nonprofit and nonpartisan. With their impartiality,
they can assume the burden of managing the allocated
finances by KRG and monitor and ensure the quality
of performance and detailed accountability. NGO’s
can play an important role in tribal welfare and
rural development,www.ekurd.netin
education and public awareness. There are places and
communities where KRG has failed to reach. NGO’s can
intervene and assist KRG in facilitating and
expediting the execution of ideas.
Individual Role: Private financial contribution is a
very strong drive in every aspect. By donating and
offering aid from abroad, the dimension of KRG’s
budget can strengthen. Decades after the creation of
nations such as Israel and India , well-read and
well-off Jewish and Indian businessmen in the United
States and in exile continue to offer intellectual
and monterey contributions to their countries. KRG
can open up an account for this purpose and announce
it in media outlets.
In following elections in Kurdistan , public have
more expectations and before they cast their ballot,
they will put into consideration the achievements
and accomplishments by every nominating group.
Baqi Barzani is a
Kurdish citizen of Sought Kurdistan [Iraq]. He
advocates the notion of " establishing an
independent Kurdish state". He contributes to
various Kurdish media outlets, especially ekurd.net.
