Minister of Trade and Industry Against Budget of November 3785?

Image
Minister Ah Cho at the rally for a better Sekowo

(News Person): Mr. Tsubasa, I heard that the Ministry of Trade and Industry is not liking the Budget Proposal of November 3785, written under President Li Chika after her Presidential Address. May I ask how it affected the Ministry in whole?

(Ah Cho): Thank you for the question. I will answer this truthfully. Being the Minister of the Trade and Industry, I noticed a lot of wrong doing. Now, you can say thats pretty bad since I got into position in April 3789. What I know is that the last Minister used the funds for his own personal use since there haven't been any new industries or re-establishments of any sort in the last 5 years from 3785. To add on that note, Trade and Industry cannot, and I repeat, cannot run on a low budget of what we have at the current moment, which is 10 Billion SEK when there is so much that has to be paid for. So to speak, yesterday I sat down with my Ministry Heads, and come to find out that the Ministry is in debt of 100 Billion SEK. We dug deeper and deeper and realized that all the money that was supposed to be there was gone, all 400 Billion SEK of it. Thats a little suspicious to me. Digging a little more deeper, the last Minister and President was in a Ministry Scheme. They were stealing money from the Ministry's Treasury, and we didn't have enough SEK to pay for the new industries and highways, etc. in the given year of 3785. We currently have the FBI investigating every Ministry at the current moment because this could have been going on in all the Ministries. So, as of now, we have to postpone any projects we had planned for the next 5-10 years. Thats really bad since we were going to get some oil rigs in the Voronan waters, which could really boost our economy by 15-25%. Thats all.

(News Person): Thank you for your answer. We sure do hope the situation is resolved and the Kokkai will hopefully debate of a new Budget in the following years. Now, back to you in the studio.

Radical Republican Party Leader Defends Previous Minister and President

Party Leader Ariel Placide Manami Francis of the Radical Republicans

A little while after the talk with Minister Ah Cho, the Party's Chairman goes to the rally to defend previous leaders, President Li and Minister of Trade and Industry.

(Chairman Francis): Ladies and Gentlemen at the rally. I am the Chairman of the Radical Republicans. A few minutes ago, Minister Cho talked about an issue with the Budget of November 3785. In his statement, he said that the previous President and Minister of Trade and Industry were stealing money from the Ministry's Treasury. Well, that is a false statement. They did not steal the money. The money that was given to them was voted upon by the Ministry's Heads and a few others. I would know since I was in the room to witness the voting...

(Minister Cho): That was only twice there was a vote, am I correct.

(Francis): Yes you are correct.

(Cho): Well, in my report, there was more than two transactions to their accounts. To be exact, there were five transactions to each account.

(Francis): In the matter of since, it was probably a mishap of some sort. We'll have the FBI figure that one out. But I do not think they would steal since they're being paid from the Nation's Treasury and the Minister is being paid by the Ministry's Treasury.

(Cho) Yes, that is true, but the Minister only gets paid twice a month, on the 5th and the 20th. These transactions shows the 13th, 23rd, and the 28th. How is that possible? There is only one possible answer to that and that is the President and the Minister were stealing money, not only once from one month, but every other month for the last 5 years.

(Francis) Minister Cho, I like the observation. We shall have a talk in private with the two women. Thank you!

With that, they ended their little debate.

People Revolt At The High Government Spending

People in the Captial Nago, Hokuzan 5th of March 3797

Not even a month ago, people around Sekowo heard about the new government spending bill, which was passed two weeks ago. My resources say that the government is spending over 1 Trillion SEK a month putting us in a national debt that will take years to recover from.

I spoke to one person in the strike. He says: "We are not striking because of the spending. We are striking because with this huge spending, they will increase our taxes ten fold. Taxes are high enough. The poor is paying more than needes to and the middle class is barely making it each month. This needs to change or we'lol have them out of office in a hurry. "

I was just notified by the studio that the President is going to speak outside the Capitol Building in front of the strikers. We turn it to you live right now.

President Kyou Addressing the Strikers Over the Spending Bill

(President Kyou approaches the podium, then begins)

Citizens of Sekowo, it seems to me that you and the government are not on best of terms. (*people shouting*)(*people quieting down*). Yes I know you are very upset with me right now and it's ok. It was me who wanted this spending bill. Let me tell you why. My Ministry Heads were getting on me for the debt that was caused by the previous Ministers. I had to increase spending. It was the only way to get rid of the debt than increasing the taxes because we paid it off from the money in the national treasury. You all think that the Kokkai will raise the taxes, but I assure you that hat will not happen for this year. That will happen next year, but expect bigger income this year, say 30% more income. That should get you through this year and next year. Look, do not be mad at me, the Cabinet, our the 185th Kokkai. This is not of great stature and it will not be tolerated. If there is more strikes like this, there will be military personnel in every city, and state. Thank you, I'm done.

Seizing Control Over Oil Rigs in Deltaria Nova

Image
Oil Rigs in Deltaria Nova's water now under reconstruction and Sekowan control

The Kokkai has declared control over the Deltaria Nova's oil rigs, once known as Vorona. In brief history, the oil rigs use to belong to Zardugal, but they soon lost control during the Voronan-Zardugal War. The President of Vorona during that time, ordered the destruction to the oil rigs, which was done in the following months. Up to no us at all, Sekowo seen an opportunity to take control for economical use. Mr Da, a member of the Kokkai and the one who proposed the bill, said that doing this wi insure our export of oil to rise 25% in the next 5 years. He also stated that the Ministry of Trade and Industry will be in charge of the oil rigs and its employees, which the employees will have housing there. The reconstruction of the oil rigs will not completed until July 3800. Until then, we hope and that we will be seeing a better industry and infrastructure in the following years.

Economic Growth!

Image
Show in the growth of the Sekowan Economy

Recent studies show that Sekowo has increased its economy by 30%. This haven't been achieved in the last 25 years, the beginning of the Radical Republican Party.

Under former President Crewe McKinnon, the economy was a complete mess. It took him two years to get the economy at a stable point between 5-10%. This shows that Sekowo started in a bad state.

Later, under former President Hillary Don, the economy didn't change at all.

Under the leadership of former President Li Rio Jin Chika, the economy dropped tremendously. After spending most of the nation's money on the military, we as a nation wasn't making any money in the Stock Market, etc. so the Kokkai taxed the people heavily. Statistics shows that the economy of Sekowo was in the -10% and getting lower every -0.5% by the day. Ending her term, the nations' economy was below -50%.

In the current leadership of Kyou Aristarchus, he has worked long and hard to bring the economy up by creating a better tourism country, increased export of oil, decreased foreign import and increased the domestic export of other natural resources, goods, etc. he has only made one appearance, so that tells the nation that he is very busy in caring for their needs. In his first term, he has risen the economy 60%. It is now stable at a good 32.6% and is steadily rising 0.05% every hour! Also, during his term, he cut the Internal Affairs budget and decreased the Defence budget by -50 Billion SEK. We are still waiting to see what else he has up his sleeves.

Knowing that the economy is stable, who will the people choose next as their President when President Kyou is out of office? The Party should choose wisely before the people choose for them.

President Kyou Speaks of the Damagedand Rogue Governments in Terra

Image
President Kyou addresses the world in an issue about the rogue government systems

People, Government, Nations of Terra,

The People, the government, of Sekowo reaches out to you. We are not in need of anything serious. We are not in need of anything dealing with money. We are, however, in need of a voice. A voice to reach out the the rogue nations, rogue governments, of this here world.

As you a know, nations have been killing their own, but are worrying about other nations. Nations have problem in their own land, but fear to face them. You must take the dust out of your own eye before you worry about someone else eye.

I am a peaceful President with my peaceful Sessei and Kokkai. We have not used weaponry since being under my leadership. We have not showed a sign of weakness though. Right now, Sekowo is on an uprise in the economy through tourism, increased exports, and decreased imports. I didn't come to you to boast about my accomplishments. I came on behalf of the people of the world who are being abused by the government.

Zardugal has been targeting its citizens for a while now. That's not the only country to have done that. We have more countries that has done that, but what's worse than them are the countries who support their actions. You know that it's wrong, but you don't want them to know because you are either weak in power, or weak In the mind. Time is running out. The people are losing a voice at this very moment and as a world, we can do something about it. I propose to you all, an act, an act of encouragement and protection. I challenge the government of every nation that oppose this actions to stand up for the people. I ask that you help protect these people. I ask that you tear down the rogue parties and leaders of these countries. Until that day, we will hear the cry of all the people. We will hear the sound of war. We will hear every man and woman, boy and girl, being beaten by the government's dogs. If you want to stand, I ask that you do. This is what we are made to do.

President of Sekowo

Now, after the reconstruction of the new oil rigs in Deltaria Nova, the export increased to 73 million gallons a month and it's steadily increasing. Minister Ah Cho of the Ministry of Trade and Industry says that oil exports will continue to rise due to all the oil rigs and refineries being built in and out of Sekowo.

People of Sekowo, and other nations of Dovani, we come to a point in time to protect ourselves. As the tensions in the West in the nation of Zardugal and others increase, we must increase our security. We go by, day to day, knowing what is happening, but don't do anything about it, or we just sit back and wait for it to pass. The tensions of those countries will grow stronger due to the idiotic and ridiculous leaders of those nations. Sekowo is taking a stand on the ignorance. The military is taking a stand. As of now, Sekowo's borders are sweeping with military. The airwaves and the sea are being protected by the Air Force and Navy. The Ministries of Sekowo is working together to make sure the people inside the country is safe. What will you do Dovani?
