KEYS SPEAKS TO THE NATION IN LIVE SPEECH
“My fellow Alorians as my first term comes to just a little over a year left I wanted to speak to you all tonight on our progress so far on the agenda I put forward to you the people. Firstly I promised to fight public corruption like I did in Gavonshire as Governor, when elected the national public corruption rate stood at 38% but, possibility of higher was a chance. After securing more funding to the Internal Affairs department and with the oversight of the taskforce I created the Justice Ministry has arrested, prosecuted, and convicted so far twenty-three former government officials, including former President Cynthia Woods who did a great treasons act to take money from our nation. I am proud to say we have aggressively took on corrupt officials and they are running scared, a recent report shows the level at 28% and continue to drop as investigations to continue to mount.
Healthcare costs have been increasing over the years despite some medical breakthroughs however those were not directed mainly at reducing overall costs. Recently we have made a remarkable breakthrough leading us to make many common drugs in much more effective manner and reducing the overhead by half almost. We do not give up on here, recent cuts in regulations have led to a 30 percent increase of medical research coordinate between government and private sector. As such we are able to reduce the Health ministry spending in result of changing polices that will better increase our quality and affordability of health care.
While we have made many accomplishments to a reduction in our normal sales tax, and a reform in the budget and soon hopefully income tax cuts. We do have major problems that are currently happening in our nation. While our economy has been growing and is not doing bad, our tourism industry has taken a hit dropping 13 percent from last year, a big decline compared to the previous year’s 3 percent drop. In a new proposed budget I am proposing an additional 500 million to help our tourism industry to rebound and stabilize before this turns into a crisis. Also our Justice Minister has regrettably informed us that our crime rate has soared in some areas. This rise in violence has been noted in several new street gang across Aloria that are gripping the streets. With their request I have proposed an additional funding package for the Justice Ministry to help deal with the backlog of prosecution and to hire more officers for local police governments in the high-crime areas across all of our states including my old home Gavonshire.
In ending I am honored to announce my intention to seek a second term of my Presidency so we may continue what we have started, stop these current issues from becoming crisis, and to move further to creating a new Aloria, for all Alorians. I hope to receive the support of many and form a broad coalition across the political spectrum committed to something bigger than just ourselves, the future of our children and theirs, and this great nation!!! LONG LIVE ALORIA!”
-President Julie Keys
