The administration of Dr Patrick Herminie has marked its first 100 days in office, highlighting reforms aimed at governance, economic relief and social development.
In a statement issued on Tuesday 3 February, the president said his government entered into a social contract with the nation based on accountability, integrity and shared progress.
He said early efforts focused on strengthening democratic institutions, improving transparency and rebuilding public trust.
According to the statement, reforms have prioritised the protection of fundamental freedoms and the rule of law. Independent reviews have been launched in areas of national concern. Measures to strengthen accountability and reduce administrative interference across institutions are now under way.
The administration also reported steps to ease economic pressure on households. These include the reinstatement of essential benefits, changes to retirement policies and renewed social support programmes. Efforts to strengthen poverty alleviation mechanisms have also begun.
Progress was also cited in public health, education, culture, tourism and youth empowerment. New agencies and councils have been established to address gaps, modernise key sectors and support inclusive development.
The president said some initiatives have already been completed, while others are at different stages of implementation. He reaffirmed his commitment to the broader social contract with the public.
“As I have said since the beginning, ‘Trust the Process’,” he said.
The administration said the next phase will focus on continuing reforms aimed at building a fairer, more resilient and more unified nation.
