የቀድሞ የአሜሪካ ፕሬዚዳንት የነበሩት ጆን ኦፍ ኬኔዲ ባንድ ወቅት እንዲህ ብለው ነበር፡፡ ‹‹መጠየቅ ያለብህ አገሬ ለእኔ ምን ሠራችልኝ ብለህ ሳይሆን እኔ ለአገሬ ምን ላደርግ እችላለሁ ብለህ መሆን አለበት፡፡›› ይህ የፕሬዚዳንቱ ንግግር በመላው ዓለማችን በበርካቶች የሚታወቅና ጥልቅ መልዕክት የያዘ ነው፡፡ ዛሬ የፕሬዚዳንት ኬኔዲን ንግግር ያነሳነው ስለእሳቸው ለማውራት ሳይሆን፣ ከዚህ ታዋቂ ንግግራቸው ጀርባ ያለውን ቁም ነገር ለመዳሰስ በማሰብ ነው፡፡ በርካቶች በሕይወት ዘመናቸው እንዲኖሩዋቸው ከሚፈልጉዋቸው ነገሮች መካከል አንደኛው ሥልጣን ነው፡፡ ሆኖም ግን በርካታ ሰዎች ሥልጣንን የሚፈልጉት በሥልጣን ውስጥ ያሉ ጥቅሞችን ለማግኘት ካላቸው ክፉኛ መሻት ነው እንጂ፣ በእውነት ሥልጣንን በሚገባ ተረድተውት ነው ለማለት ያስቸግራል፡፡ ምንም እንኳን ሥልጣን ይዞ የሚያመጣቸው በርካታ ጥቅሞች ቢኖሩትም፣ ዋነኛ ዓላማው ከዚያ የዘለለ ነው፡፡  ሥልጣን አንድን ነገር ለመግዛት የሚያገለግል ኃይል ቢሆንም፣ ትክክለኛው ትርጓሜው ግን ተገቢ የሆነ ተፅዕኖን በማሳደር ነገሮችን በሥርዓት ለማስጓዝ የሚጠቅም ዘዴ ነው፡፡ ታዲያ ዛሬ የምናነሳው ጉዳይ በአገራችን በርካቶች ሥልጣንን የሚጠቀሙት ከምን አንፃር መሆኑን ለመፈተሽ ነው፡፡ በርካቶች የሥልጣንን ትክክለኛ ትርጓሜ ካለማወቅ የተነሳ በአገር እንዲሁም በሕዝብ ላይ ከፍተኛ ጉዳት እያደረሱ ነው፡፡ በመሆኑም ይህ ጉዳይ በጊዜው ሃይ ካልተባለ፣ ለባሰ ችግር ማጋለጡ አይቀሬ መሆኑ ሊታሰብበት ይገባል፡፡  በአገራችን ያሉ አንዳንድ ባለሥልጣናትም ስለሥልጣን ምንነት ትክክለኛ ዕውቀት ስለሌላቸው ይህ ነው የማይባል ኪሳራ እያደረሱ ይገኛሉ፡፡ የመንግሥት ባለሥልጣናት ሲሾሙ ልዩ ትኩረት የሚሰጡት በሥልጣን አማካይነት ስለሚገኘው ቤት፣

Ethiopia: Discount Dilemma

ANALYSIS On the morning of Wednesday, September 4, 2013, Muluneh Jira, 39, was busy arranging his rented three-by-three boutique, around Hayahulet Mazoria, a few metres away from theGolagulTower. Muluneh came to this area from Merkato, a year ago, to operate as a clothes wholesaler. Since he moved, his business has been going great. However, due to the road and railway construction that started four months ago, his customer base is beginning to drain. "Before the construction started, on average 10 customers bought something from my boutique a day," Muluneh told Fortune, while observing the street thoughtfully. "This is not the situation anymore." Alarmed by the decline of his business and in order to grab the marketing opportunity created by the coming holyday, Muluneh devised a method to attract more customers. "A week ago, I introduced a 20-30pc sales discount on all the items found in my boutique", said Muluneh. "The sale will last un

INSIGHT-In Ethiopia, state controls hold back a waking giant

* Ethiopia's revival a tale of Africa Rising * Nation still overshadowed by charismatic former leader * Hailemariam cautious on opening state-dominated  economy * Ruling coalition keeps ethnic rifts in check By Richard Lough and Aaron Maasho ADDIS ABABA, Sept 17 (Reuters) - When global drinks giant Diageo bought a brewery in Ethiopia, it paid a premium for a stake in a barely tapped African market that in the 1980s had spectacularly failed to feed its own population. Diageo paid $225 million for state-owned Meta Abo, joining a list of firms seeking a foothold in Africa's second most populous nation that was once run by communists and now has an emerging middle class after a decade of double-digit growth. "We paid a premium of course and that was a deliberate decision ... We knew the value of what we were buying," Francis Agbonlahor, Diageo's managing director at Meta Abo, told Reuters in a capital that boasts smart highways and new office blocks.
