Third to debureaucratize and decentralize the Government, granting more authority to provinces and municipalities. Fourth, to reform the notoriously corrupt and unscrupulous Police, Gendarmerie and Secret Service. Fifth, to reconstruct the nation economically, providing broad measures of agricultural and industrial assistance.
