Answer
Yes. Measurement of the development level in an economy is a comprehensive approach where liberty indicators should be considered along with other socio-economic parameters.
Liberty indicators measure the extent of democratic participation in social and political decision-making. These indicators are significant as they reflect the degree of civil liberties, political rights and economic freedom within a society. With the incorporation of liberty indicators, policymakers can gain a more holistic understanding of an economy's development status.

Question 33 Marks
Critically appraise the disinvestment policy initiated by the government during the reforms of 1991.

The government exceeded its mobilisation target but assets of Public Sector Enterprises (PSES) had been undervalued, resulting in significant losses to the government. Moreover, the proceeds were primarily used to cover shortfalls of government revenue instead of investing in social infrastructure or the development of PSE.
