Role 6. Frogan Small and Medium Enterprise Council (lobbies for
anti-corruption measure that promotes investment and business
development)
A successful election could help attract foreign money despite Froga’s immediate
problems. Froga is unattractive to foreign investors, who could bring in badly needed
funds that would create jobs and a local tax base. Lack of law and order along with bad
infrastructure makes doing business in Froga difficult. Also, a murky tax structure makes
taxes seem arbitrary and unpredictable. Your members are tired of paying off
government officials, thugs, the police, and the military for protection.
You want the election to result in a better business environment. An unsuccessful
election will mean more instability and a poor business environment. A better business
environment will mean more wealth for the Frogan people and more revenue for the
government. Your members are leaders in their communities and you can organize a
large number of voters to support the parties that will support law and order,
infrastructure development, and transparent tax and government processes.
You want:
• The national government to take concrete steps to increase security for
businesses and citizens.
• More funding devoted to small and medium business development.
• Increasing transparency (e.g., improved tax structure) and accountability.
