Sithanen should stop using a very pessimistic approach and always put the blame on the previous government. When the economy is facing some tough challenges, the last thing the population and investors need is to be frightened.

Economy situation bad->Sithanen pessimistic approach->population does not spend/Investors do not invest->Economic situation worse

People owning foreign currency will unlikely sell convert them to rupees as long as they don’t see a bright future.

That’s the way politics in mtius goes.. “pa mwa sa li sa”. Every new govt in place would blame the precedent one for errors or budget deficits.
“dreams” again?? Come on, the 100 days change are over.

Oy!

Can someone motivate me to change my dollars into rupees…? Giji moi do! Why the hell would i do that? People like Sithanen may have gone through hard times studying in harsh conditions etc, but they have lost track of mauritian reality since long. His children may have never know what it is to spare rupee by rupee before buying a pair of shoes.

An example: just ask Rama how much it costs to travel from Rose Hill to Port Louis by bus. i bet 100USD that he’s off the mark by more than 20% of the real price.

Now just ask Navin how much costs a cask of Blue Label. :-) Ok, ok, too easy. Ask Paul how much a Pierre Cardin suit costs? Ayo, sorry, could not help it…

Just to tell you how our politicians are off the mark in all situations. They are so far from our relaties that we, Dodolanders, will continue to have to bear these people as long as people from the middle class are not duly represented in decision making processes.

Will continue later, got to work now…
