He just have to take a look at what was achieved by the Labour Party between December 1976 and June 1982. Of course at that time the leadership of the MLP knew how to assemble strong and dissenting teams that could be trusted with a schedule.
Something which has eluded Navin Ramgoolam until now.

And SSR's term ended in a 60-0 defeat!
ReplyDeleteTrue but they scored better than the MSM did in 1995. We also have to look at the external context at the time along with our vulnerability.
ReplyDeleteThe Labour Party of that time was probably the only government we ever had that had any profound ideas about development. Something that even ex-MMMs like Jack Bizlall acknowledge (read his "onze critiques" downloadable from this blog).
And they implemented many of those ideas. The rest were either lucky or were incapable of thinking deeply about our future.
@Bruno:
ReplyDeleteHere is something I wrote back in 2005:
"Our leaders should always stick with those policies that are good for Mauritius irrespective of whether they are good for the politician’s future. The selfless leader would not hesitate to execute policies that are good for Mauritius even if it means making his re-election more difficult as the interest of the country should always take precedence. There are, of course, many policies that are good for both the politician and the country. I hope they appear pretty quickly on Mr. Sithanen’s to-do list."
What are your thoughts on this?
La mar riy la-bou...
ReplyDeleteDocteur-Maître a dit qu'il fallait qu'on l'attende aterrir à Dodoland avant de prendre une décision...
Et il prend son temps pour retourner au bercail alors que pas moins de SIX ministères sont en souffrance.
Tic tac, tic tac...
Soyons fous:
aux Finances: Nita D;
à la santé: Rihun H;
à la fonction publique: Patrick A;
au tourisme: Suran D;
aux coopératives: Mahen G;
à la sécurité sociale: Xavier D.
En attendant, voyons si la page web du gouvernement (ou celle des ambassades comme celle-ci) sera mise à jour avant le retour du Docteur-Maître.
Tic tac, tic tac...

ReplyDeleteOne point.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that the portfolios of the resigning ministers have already been redistributed as you would expect in a functioning state?
Now, compare this with Rama Sithanen's resignation-cum-blackmail circus: he did not step down to allow the continuity at the MoF.
@ SJ:
ReplyDeleteWai, mes excuses pou Mahen G. Li telman plis actif ki certains depité ek miniss ki mo ti kwarr...
Kan ou réalizé ki tou ça cinéma tam-tam la inn koumencé ar Rajesh malgré position tous bann experts la santé contre l'utilité enn lopital gériatrique.
He'll go down history as the one who systematically leaves oil-stains on his CV wherever he sits as minister: E-IILM university "mauritian branch campus", Amul milk, Turkish flour, Desbro reinforcement bars, gro-pois, STCM, cement, Betamax, KFC and nowadays the infamous Water Research group which crashes through open gates... Wai do!

ReplyDeleteP.J.: Si l'ICAC ena fiel dir zot vini. He meant to question him about the medpoint scandal. Hmm. Irresponsible resignation followed by challenging institutions? I do not think this will make the PM happy.
Wadire l"ICAC pu gagne fiele avec sa communique PM la. Pa pu etonne moi qui Ramgoolam ti cuit enn bon maspin pu sa beta qui ti vine boire dite Riverwalk hier soir.

ReplyDeleteOne more oil-stain on the CV of Rajesh. Mine de rien, il a peut-être trouvé du pétrole, qui sait...?
ReplyDeleteOn another plane, when a coach is faced with such a liability in his team, is it reasonable to keep that player on the pitch?
