Sithanen Available To Offer Opinion on 5 Issues, To Anyone

Which he qualified as extremely complicated. These are:

1. Electoral reform
2. Institutional reform
3. Double Taxation Avoidance Treaty (DTAT) with India
4. Global Economic Situation
5. Local Economic Situation

He met the PM yesterday and has volunteered to tell Berenger exactly the same thing he told Ramgoolam if moustas wishes. He is also prepared to meet anybody else who is keen to hear what he has to say. But he didn't want to tell Radio+ this morning.

Two things seem to be happening here. First, it looks like he's desperately trying to creep into the limelight again because if he is prepared to tell everybody exactly what he told the PM he should write an article about it or make a little statement to any of our radios. I mean for the sake of efficiency -- and in the spirit of the, ehh... PBB -- that's what he should do. The second one is that he seems to have a lot of time on his hands to be able to go around like a ghar ghar ki lota. But it's true that the unemployment rate has remained in the double-digits for the last many years.

As far as the 5 topics go we know that electoral reform is not priority; we have tasted his idea of institutional reform with the appointment of his toxic little buddy as FS and the display of what a pathetic Bretton-Woods puppet looks like and that treaty has probably contributed in preventing the full genius of the Mauritian people to emerge. And the internet provides us with enough information about point 4 so we don't really need him for this while I am hoping he will issue a mea culpa to the beautiful people of Mauritius for the unmitigated mess he has done to our local economy with his ultra-liberal policies.

Finally, these issues are not exactly complicated and the sun will keep on rising in spite of him.
