What Lutchmeenaraidoo Must Do, Fast

Increase top tax rates for individuals and for corporates in the next budget. So energy prices can come down to levels that reflect international conditions. And government can start help the economy humming nicely again. In a sustainable fashion. Smart Cities which are more like glorified IRS will not take us anywhere good. They are like the wrong type of FDI we've been getting since 2005: they don't help our young knowledge workers contribute their skills to push Mauritius forward but only make sure that another whole generation is buried. Alive.

Or Lepep and Vishnu -- who can't seem to tell the difference between a Black Swan and a White one -- stand to lose a lot more than bragging rights about delivering a second 'miracle'. They will inevitably be thrown out of office and voters will finally experience an aha moment when revisiting the 'first' one.

Kozelidir Free Guide To Understanding The Infamous Stimulus Package

We did not need one in the first place as our banks were making record profits and did not have toxic assets on their balance sheets thanks to the relative primitiveness of their operations. Besides what was marketed as proof that the Sithanen/Mansoor reforms had been successful was merely a flash in the pan. The trouble we got into here was instead due to the work of a White Swan.

The ASP, for sure, could have been more transparent. But it didn't take long before it became redundant.

Claims of it saving as many as 4,700 jobs are easy to disprove while MPs now want hear from Mansoor.

And a lot of people want to hear from Cader.
