Africa-Press – Mauritius. Pravind Jugnauth was right but we didn’t understand him when he was talking about the feel-good factor. He spoke for a few happy few. Yesterday, a lychee owner, who is also a police commissioner, could count on the speed of his teams to take action, in less than two seconds, against a person who managed to slip between the net and the bats to steal some red fruits.
Today, a good father, who is also a police commissioner, was able to count on a former chief judge to commute his son’s 12 months in prison to a fine of Rs 100,000.
and they show us the way, you speak. . . Well. One year in prison is equivalent to one hundred thousand rupees. In addition, it saves money for the prison services.
In order to extend the feel-good factor, the government of Pravind Jugnauth could study the question by commuting the sentences of other prisoners, especially those who have cash, such as Veeren Peroumal or Gro Derek who would like breathe the open air and pick up the tilapias at the edge of the reservoirs.
The former chief judge, who obviously has no use for the opinion of the current chief judge (who was his Junior, after all!), is not even embarrassed at the corners: no time to wait for the Privy Council’s decision regarding Dip Jr’s Special Leave, money must be brought into the state coffers.
.
. Everyone has their own priorities. Anyway, between Matadeen and the Privy Council, it’s I-love-me neither.
Speaking of state coffers, how can we ignore the Central Banker of the Year who, we are told, would do wonders and form a shock tandem with Renganaden Padayachy.
Are we not feeling good about both? The MIC is their baby and they will never let it down no matter what the IMF says. With Governor Seegolam and the Grand Treasurer, we apparently don’t have to worry.
In fact, they push us towards the post-capitalist world. The emptier the crates, the lighter we will feel. Doesn’t more inflation rhyme with less consumerism? There would already be a plan to convert shopping malls.
In what ? We do not know yet. But the plan will tell us. This government thinks local. He does not want Mauritius to be the experimental kitchen of neoliberal policies and harsh austerity policies.
The shock duo would not want to see the social fabric tearing apart and eliminating what remains of the welfare state, especially since elections are looming on the horizon.
To stay in power, you have to feel good, even if the coffers are empty, in addition to the Rs 40 billion from the MIC, because don’t forget: there will always be relatives who could be pardoned against money, just as there will always remain in the sky a few clouds carrying rain which will come to fill our reservoirs.
. and if the clouds disappear, the socio-cultural people will surely call them back.
