Africa-Press – Mauritius. The speaker criticizes the government’s targeting practices, likening them to those used during the colonial era to determine poverty. They argue that the current targeting exercise is even more oppressive.
According to the speaker, workers now have to justify whether they are poor or sick. They question Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam’s announcement of an Income Support of Rs 10,000, asking if it’s realistic for anyone to live on that amount per month and urging the population to be aware of the situation.
The speaker contends that targeting affects not only the elderly but also children, stating that the state is attacking the acquired rights of workers.
