The Jag!: June 2014

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Monday, June 09, 2014. Thoughts on Electoral Reform (2). What are we trying to solve with electoral reform? Let us begin with a little bit of history. As Yashwant Jeewoolall reminded us recently. You will find out that Philippe Rozemont - Guy's brother - was expelled from the Labour Party because he voted in favour of it and that Renganaden Seeneevassen. Connecting two toxic dots. Are likely the ones who will appear on the infamous party lists. That&#...

The Jag!: How Bad Was Sithanen?

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-bad-was-sithanen.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Monday, November 10, 2014. How Bad Was Sithanen? His nine-year-old economic reforms have been an unmitigated mess. Plenty has been written about this. For example his policies have been worse than flipping a coin. A roulette in the Treasury Building would have produced even better outcomes. Which gives you an idea of the kind of skills mismatch we're talking about here. But let's look at it from a different perspective given how sophisticated. Subscri...

The Jag!: Who's the Better Cake-Cutter?

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2014/11/whos-better-cake-cutter.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Who's the Better Cake-Cutter? We can get an idea if we look at the Household Budget Surveys (HBS) that our highly-esteemed CSO publishes every five years. Let us proceed the same way that a clock ticks and start comparing the 1991/92 data with that of 1996/97. Lutchmeenaraidoo vs. Sithanen. Effect in the 1996/97 data. Ramgoolam II takes over. Pays le mieux géré du monde. Will be like . Sithanen vs. Sithanen. But this has ...

My Few Words..: August 2010

http://nav007.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 4. Book Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first instalment of the Millennium Trilogy, by Stieg Larsson. The story dwelves into two main themes: neo-nazism and and feminism in Sweden. This again is influenced by the author's upbringing, with the locations in the book being based on actual places in Sweden. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a...

The Jag!: Gandhi’s Education

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2014/10/gandhi-education.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Thursday, October 02, 2014. I don't let my schooling interfere with my education. You are reading this because of something Firoz Ghanty wrote in Forum. 21 years in South Africa. A shy Mohandas arrives. On a year-long contract. At his trade. A lot better. Still, why didn’t he ask. For the release of Mandela? But it’s easier for Madiba. To write about Gandhi. And he does. On a number of times. Like in the first issue of Time magazine in 2000&#4...So ye...

The Jag!: August 2008

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Monday, August 25, 2008. Man vs. Machine. God doesn’t play dice. Consider the following policies. 1 While oil prices went through the roof over a 3-year period, make the purchase of big cars more attractive. 2 Cancel the school-feeding program which cost peanuts in a Rs 50 billion budget while granting a Rs 5 billion gift to a sunset industry that accounts for less than 3% of our economy. A familiar machine and one simple rule. If you were expecting s...

The Jag!: September 2007

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775. Ptions. It’s the response of The Jag! On behalf of the beautiful people of Mauritius to the incompetent bunch that swear only by TINA. TINA – Position #1:. There is no money to fix the severe traffic problems that we face. Debt levels are already way too high. Blah blah blah. TAMBO – Response #1:. TINA – Position #2:. TAMBO – Response #2:. The Minister o...

The Jag!: Thoughts on Electoral Reform (3)

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2014/07/thoughts-on-electoral-reform-3.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Tuesday, July 01, 2014. Thoughts on Electoral Reform (3). There are a number of problems with the Constitution Temporary Provisions Bill and its Explanatory Memorandum. Has at least three problems. Plus Bill flouts meritocracy. And anybody who’s been involved with policy-making during that time should come forward with a serious explanation. Bill may again deprive. Us of a functional opposition. 5 Allocation of 8 additional seats. 2 As soon as is prac...

The Jag!: Waiting For Rama?

http://morisk.blogspot.com/2006/02/no3-december-2005_113915218866888757.html

Written to and for the beautiful people of Mauritius. Friday, December 30, 2005. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Of course not. He has already shown his mettle and it is not difficult to see that he has a strong action bias and has uplifted what has otherwise always been a dull ministry. I am, of course, speaking of Rama Valayden. So you would have thought that the new Finance Minister would have come out of the starting blocks with a bang and with an urgent desire to sink his teeth ...
