We cannot succeed without questioning the current economic model. The low-tax, liberal economy is the primary driver of the systemic inequality and exclusion. Its growth has come at the expense of the welfare state. This has led to deteriorating standards in education, health, social infrastructure, public administration, etc.. disproportionately affecting some communities more than others.

The Board of directors of the State Trading Corporation (STC) of Mauritius was entirely dismissed and subsequently reconstituted.
The reconstituted board introduced some changes but mostly a simple rollover of identical members. A prominent businessman, a close friend of the Minister was appointed as the part-time Chairperson, two independent members with 4 Public officials representing the concerned Ministries and a representative from the MPA. The STC's executive operations continue to be run by General Manager Suren Dayal, who maintains his management position alongside the new advisory board.

When a Govt’s loud-mouth cheerleaders start toning down their usual rhetoric and arrogance and start advising us disorientedly "ร ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐จ ๐๐ ๐รฉ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ. ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐, ๐ค๐ช๐, ๐ข๐๐๐จ ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐จ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ง ๐จ'๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐ง", it becomes clear that, as a result of the massive public and political backlash following the controversial pension reform, this Govt has lost its verve and seems to lack the resolve to introduce new policy initiatives to regain the momentum.
