The choice is yours to turn this country into an economic basket case .

One of our top economist cum political activist posted a narrative about the players of the England football team instructed to raise their arms to give the Nazi "Heil Hitler" salute before a match in Berlin on 14 May 1938. One of the players, Stan Cullis, refused to carry out the salute and was dropped from the team 

In this very month, 82 years latter, such an authoritarian regime is putting up a draconian law-the Covid Bill . How many of our MPs will stand up ,like Stan Culls, against the Covid Bill .?
“If a law is unjust a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so” - Thomas Jefferson
They are using Covid-19 as an excuse; a whole fictional catastrophic scenario has been mounted amplifying the scale of the economic impact of coronavirus -that the reductions in GDP during the current outbreak will likely exceed such and such figures, every day new higher figures of unemployment are being released and the economic revival package for the economy estimated to be more than 10% of GDP when most economies , as badly hit as ours, are spending around 5% of GDP!!!
Why are they not transparent about the figures ? 
It is only starting to become clear why the government policy responses are needing such drastic measures and such huge resources.!!!
Because they could not have had a better opportunity to force the workers to fall in line with the corporates, (Business Mauritius dictates the terms),raid the state coffers , turn the BOM into a rubber stamp, print the amount of money they want and plunder at their will before turning the economy into a Sub-Saharan basket-case.
Some have already dared to coin out the following: " SAJ le père du Miracle Economique mais PJ père de la Faillite Economique"
