Board members of Statistics Mauritius, what are they being paid for ?

The contributions of the board members of Statistics Mauritius(SM) seem to be most of the time useless and there are there mainly for the hefty allowances and just to toe the line –exemplary yes-man. The only moment that they are singularly active is when tea and “gateaux piments” are being served. As long as we have such chatwas on the boards, we should not be surprised that our institutions have , of late, been suffering from an ethical and governance deficit. They have repudiated independence, transparency and accountability with a brazen shrug of callousness and indifference.

Budget 2023-24: Failing on many fronts !

The budget, designed with the possibility of an election in mind and with its many giveaways to sway the voter, turned out to be a damp squib. There are no big reform signals to jumpstart the economy.

ReA fustige le budget 2023-24 «C'est un modèle économique qui ne vise qu'à enrichir les investisseurs qui pourront exploiter nos ressources et notre marché sans créer des emplois. Il y aura de moins en moins d'opportunités de travail pour nos jeunes. L'émigration continuera.»
