Ce qui compte vraiment\u2026<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Premi\u00e8rement<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La part du Lion<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s le traitement que le PTr et le PMSD ont inject\u00e9 dans les veines du MSM, le patient a retrouv\u00e9 la grande forme. Les r\u00e9sultats des \u00e9lections 2010 illustrent la synergie qu\u2019a cr\u00e9\u00e9e l\u2019Alliance de l\u2019Avenir PTr-PMSD-MSM. Ainsi les candidats du PTr ont connu un taux de r\u00e9ussite de 75% et ceux du MSM un taux de 70%.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Et dire qu\u2019il y a seulement deux mois de cela le MSM repr\u00e9sentait, selon les sondages, 4% d\u2019intention de vote. Heureusement que le Premier ministre a tenu bon et ne s\u2019est pas fi\u00e9 uniquement aux sondages. En s\u2019assurant que le MSM ne soit pas humili\u00e9 par un nombre d\u00e9risoire d\u2019investitures, le Premier ministre a r\u00e9ussi un coup de ma\u00eetre en faisant table rase dans les circonscriptions No 5 \u00e0 No 13.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Le Premier ministre a allou\u00e9 sept minist\u00e8res au MSM, ce qui repr\u00e9sente 28% de son Conseil des ministres. Le MSM obtient le poste de Deputy Speaker et trois Private Parliamentary Secretaries. Sur un total de 12 \u00e9lus, 10 sont plus que de simples d\u00e9put\u00e9s, soit 84% des \u00e9lus MSM ont obtenu des responsabilit\u00e9s accrues. Il ne reste que deux d\u00e9put\u00e9s MSM qui pourront poser des questions en tant que backbenchers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ethique et r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration des nomin\u00e9s politiques<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Les nomin\u00e9s politiques ont pour t\u00e2che de traduire en actions concr\u00e8tes la vision et les d\u00e9cisions du gouvernement. Ils viennent d\u2019horizons divers, ils doivent leur nomination \u00e0 la confiance qui leur est accord\u00e9e. A eux d\u2019\u00eatre dignes de cette confiance, d\u2019agir de fa\u00e7on honn\u00eate, en gardant en t\u00eate qu\u2019ils ne sont pas indispensables. Pour chaque nomin\u00e9 en poste, il y a des centaines de candidats potentiels qui peuvent les remplacer en un battement de cils. Ils sont la vitrine que dresse un gouvernement pour \u00e9tablir un \u00e9quilibre ethno-cast\u00e9iste dans le partage des responsabilit\u00e9s \u00e0 la t\u00eate du pays.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019opposition utilise les salaires et les traitements princiers que re\u00e7oivent les nomin\u00e9s pour embarrasser le gouvernement. En effet, pourquoi doivent-ils \u00eatre pay\u00e9s comme des oiseaux rares ? Sont-ils en train de faire bon usage de leur salaire et autres avantages ?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trop souvent, les nomin\u00e9s politiques ne poss\u00e8dent pas les comp\u00e9tences techniques n\u00e9cessaires ; ils d\u00e9pendent alors des cadres des entreprises ou des organismes de leur nomination. Vu que ces cadres sont hi\u00e9rarchiquement sous leurs ordres, les nomin\u00e9s politiques pensent qu\u2019ils doivent gagner plus. Ils oublient qu\u2019ils ne sont l\u00e0 que pour garantir le bon fonctionnement de ces institutions et surveiller \u00e0 ce que la politique du gouvernement soit appliqu\u00e9e. Ils s\u2019inventent alors des comp\u00e9tences qui \u2013 en v\u00e9rit\u00e9 — leur font d\u00e9faut, et se mettent \u00e0 croire en des qualit\u00e9s de leader qu\u2019ils ne poss\u00e8dent pas forc\u00e9ment et finissent par devenir des marionnettes dans les mains des accapareurs.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Afin d\u2019\u00e9viter de tels abus, nous proposons que le total des salaires et autres avantages des nomin\u00e9s politiques soit au maximum \u00e9gal \u00e0 deux tiers du package d\u2019un ministre. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019\u00e9viter des situations aberrantes o\u00f9 il faut ajouter le salaire du Premier ministre \u00e0 celui du Leader de l\u2019Opposition et \u00e0 celui du Pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique pour arriver \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quivalent de ce que gagne mensuellement un nomin\u00e9 politique, directeur d\u2019une entreprise o\u00f9 l\u2019Etat poss\u00e8de des actions. Quand notre syst\u00e8me tol\u00e8re ce genre de non-sens, comment ne pas comprendre la r\u00e9action de rejet du public ?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La mise en place d\u2019une grille de salaires s\u2019assurerait que les nomin\u00e9s politiques sont l\u00e0 pour servir le pays en tant que patriotes et non pas pour alimenter les scandales financiers ou autres.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La fin d\u2019une \u00e9poque: Le Militant<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Il y a des signes qui ne trompent pas. L\u2019arr\u00eat de publication du journal Le Militant (organe de presse du MMM) illustre un renouvellement, un nouveau d\u00e9part, et peut-\u00eatre, en m\u00eame temps, la fin du tandem Bhagwan et B\u00e9renger. Cet organe de presse servait \u00e0 la propagande de l\u2019id\u00e9ologie MMM. Cette id\u00e9ologie n\u2019existant plus, le journal dispara\u00eet. Le positionnement sur le Web demandera une r\u00e9daction plus \u00e9clair\u00e9e et ne pourra pas seulement se contenter d\u2019insultes et de caricatures ind\u00e9centes.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pourquoi Paul B\u00e9renger ne profite-t-il pas de cette fin du Militant pour passer officiellement le flambeau \u00e0 l\u2019express et \u00e0 Week-End\u2026 d\u2019autant plus, car\u00a0 <\/span>l\u2019impression qui se d\u00e9gage, c\u2019est que la ligne \u00e9ditoriale de ces journaux est teint\u00e9e de mauve ?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Open Letter to the Mayor of Vcs-Phoenix<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have learnt that a \u2018Jardin d\u2019enfants\u2019 will be set up alongside the river at the end of Tranquille Road, near the new bridge at Vacoas. We would like to caution against this project as the river overflows and the whole area around the river is flooded during heavy rains and in the wake of cyclones. One can easily imagine what will happen to the garden in these circumstances. Moreover the closeness of the river to the proposed children\u2019s garden poses another risk, as children may be tempted to go and play in the river. This can prove to be very dangerous.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
