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

Premi\u00e8rement<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Ce n\u2019est pas parce que nous vivons dans une d\u00e9mocratie, que nous avons un gouvernement choisi par le peuple, un judicaire ind\u00e9pendant, un ex\u00e9cutif respectant la Constitution, et un l\u00e9gislatif ind\u00e9pendant, que tout ce qui est fait en respectant les lois de la R\u00e9publique de Maurice est bien. Aucun tyran n\u2019a jamais conduit son action au nom du mal, du vice, ou de l\u2019injustice. Il pr\u00e9tend toujours agir au nom du bien. Respecter les lois et avoir une conduite dans le respect du syst\u00e8me ne sont gu\u00e8re suffisants. Ce n\u2019est pas parce qu\u2019une action est inattaquable au regard de la justice qu\u2019elle est bonne. Le peuple de la R\u00e9publique de Maurice a faim de moralit\u00e9 maintenant que son ventre est rempli.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u2019est l\u2019\u00e9thique de responsabilit\u00e9 qui caract\u00e9rise la morale en politique. Ceux et celles qui ont des responsabilit\u00e9s doivent tout faire pour veiller \u00e0 respecter l\u2019\u00e9thique quand ils agissent sur tout bien commun. L\u2019\u00e9thique de responsabilit\u00e9 semble manquer cruellement dans le serment que pr\u00eatent les membres du Cabinet. Comment doivent se conduire les responsables face au bien commun ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce qui se passe dans l\u2019affaire Medpoint me fait penser \u00e0 ce que le mod\u00e8le capitaliste a fait de pire, tout en \u00e9tant fid\u00e8le \u00e0 lui-m\u00eame, et en ne d\u00e9rogeant \u00e0 aucun de ses principes et en ne violant aucune loi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quand des financiers se d\u00e9placent pour racheter une entreprise en difficult\u00e9, ils sont accueillis par les employ\u00e9s comme de grands sauveurs. Mais apr\u00e8s avoir bien \u00e9tudi\u00e9 et \u00e9valu\u00e9 les biens de l\u2019entreprise, ils se contentent de la d\u00e9membrer pour la vendre en petits morceaux \u00e0 la concurrence en tirant un profit \u00e9norme de la transaction. Les employ\u00e9s n\u2019ont que leurs yeux pour pleurer devant les financiers qui, bien s\u00fbr, ne sont pas l\u00e0 pour faire du social. D\u2019ailleurs les financiers travaillent tellement vite qu\u2019aucun lien n\u2019a le temps de se construire entre les employ\u00e9s et les nouveaux patrons du jour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toutes ces op\u00e9rations sont \u00e9troitement suivies par des cabinets juridiques afin qu\u2019elles soient toujours dans les limites de ce que permet la loi. Si ces montages financiers et ces d\u00e9montages des outils de production sont parfaitement l\u00e9gaux, est-ce qu\u2019ils sont pour autant moraux\u00a0?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deuxi\u00e8mement<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Good is good even if nobody does it; bad is bad even if everybody does it!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s global world, it would be pointless to restrict the mobility of labour. Mauritians have the choice to work anywhere in the world. Similarly, Mauritius can always have recourse to international expertise if required. Some argue that mobility of labour would lead to a brain drain in the country. I am not so sure – I think many Mauritians still think that there is no better place than home…<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country” – Is this too much to expect from the so-called Mauritian elite? I was quite surprised to read about the reactions of the parents of some HSC laureates in the press last week. They were reacting following the State\u2019s decision to sue those laureates who have not respected the term of the agreement \u2013 that of either serving the country for at least 5 years after graduation or paying back Rs 500,000 in exchange for the scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n

One parent argued that the salary levels have to be such that the laureates would want to come back. Another parent said that he failed to understand what exactly the laureate received from the State. One parent even argued that it was only a partial scholarship. However, they all seem to be missing out the main point \u2013 those scholarships, full or partial, were financed from the State\u2019s funds and the recipients have a choice \u2013 if they choose not to come back, they can pay the Rs 500,000 as per the bond… Is it ethical of those students to avail of those scholarships and not abide by the rules? Sadly, I doubt whether one can even speak of ethics in today\u2019s Mauritius\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
