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

Premi\u00e8rement<\/u><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Si vous \u00eates un \u00e9tranger de passage \u00e0 Maurice et que vous avez \u00e9cout\u00e9 certaines radios priv\u00e9es ou vous avez eu le plaisir de lire certains journaux locaux, vous aurez l\u2019impression que l\u2019on vous a menti. <\/span><\/p>\n

Si vous vous fiez \u00e0 ces \u00e9lucubrations, vous ne pourrez vous enlever de l\u2019esprit que la r\u00e9volte gronde, le peuple a faim de justice et de v\u00e9rit\u00e9. Il se d\u00e9gage une impression que le gouvernement se maintient uniquement au pouvoir afin de s\u2019enrichir sur le dos des citoyens et, qu\u2019en m\u00eame temps, personne n\u2019arrive \u00e0 dire\u00a0: \u2018Stop\u00a0! nous ne sommes pas d\u2019accord\u00a0!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Nous sommes heureusement loin de cela. Maurice est un Etat de droit, doubl\u00e9 d\u2019une d\u00e9mocratie bien vivante. N\u2019en d\u00e9plaisent aux esprits chagrins qui ont lutt\u00e9 contre notre accession \u00e0 l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance et qui voit dans les crises politiques des tunisiens et des Libyens une source d\u2019inspiration pour renverser le cours de l\u2019Histoire. Cette clique veut tout d\u00e9truire uniquement pour pouvoir dire\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0<\/strong>Vous voyez, nous avions raison\u00a0: Maurice ne peut \u00eatre souveraine, nous avions raison m\u00eame si le chaos a mis plus de temps que pr\u00e9vu pour venir<\/em>.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Il faut faire attention car si les fossoyeurs de l\u2019unit\u00e9 nationale ont pris une grande claque avec la r\u00e9\u00e9lection de Navin Ramgoolam, il n\u2019en demeure pas moins qu\u2019ils n\u2019ont pas dit leur dernier mot. Tapis dans l\u2019ombre, ils sont \u00e0 l\u2019aff\u00fbt de la moindre \u00e9tincelle pour enflammer les communaut\u00e9s les unes contre les autres. Pour l\u2019instant, ils ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de s\u2019acharner contre un partenaire minoritaire du gouvernement en faisant fi des institutions qui m\u00e8nent l\u2019enqu\u00eate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Il nous pla\u00eet toujours de citer l\u2019Inde comme exemple \u00e0 tout va, alors pourquoi cette fois-ci omettre de dire que dans ce pays l’ancien ministre des t\u00e9l\u00e9communications, Andimuthu Raja, soup\u00e7onn\u00e9 d’avoir organis\u00e9 la vente frauduleuse de licences<\/strong> de t\u00e9l\u00e9phonie mobile de deuxi\u00e8me g\u00e9n\u00e9ration (2G)<\/strong>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9 en d\u00e9tention provisoire. La police f\u00e9d\u00e9rale a \u00e9galement arr\u00eat\u00e9 le directeur de l’un des plus grands groupes immobiliers du pays, qui est aussi vice-pr\u00e9sident de l’op\u00e9rateur Etisalat DB Telecom India. La Cour supr\u00eame indienne a ordonn\u00e9 au gouvernement d\u2019installer un tribunal sp\u00e9cial pour acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer les auditions dans le cadre de l\u2019enqu\u00eate. Avec le contr\u00f4le de la Cour supr\u00eame et les arrestations de la police nationale, l\u2019United Progressive Alliance (UPA) commence \u00e0 sentir la chaleur. L\u2019opposition, de son c\u00f4t\u00e9, demeure attach\u00e9e \u00e0 une enqu\u00eate parlementaire, r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par une commission paritaire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le ministre des T\u00e9l\u00e9communications impliqu\u00e9 a d\u00e9missionn\u00e9 et se retrouve au cachot. Certains grands patrons du secteur priv\u00e9 l\u2019ont rejoint. Les institutions fonctionnent en Inde\u00a0:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. La Cour supr\u00eame a fait son travail.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. L\u2019opposition joue son r\u00f4le en maintenant une pression constante sur le gouvernement.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Le chef de l\u2019ex\u00e9cutif indien, Manmohan Singh du Parti du Congr\u00e8s, au pouvoir depuis sept ans a donn\u00e9 un coup de Karcher pour tout nettoyer.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Je vous mentirais si je vous dis que toutes les institutions de Maurice fonctionnent aussi bien qu\u2019en Inde. Pour le peuple mauricien, certaines institutions font semblant d\u2019agir, en attendant une directive pour savoir dans quelle direction il faut aller. Va-t-on encore nous dire que ce n\u2019est qu\u2019une perception\u00a0? <\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

    Setting the standard<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>During the last two weeks, most of us have been filing our annual income tax returns. This year, we have been encouraged to go for e-filing as the MRA did not send out any form by post. This was a really good initiative. As usual the MRA provided necessary support to those who needed help. E-filing is more convenient and very user friendly. One is less prone to making errors as the necessary formulas have been integrated into the system. To encourage e-filing, the MRA even entered everybody who used e-filing for their annual return into a prize draw.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I once had to collect a Tax Account Number (TAN) for somebody from the MRA. I called up the office to find out about the opening hours. I was told that they open at 08:30 am. I was there at 08:30 am. and by 08:35 am. I had my TAN in hand. I need to point out that I did not know anybody working at the MRA and was quite impressed with the efficiency and effectiveness with which the staff of the MRA works. It is indeed remarkable. Can we expect the same efficiency\/effectiveness from our customs officers? The customs officers are presently requesting an increase in their salary levels to match those of other MRA officials. If, in return for the rise in salary, their efficiency levels would match those of their colleagues form the MRA, there should be no problem to match their salaries\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
