In the end the economic problems will not solve in the short and medium term if the political systems are unchanged. This is what it feels like in a Black hole when the government wanted to listen only to the Yes comedians and were the country is managed by loyal appointed candidates. On this note, we should remember the SPPF slogan which goes something like “ BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE”. Now it makes more sense than ever. If you want to be Chancellor of Seychelles University, No problem. If you want to act like Foreign Affairs Minister, it can be done. I wonder what are the next wishes for him and his entourage, perhaps Commander in Chief for Oil. Anything you wish is possible as long as you serve the SPPF/SPP. It is this attitude which will keep us in the deep black hole for a good long time. People of the Seychelles should understand even if natural resources lie underneath our feet, any government can exploit them, but it takes good governance to manage the resources, not the Yes men and loyal servants who fulfills their slogan “BE WHAT THEY WANT TO BE” and then bankrupt the country even further.
Lastly, I promise that in our future writing, we shall explore together the definitions of patriotism. This is to put some rest to those people who think if you debate or make criticism you are not patriotic. The question is: patriotic to “what”and “who”? What is the difference between between patriotic to the ruling government and that to out motherland. Our principle is very clear we are not patriotic to individuals or systems of governance but to our motherland. We operate on the name of transparency and accountability... we are patriotic to the principles of good governance.
Its called Black 'hole' and not 'whole'.
