Huh? Oh yes, yes, a polite but still cutting remark from the International Monetary Fund, the IMF, towards the leaders of Madagougou.
Kay kay kay… put another way? Well, you’re living beyond your means, to remain politically correct.
And in the wild Elmanesque language? 🤣 Well, you’re talking too much. And besides, that’s what I wrote a few days ago, right?
There you go, io izy io. Of course, when it’s the elman who’s anon, who cares, right? On the other hand, when it’s the creditors, ouch, it’s really bad.
They pretend that the “development needs” are enormous, but lol, what, and you think we’re going to give you a blank check because you said that?
No, bankers, especially in these (difficult) times, no longer give blank checks. They look, they observe you, they analyze your profile; in short, they do what we call scoring.
And your scoring? Well, not great. A lot of money wasted on anything, no real project that actually “brings in”—in short, just hot air.
The proof? Despite the billions of dollars spent who knows how over the past 17 years, in 2025 you still won’t have water and electricity for everyone. That’s a fact; we didn’t invent it.
Secondly, you build colossal things, like the Barea stadium or the cable car, but where’s the return on investment? Yes, yes, shut up, young people. Nothing but enormous debts to be repaid for future generations.
We’ll skip over the water jets and other pseudo-highways.
All that’s part of the tompokolahy sy tompokovavy scoring. Oh, at one point, someone was going to blow the whistle to end the game, and so the IMF got the ball rolling. The others will soon follow.
Precisely speaking, regarding the IMF, they recommend… increasing tax revenues. Uh, yes, on paper, the intention is laudable.
But in practice, how do you increase your tax revenues with 70 or 80% of the population of starving people who don’t know what they’re going to eat for lunch? And if they’re going to eat anything?
Let’s be clear: you won’t create any wealth with 70 or 80% of starving people in survival mode. That’s a fact.
Besides, the remaining 20%, we can’t say that life is good for them. Without water or electricity, we may be happy, according to some, but more seriously, how do we create wealth, please?
17 years to get to where we are today. It’s incredible, terrifying, unimaginable, whatever you want.
And take my word for it, the manenganiny party is far from over. There won’t be a miracle; it’s as certain as 13 + 6 doesn’t equal 18.
I’m learning as I write these lines that it has reportedly been decreed that the implementation of the 105 MW Ambohimanambola power plant is now a national priority.
Nepal has undoubtedly been through this, but my question remains: and once installed, what are you going to use to run these thermal monsters?
