Huh? A burst of laughter fills us, still on the subject of water and electricity 🤣

No, but seriously, what vahaolana has been going on for exactly a year?

We’re hearing about 105 MW of solar farms, but where are they as we speak? DTC, as those ill-mannered young rascals would say?

And we’re still talking about a year… but you’ve been here for almost 17 years, damn it, and apart from saying it’s Marc Ravalomanana’s fault, that there was also load shedding in his time, and that you won’t be any worse than him…. concretely?

Sahofika and Volopooor be? You did indeed knowingly sabotage them, yes. Whereas if these projects had benefited from the continuity of the State, the power outages would have been a distant memory as we speak.

And as for the water problems, we’ve known for a long time that there’s a shortage of at least 100,000 cubic meters in Tana every day, so what have you done since then?

Where are the Montsouris? Where are the Hay les Roses? Where are the aqueducts? DTC again? Given everything that’s already in there, it doesn’t fit in there anymore, right?

The almost million newborns every year, on the other hand, don’t stop. More than 10 million additional inhabitants in the last 17 years, and no significant infrastructure to accommodate this explosive demographic?

You all know what happens when the cake doesn’t move, but the number of guests increases drastically. The individual share shrinks miserably, it’s mathematical. And in the end, there are only crumbs left, Tsinjo and famono sauce to distribute.

Efa mitady vahaolana hono. Well yes, when there’s a fire in the casbah, we’re reduced to these kinds of phrases, trying to put out the fire… without water? 🤣 In the meantime, the most absolute right mihintsy izany right to demonstrate zany, it’s said.

And as usual, we come back again and again to my idea of what’s a priority, what’s urgent, and what’s important.

It seems crazy to have to ask, but wasn’t the water project a top priority 17 years ago?

His “for now it’s working, let’s leave it as it is, we’ll figure it out later” thing?

A typically endemic philosophy, by the way: we stretch the thing to the limit, until it’s ruined. No maintenance, no upkeep, no replacement, mety io ram’s a.

Indrisy in 2025 tsy nety intsony. Everything is ruined, and of course we have no plan B. Dozens of hours of power outages across the country, that’s plan B. Well, that’s pretty neat, I must say.

In short, it’s all well and good to repeat my “to govern is to foresee,” but actually doing it would be even better, wouldn’t it?

So you need another 17 years to accomplish everything that wasn’t accomplished in the previous 17?

Perhaps at some point it would be wiser to return the jacket that was clearly a little too big for you?
