BBI presents a great opportunity for fresh start at the Coast

At the Coast, mangoes are sold in a ‘pakacha’ (a woven basket that holds 10 to 15 mangoes that you can see clearly between the weaves). Packing the pakacha is an art; you have to show the big mangoes and hide the smaller ones in-between. If you are lucky you will get bigger mangoes than the small tasteless ones. 

This is the case with the BBI report. There are enough good points to make me like it and not enough bad points to make me reject it. So, like the pakacha, I’ll have to live with it. BBI has given the youth reprieve on the early repayment of Helb loans, the setting up of a Youth Commission and other goodies. Who can reject these?
