Faced with opposition to Poto in its present form - both from its political rivals and allies - the government strategy appears to be to introduce it towards the end of the third week of the five-week Parliament session - that is by December 7.
This, government sources said, is for two reasons: That negative publicity about Poto does not overshadow the session and prevent the government from fulfilling the rest of its agenda; It gives the government enough time to work on what it perceives as divisions within the Congress to its own advantage.
