If I were the rector I would dismiss: Alkatiri

"Prime Minister Alkatiri is of the opinion that a certain economic lecturer who said that birth rate does not influence the economic growth is silly. Alkatiri added that if he were the Rector of the university he would dismiss such a teacher. Referring to recent comments from various political parties, economists and civil society, the Prime Minister said that in order to have progressive economic growth the birth rate must decrease."
