SELL BABY SELL

James Michel selling our patrimony and we the island people are consigned to apartments

There is a major uproar in Seychelles about the outright selling of our patrimony to anyone with a case full of dollars or Euros, roubles or yuans. The President of Seychelles and his bunch of communist morons who have been in power way past their sell-by date of 34 years, is hell bent of selling off whatever property in a desperate attempt to keep themselves in power and save their political skin. BUT above all, this exercise is a desperate measure to try and salvage a country that they have pillaged to the tune of $2.5 billion and indebted for a further $800 million. Now that the IMF has stepped in, it is a miracle to see the same perpetrators of this heinous economic crime still calling the shots. They have corrupted the system and numbed the entire population with bribes to maintain their grip on power. We are supposed to be under economic bailout but it is mindboggling to see the spending spree that the government and the country has embarked upon since the last three years.

Spending seems to be the new national sport as we see huge mansions going up on the hills and spanking new cars clogging the streets of Victoria. The James Michel administration is burning money like there is no tomorrow, with overseas trips to look presidential, parties and fiestas to keep the merry-go-round turning.

Those flaunting their newly found affluence are the stalwarts of the party which incidentally underwent a metamorphosis to enter the new IMF era (from SPPF to Parti LePep). A strange coincidence to try and absolve themselves from the crimes committed (remember the change from SPUP to SPPF after the coup d'etat in 1977? - Crime TREASON). So the move from SPPF to LePep is to absolve themselves from their second crime which is economic meltdown - BANKRUPTCY.

There is no doubt that our country today has an underground economy that benefits the chosen few who will defend till death their newly acquired status.

And while the ordinary Seychellois is confined to a pigeon or rabbit hole on reclaimed land, Michel and his cronies are on their "sell baby sell" campaign to the rich and famous.

They have sacrificed our principles of nationhood for a few pieces of silver. Judgement day is on the horizon... and one thing that the Seychellois electorate has understood clearly is that they will not allow this pillaging of our country to go on...
