</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>This week, our globe-trotting, book-writing, highly decorated Honorary Doctor and President of Seychelles (James Alix Michel aka JAM) revealed the names of the new candidates in his Government. </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>While many of the names were already known, the Seychellois people were stunned at some of the announcements. The most controversial was of course the appointment of Mitcy Larue as the Minister of Health and we are quite sure that Madame Gamatis must be wondering when she will become Minister of Hydro-Carbon. Surely she qualifies too.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Alain St. Ange has been rewarded for his hard work, but more so for his sucking-up to Michel, while Rolph Payet is probably the most deserving of them all since he actually earned his Doctorate Degree by attending University (hear that James). </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Christian Lionnet is another shock as he is neither competent nor qualified, and his speech on SBC 2 mights ago was appalling. Studying for a couple of years in Communist China must be rewarding as Idith Alexander, another unqualified person has landed a cabinet post. Must be great to be a Party Lepep card holder.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>As for our ex-Central Bank of Seychelles Governor Pierre Laporte, he will now have to take off his Capitalist hat and put on one of those new Socialist Michel-Morgan styled cap in order to cater to James Michel's welfare state. Forget Milton Friendman and Economics Mr. Laporte. Focus instead on Cuba (Castro), Rene & Michel, North Korea, Stalin and Lenin, Chavez, Mugabe and all those other incredible successful communist economies and those great leaders. Maybe you can ask Mukesh Valabhji, Francis ChangLeng and Leopold Payet to give you some tips on how to become rich, or at least how to empty the coffers of the country. After all, you are no longer running a bank, but you are now in charge of the Treasury. So spend, spend and spend like there is no tomorrow, and get ready for the Assembly to request another 2 or 3 supplementary budgets before 2012 is over.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Marie-Louise the Shrieking Lady of the House has now been rewarded with an ambassador post in the USA. Only God and James Michel would know what this woman will do for Seychelles while she stuffs her face with McDonalds burgers in the USA, but White House and Obama here we come and the red designer dresses will now have to be bought from Macy's in New York. The "Potters" are already packing and they can only see green dollar bills and the land of opportunity ahead. Beats the hell out of that Beau Vallon slum now doesn't it? Now Marie-Antoinette Rose the new Leader of Government Business (what is that exactly?) must be chomping at the bits to start imposing her rude, obnoxious style into the National Assembly. Look out big Herminie, you have competition.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Poor Conrad Benoiton. They have found another role for him in the hot Sepec seat. The man does change jobs faster than a bullet train, but he need not worry. After all Conrad, James the Great Leader is the Minister of Hydro-Carbon, so you are in good hands. But change your chair and spray the office though, as Captain Adam and his dog might still be haunting the halls of the new oil building for years to come. And look out for Mr. Belle who throws Romanesque parties at La Misere. Just as James Mancham was warned of Albert Rene's plot, the good Captain Adam was warned but did not heed the warning. Traitors amongst the midst. Oh Brutus...</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />

</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Veronique Laporte the Bus Lady and Joel Morgan's side-babe is now moving to Health. Good for her as she has done a good job at SPTC. Let us hope that Mitcy lets Laporte run the show while Mitcy pampers herself a-la-Athanasius at the Aarti Chambers spa. Erna had an open account there and spent many hours each day in total relaxation and massage-land as per her own doctor's recommendations. Don't forget the hair and nails now.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />

</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>And for the final master stroke, the wife of our good Sepec man, Jacqueline Moustache-Belle has been given a second chance, probably due to hubby's spying eyes and whispers to State House. I guess a huge salary, nice office with plush leather chair, nothing to do for months on end is a great reward. Just tell PUC to string a few more lights at night so we do not get mugged my dear. And no worries about who will pay for all of this luxury. Pierre Laporte will find a way. </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>We will not comment any further and will allow you to write with your own thoughts of this "restructuring". But one thing is clear. More Seychellois doctors and nurses will be packing their bags and emigrating as fast as they can. And since we now have several new Ministries, more leather chairs, expensive vehicles, concubines, girlfriends will have to be bought so Minister Laporte or the "Door Minister" should ask for a supplementary budget as soon as possible.

</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Most are knowledgeable of the 40% interest the UAE Abu Dhabi-based carrier Etihad has taken in Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Many have called this a national shame for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. It is a shame. Etihad Managing Director has said that after the acquisition: “Etihad is not considering any other acquisition because its plate is now full with the purchase of Air <st1:state w:st="on">Berlin</st1:state> and Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place>”. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Indeed the Etihad plate is full. It has also negotiated full control of Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, in spite of the ex-national air carrier having only One (1) single Boeing 767-300 that can do international flights. Etihad has placed its own CEO and Chairman at the helm of Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> and they even control the domestic segment of the Air Seychelles company.

</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last week Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> hiked air fares between Mahe and Praslin from SCR 512 (US$ 36) round trip to SCR 1,600 (US$ 112) round trip. The lower rate was a local residential rate, while tourists were already paying the higher rate in hard currency. Now the highway robbery rate applies to residents purchasing tickets under some sort of code. This new rate is not only outrageous, it is ridiculous. In Europe one can purchase a ticket from Heathrow to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Spain</st1:place></st1:country-region> for GBP 20 (UK Pound Sterling). Most of these domestic flights are empty or operate under 50% capacity. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Even Minister of Transport Joel Morgan had no clue the price hike was on the way. Poor Minister Morgan, kept in the dark by his own Frankenstein creation.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the past Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> advertised over Twenty (20) flights to Praslin per day. Today, we are lucky if Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> runs Four (4) flights per day to Praslin. It is doing close to what Cat Cocos does. But the boat carries over 500 people on two trips. Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> can carry 80 passengers on Four(4) trips. Do the numbers and you will know the loss of market share for Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> over the years.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Service Is Just Plain Bad<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The other common gripe with Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> domestic for years now, has been that service is just plain bad. It sucks. It is a bad experience. Delays on Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> are common. Flight cancellations are a regular event. The front desk check-in clerks treat you like you are baggage yourself and rude is a polite pronoun for many of them. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In spite of being advised by management to be polite with travelers, the system they are tasked to run, is patently flawed and they too being human, run out of patience when faced with reoccurring failure of Air Seychelles ability to deliver good service at a fair price.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The other inter-island option for travelers is Cat Cocos. They run a more efficient check in service than Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> domestic. They are even more professional and handle your booking much quicker. On the route, you are offered a choice of seating classes, food, beverages, and even in route DVD and CD entertainment. Even better then Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place>, the seats are clean and laundered regularly. Leatherette seats are available in Lazio class and they do recline. When one takes the delays of inter island Air Seychelles into account, you get to Praslin on Cat Cocos in about the same time as taking Air Seychelles, but it is much cheaper. An economy seat runs for SCR 169 (US$ 12). A Lazio Business seat with food and drinks, cold towel, a smiling hostess and reclining seat costs just SCR 285 or (US$ 20). If you take ten (10) trips, you get one free. On Air <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place>, you can take 1,000 trips, you will not even get a coke for free, but you will be guaranteed one thing: before the 1,000 trip, the ticket price will go up and so will your blood pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It is a reality and it is a pure shame. To clean up this mess which is having a detrimental impact on Praslin and La Digue islands as possible destinations for guests, the time has come </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">for the private sector of Praslin, La Digue, Mahe, Bird Island, Denis Island and other SEYCHELLOIS entrepreneurs to come together and create another airline company to make inter island flight feasible and functional with realistic pricing and rekindle the “Seychellois Spirit” service. This is the only solution at this point to rectify a non-responsive Air </span><st1:country-region style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, to the problems we have been facing with its operations for years now.

<br />
To all our faithful followers and fellow bloggers,<br />
<br />
The management of STAR took a well-deserved break for the holidays, and we thank you all for your patience during the weeks that we did not post.<br />
<br />
More importantly, we stopped posting for a while because there were too many online spies and Party Lepep bloggers who were coming online to disrupt our work, to criticise needlessly and sadly, most were uneducated and could only use swear words to express themselves.<br />
<br />
<img height="320" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxXwgjTkjc9AFAnGXBVJPjrJ2dEa9wDhVBGP7LCbRyU2Viiyvp0WShOtu6" width="240" /> <br />
Bloggers like these we do not need in 2012<br />
<br />
But we are back with a renewed spirit for 2012 and will strive to educate our people on the mismanagement and corruption that is going on under James Michel's government. Our country is facing major economic and social problems and we all need to pull together to rid ourselves of this illegitimate Government. James Michel is not a president for all Seychellois, but has shown clearly that he favours Arab Sheikhs over his own people. <br />
<br />

The end of Air Seychelles under Michel & David Savy David Savy the Big Baby<br />
<br />
The demise of Air Seychelles was planned months ago by Michel, David Savy and Khalifa, and while Etihad is now playing the good samaritan, we all know the full story and why they have acquired a stake in our national airline. Sadly, many of our own Seychellois brothers and sisters, from pilots to ground crew to flight attendants have lost their livelihood and now scrambling to find new employment in a tough job market. Most Party Lepep supporters were not made redundant and it was clear that opposition followers were targeted first. Another black mark on Michel's record, and in the meantime, no one including the SBC-TV has questioned the fiasco and financial disaster orchestrated by David Savy and the smart sycophants that surrounded him during his tenure.<br />
<br />
<img height="320" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQR5JNCup6qoufU-oOv2kdo25ehlw3PTnT0Iq9QbRrE5zHmp2yVlwa84A" width="240" /> <img height="220" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS665i_Jy3q5dSiwoqAeiNj_wvxSqKtFm0ftNJxBDvVr9USeLQ2Evd41Ao" width="320" /><br />
Michel-Not President of all Seychelles Michel's Best Friend - Sheikh Khalifa<br />
<br />
It is quite clear that Etihad will swallow Air Seychelles eventually, from the domestic airline to the eventual management of our Pointe Larue airport operation. But beware as it does not stop at Air Seychelles. Abu Dhabi also has their eyes on Port Victoria and is busy drawing up plans for a "new" Victoria where marinas and new buildings will spring up and owned by "friends of James Michel. Of course, the new Seychelles Coast Guard base recently built by Khalifa, and guarded by Khalifa's UAE soldiers, along with the new boats "donated" by Khalifa, will only be used to protect Michel and Khalifa. The Masdar wind turbines, donated by Khalifa, will soon be turning in the harbour of Port Victoria and will be the new eyesore and blemish on our land; let alone the maintenance costs to be borne by us the good citizens of Seychelles.<br />
<br />

Wind turbines - An eyesore for Port Victoria<br />
<br />
Our Seychelles tankers will soon be "sold" to so-called friends, and our oil fields will soon be in the hands of Arab prospectors. Seychelles Petroleum is on the "privatisation" list as well, and Captain Adam's sudden departure is the first step in that direction. PUC will follow suit and possibly many other parastatals as well.<br />
<br />
<img height="146" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR-JO_vGZbkfU3TYZ8SgIwy2CdNNU0w-WlLiZ7Db6ogcXWfohF5lfCu9w" width="200" /> <img height="98" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTaloDPso8LPIuTlfl0WMpDZBEmoaCTI6OOOY_gTs9DXSilcaO7StgvEjN3" width="200" /> <img height="200" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgZ_EHN0fKl2YhxRNCy91tGJIlTMLOtRRSR-Z_tUukpi6K5Y8MmlrBFko" width="177" /><br />
Captain Adam and his tankers - losing millions and now a burden to our economy - Abu Dhabi bailout?<br />
<br />
The Arabs have also found a new playground not too far from home, and the private planes continue to land at Pointe Larue full of young women flown in specifically for the carnal pleasures of the Arabian princes. The ex-Plantation Hotel is now called Kempinski and is the new Arab Playboy Mansion. Two more large hotels will be built in the South of Mahe, all owned by Arab "friends" of Michel. In the meantime, Khalifa is busy buying up the properties of Indian magnate Siva who has apparently fallen out of favour. From Mahe Beach Hotel to Therese Island and Conception, those will soon be in the hands of the good Sheikh and his family, all courtesy of James Michel and his party of cronies. Large tracts on Praslin and La Digue are also being transferred as we write this post.<br />

Kempinski Seychelles - Playboy Mansion for Arab Princes<br />
<br />
Apart from selling our islands as fast as he can for personal gains, Glenny Savy of IDC is now selling dredged-up sand to the public, and the tons of sand removed just off the shoreline of Beau Vallon will have dire environmental consequences in the future. Coastal erosion has been created by the James Michel Government and not by global warming as Michel so valiantly professes during his myriads of overseas trips. Michel is a liar and will continue to string the world along in order to get a few Euros from a foolish European Parliament and United Nations doomsday agencies, but Michel will not be able to run from the truth in the future. <br />
<br />

The Fat King Glenny of Seychelles - "All islands are mine, and now I sell sand too".<br />
<br />
Michel's tenure as President of Seychelles has been a shambles from day one and marred with disgraceful events. From bankrupting the country to judiciary collusion, from fixed elections to corruption, from the La Misere "Delo Kaka" incident to murders of innocent Seychellois citizens, from prostitution of our nation to the Arabs let alone social demise of our youth via prostitution and drugs, from passport selling scandals to white elephant projects such as the 2011 Expo, the list goes on and on. Sheikh Khalifa's castle on top of La Misere is proof of how low our nation has fallen, and the illegal and ridiculous appointment of David Pierre as Leader of the Opposition, let alone the vengeful case against Ralph Volcere by so-called Judge Matilda Twomey are some of the final nails being hammered into the annals of Michel's coffin.<br />
<br />

Ralph Volcere - Soon to be silenced by the corrupt court of Matilda Twomey, Ronny Govinden & Michel<br />
<br />
Michel is also looking to the Chinese as well to help fund the coffers of Parti Lepep, and Danny Faure the chosen-one to be President is currently in Cuba probably getting a Doctorate Degree in Finance and Bankrupting Countries 101 from his Alma Mater. After all, even Castro has finally admitted that Communism is not the best way forward and Danny wants to learn from the best.<br />

Confused Cuban Trained Dictator in the making<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the good Doctor Ramadoss has been appointed to the Party Lepep Central Committee, an affront in itself given that he cannot speak 2 words of Creole let alone English. <br />
<br />
<img height="200" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZipSug_rJxnj5QMgUxEKMQwqwA49XO5ItcMpmnGr8vMzW-DkWtOnWTg" width="136" /> <img height="200" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRrmH4kTBSoA02e-XpKEiV2AK_ItyFyosCKAGYHdDh-dbQ8PF5EEeKYekH2" width="152" /><br />

Coco-de-Mer stamp found offensive by Arabs<br />
<br />
The Doctor also continues to spend as if rupees are being printed at his Printec Press Holdings. After last year's fist fight with ex-Printec owner and SPPF stalwart Louis Gopal, Ramadoss has now moved into the heavyweight division and recently took on local businessman Joe Albert of UCPS and Creole Travel in a loud screaming match. Soon thereafter, and to spite Joe Albert, the Doctor went out and bought the catamaran "Praslin Express" to compete on the Mahe-Praslin-La Digue ferry route. Not to be outspent, he also doled out nearly 15 million rupees to buy a commercial building from the Soleil family at Hermitage, and then went on to pay millions more for the commercial car wash next to the Victoria Fuel Station. One wonders why the Tax Department or FIU does not investigate the finances of the good Doctor, or his source of funds. Surely the Victoria Casino is not doing that well during this economic downturn? So where is the Doctor getting all those millions to spend? Election money? Or is he fronting for his new Party itself or laundering the funds of the Ministers and other high-ranking Government officials? Or has he finally sold the dilapidated hospital to Mukesh and Albert after taking money illegally from so many unsuspected investors? Or is he bringing back some of the dollars he exported and stashed away in India during the foreign exchange black market crisis, albeit at a higher rate today than it was 5 or 6 years ago? The people want to know.<br />

Seychelles Rupee devaluing by the week<br />
<br />
Tourism is in dire straits, the Euro, Dollar and Pound Sterling have appreciated by 20% or more against the rupee within 6 months, and IMF has finally stopped lying and told us that inflation is over 6%. More like 50% my good friends! A bourgeois (red snapper) now sells for SR 500, if you are lucky enough to get one. Ghurkas from Burma and now English wardens from the Isle of Wight of all places have arrived to guard our prison which is overloaded with Somali pirates awaiting trial or repatriation by our new Chief Pirate Minister Morgan, the most incredible lying Minister that has ever worked in our country.<br />

Joel Morgan - Also known as Minister Lapire (Homebrew), Pirate Minister or Minister Pinnochio the Lying One<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the drug Lords continue to ply their trade under protection from the same people at State House and the Police who were supposed to be protecting the public. Corruption in every department of Government continues unabated. Containers continue to be cleared from the Port on a daily basis without payment of tax and duties, all destined for friends of James Michel and his entourage who are seen flying in First Class and driving around in expensive jeeps.<br />
<br />

First Class on Etihad anyone? What about Emirates? Or Qatar?<br />
<br />
Our passports continue to be given away or sold at an alarming rate to anyone with $25,000 to pay to a Minister or high-ranking friend. Government land is being "sold" to friends and relatives while large tracts are being auctioned to the highest Arab or Russian bidder. Beau Vallon has become the new "Little Russia" and can only be described as an environmental nightmare. Eden Island is the enclave of a white South African "nouvo-riche" breed who believes the island is the new Cape Town, reserved for whites only and where they can treat our own Seychellois locals like "kaffirs" (black South Africans). In summary, we Seychellois have become slaves and second-class citizens in our own country.<br />

Eden Island or Cape Town? Seychellois not welcome.<br />
<br />
My dear friends, 2012 will be another demanding year for us Seychellois people who believe in real democracy and freedom for our people. We urge you all to contribute intelligently to the STAR blog as the best gift you can give to the future generation is to get your friends to read the blog regularly and to start asking questions and demanding answers from our so-called electorate. We need to strive for freedom from the foreigners who are preying on our weak leader Michel, and we need to continue the fight for democracy. It will not happen overnight, but if we work together towards the same cause, we will win eventually and maybe one day we will see the Barry Laine Freedom Train in action from Victoria Station to the Anse Royale Danny-Barry Faure Station.<br />

The speed at which the papers were drafted and filed and a cou<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">rt date identified and delivered at my house was simply out of the ordinary. If all court cases are address in this manner. There would be no criminal in Seychelles. This is a clear move to stop me from publishing articles about the shennanigans of the CA. On Monday they will issue me with a gagging order. I am appealling to everyone fighting for democracy, freedom and justice for Seychelles to come down to court on Monday just before 9am to show support for the cause.

"I never knew our freedom of expression on such a popular social network like Facebook could be violated just coz a few 'untouchables' find it hard to swallow the truth & prefer to act as cowards & use their privileges to use the police to come & intimidate me!<br />
<br />
A sad day indeed & wot a worrying state of affairs in this country if FB is now being policed...just coz the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth hurts! Wot next...FB users will start disappearing under 'mysterious circumstances'"<br />

<br />
The decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of the Popular Democratic Movement is devoid of legal justification and totally ignores the key provisions of the Constitution regarding the matter of the case. In this decision, the Judges of the Court of Appeal, JJ Macgregor, Twomey and Fernando, have not interpreted the Constitution as it exists, they have written their own. These Judges have decided that the wording of the Constitutional amendment is not suitable and they have made their own amendment.<br />
<br />
In its decision, delivered on December 9, 2011, the Court of Appeal found that the PDM was entitled to a proportionally elected seat in the National Assembly from the result of the general election held on October 1, 2011 because it had obtained over 10% of ‘valid votes’. It thus reversed the majority decision of the Constitutional Court given by CJ Egonda-Ntende and J Gaswaga and of the Seychelles Electoral Commission that the Constitution allocates proportionally elected seats on the basis of total ‘votes cast’ . The decisions of these institutions could have been overturned only with clear Constitutional basis which the Court of Appeal has not been able to provide.<br />
<br />
The Constitution makes very clear and specific distinction between the allocation of seats to directly elected members and to proportionally elected members.<br />
<br />
Article 78 of the Constitution states without ambiguity that the allocation of proportionally elected seats shall be as “specified in schedule 4”.<br />
<br />
This Schedule 4 carries the clear tile “Proportionally Elected Members” and deals only with such members. Thus the Constitution clearly sets different rules for the allocation of these seats. The Judges of the Court of Appeal have no basis for saying that the two must be the same.<br />
<br />
This Schedule 4 contains the provision that has been quoted so often and which was the basis of the Judgement of JJ Egonda-Ntende and Gaswaga of the Constitutional Court.<br />
<br />
“A political party which has nominated one or more candidates in a general election and has polled in respect of the candidates in aggregates 10% or more of the votes cast at the election may nominate a proportionally elected member for each 10% of the vote polled. “<br />
<br />
As the two judges of the Constitutional Court stated in their decision, the Constitution has in several instances used the terms ‘votes cast’ and ‘valid votes’ and it is clear that there are two different meanings. ‘Votes cast’ as stated in Schedule 4 is different from ‘valid votes’.<br />
<br />
Votes cast can only mean votes that are put in the box. As CJ Egonda-Ntende stated, this is the only possible interpretation. The action of casting the vote comes before any interpretation of the vote as being valid or not. If a vote is invalid, it does not alter the fact that it has been cast.<br />
<br />
CAJ Fernando’s statement argues that the Constitution could not have intended to recognise that a person would not vote or would cast an invalid vote. But this is precisely what Schedule 4 does.<br />
<br />
The principle of using total ‘votes cast’ may be misguided. If this is so, then we have to go back and change the Constitution. The Judges have no right to ignore what the Constitution says.<br />
<br />
The Judges of the Court of Appeal have fallen back, as Judge Burhan did in the Constitutional Court Case, on the Elections Act, which prescribes a different method of tallying the votes. But it is very clear that the Elections Act does not apply to Proportionally Elected Seats.<br />
<br />
This is how the Elections Act begins:<br />
<br />
Short title and Application 1. (1) This Act may be cited as the Elections Act.<br />
<br />
(2) This Act shall apply for the purposes of: -<br />
<br />
(a) an election of the President<br />
<br />
(b) an election of a directly elected member of the National Assembly<br />
<br />
(c) a referendum.<br />
<br />
The Act does not include ‘Proportionally Elected Members’ in its stated purpose and makes no mention of proportionally elected seats. In seeking to rest their judgement on it, the Judges are grasping thin air.<br />
<br />
The decision of the Court of Appeal, being so weak in legal justification, undermines the credibility of the Judiciary as the guardian of the Constitution and the law. The decision has grave consequences for our democratic system because it allows the composition of a National Assembly that is not according to the Constitution and by that sets aside the wishes of the electorate.<br />
<br />
The Court of Appeal has, in this ill-considered decision, diminished the credibility of the Constitutional Court, of Chief Justice Egenda-Ntende and of the Seychelles Electoral Commission.<br />

In this decision, the Judges of the Court of Appeal, JJ Macgregor, Twomey and Fernando, have not interpreted the Constitution as it exists, they have written their own. These Judges have decided that the wording of the Constitutional amendment is not suitable and they have made their own amendment. </span></span></span><br />

It thus reversed the majority decision of the Constitutional Court given by CJ Egonda-Ntende and J Gaswaga and of the Seychelles Electoral Commission that the Constitution allocates proportionally elected seats on the basis of total ‘votes cast’ .

<br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">The Constitution makes very clear and specific distinction between the allocation of seats to directly elected members and to proportionally elected members. </span><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Article 78 of the Constitution states without ambiguity that the allocation of proportionally elected seats shall be as “specified in schedule 4”. </span><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">This Schedule 4 carries the clear tile “Proportionally Elected Members” and deals only with such members. Thus the Constitution clearly sets different rules for the allocation of these seats. The Judges of the Court of Appeal have no basis for saying that the two must be the same.</span><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">This Schedule 4 contains the provision that has been quoted so often and which was the basis of the Judgement of JJ Egonda-Ntende and Gaswaga of the Constitutional Court.</span><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">“A political party which has nominated one or more candidates in a general election and has polled in respect of the candidates in aggregates 10% or more of the votes cast at the election may nominate a proportionally elected member for each 10% of the vote polled. “</span><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">As the two judges of the Constitutional Court stated in their decision, the Constitution has in several instances used the terms ‘votes cast’ and ‘valid votes’ and it is clear that there are two different meanings. ‘Votes cast’ as stated in Schedule 4 is different from ‘valid votes’. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Votes cast can only mean votes that are put in the box. As CJ Egonda-Ntende stated, this is the only possible interpretation. The action of casting the vote comes before any interpretation of the vote as being valid or not. If a vote is invalid, it does not alter the fact that it has been cast.</span><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">CAJ Fernando’s statement argues that the Constitution could not have intended to recognise that a person would not vote or would cast an invalid vote. But this is precisely what Schedule 4 does. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br />

<br style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">The principle of using total ‘votes cast’ may be misguided. If this is so, then we have to go back and change the Constitution. The Judges have no right to ignore what the Constitution says. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Seychelles Freedom Party<br />
<br />
Press Conference Round Table of Political Parties Seychelles<br />
<br />
Boycott result of National Assembly has exposed deep challenges for the democratic experiment for the Seychelles.<br />
<br />
After the Boycott results, parties asked what next. Seychelles Freedom Party called for round table dialogue with all parties to chart a course forward.<br />
<br />
International organizations such as the Commonwealth, Francophonie SADC have urged the government to move forward with “DEMOCRATIC REFORMS” and the Commonwealth in its last report on the May 2011 Presidential elections said” ….after Eighteen (18) years of multi-partism….the Seychelles is yet to make a complete democratic transition”.<br />
<br />
Mr. Michel has written to the Election Commission and given the commission mandate to implement “ELECTORAL REFORMS”.<br />
<br />
Seychelles Freedom Party welcomes the call for a round table by the Election Commission. We have attended these meetings with the Election Commission and present have been PL represented by Mr. Simon Gill, cc member. SNP has sent Wavel Ramkalawan. DP has sent Ralph Volcere. PDM has attended with Mr. David Pierre.<br />
<br />
The mandate of the Election Commission is to assess the need for electoral reforms and make recommendations to Government.<br />
<br />
Electoral Reforms are only one small part of DEMOCRATIC REFORMS recommended by the SADC Commonwealth, Francophonie.<br />
<br />
The Government of Seychelles has yet to propose a mechanism to move forward with DEMOCRATIC REFORMS, which is much needed in Seychelles today, after Eighteen years of collective neglect of the SPPF PL and SNP in this area.<br />
<br />
Examples of abrogation of the Constitution of the 3rd Republic we have to deal with are:<br />
<br />
1. Preamble of Constitution insures individual rights are best protected by a democratic pluralist system;<br />
<br />
2. Chapter II Curtails the granting of citizenship and we have seen a proliferation of citizenship being granted under the Immigration decree, a one party state law still in place;<br />
<br />
3. Provisions to protect from unlawful arrest, detention, without reasonable suspicion has been abrogated;<br />
<br />
4. Freedom of Expression under threat;<br />
<br />
5. Right to Assemble, abrogated by inaction for over 18 years;<br />
<br />
6. Freedom of Movement, restricted on access to beaches;<br />
<br />
7. Right to Use and Enjoyment of Property, abrogated;<br />
<br />
8. Equal Protection has not been respected and has been abrogated<br />
<br />
throughout the last 18 years;<br />
<br />
9. The Right To Information abrogated by no FREEDOM OF<br />
<br />
INFORMATION ACT in place.<br />
<br />
10. State recognizes Right to Health Care- Good health care beyond WHO<br />
<br />
minimal standards.<br />
<br />
11. Right To Shelter has been promised but not delivered to all Seychellois<br />
<br />
only to party supporters;<br />
<br />
12. Fundamental duty of all citizens uphold defend constitution and<br />
<br />
Implement preamble.<br />
<br />
13. Article 49 Interpretation of “Democratic Society”.<br />
<br />
14. Article 84 (1) There shall be a Leader of the Opposition who shall be elected from members of the National Assembly.<br />
<br />
15. Executive authority of the Republic vests in the Executive.<br />
<br />
16. New amendment “Collective responsibility of Cabinet” abrogates Freedom of Expression and Right to hold beliefs contrary to others, Freedom of Association.<br />
<br />
17. Article 94 (1) (3)…..The Speaker shall, after consultation with the President and the Leader of the Opposition, determine the order of priority for the presentation of bills to the National Assembly.<br />
<br />
18. Article 105(1) provides for salary of Leader of the Opposition.<br />
<br />
The proper course of conduct after the results of the election where no party in the opposition participated and PDM obtained less then 10% of the vote to get a seat in the National Assembly, should have been NULL AND VOID the results because it did not meet the minimal mandatory requirements the Constitution of Seychelles.<br />
<br />
By proceeding, in action the Election Commission which has validated the results, and the National Assembly, which has sworn itself in without an opposition, has as well ABROGATED the Constitution of Seychelles.<br />
<br />
The proper course of action at this time, to rectify this political malaise, is to open dialogue with all parties, but with engagement of high level officials at the Secretary General and Leadership level, to chart a course forward to reassess the Constitution and adopt necessary reforms in light with democratic best practice.<br />
<br />
Meetings must be public and open, contributions accepted from all stakeholders, and the final proposed democratic reforms that concern the Constitution be submitted to the people of Seychelles for REFERANDUM approval.<br />
<br />
Laws that have to be amended must also be quick listed and so submitted to a new National Assembly for approval.<br />
<br />
The existing National Assembly is Ultra Vires and does not meet the minimal requirements of a pluralistic democratic house as required under the Preamble of the Constitution and relevant provisions cited earlier.<br />
<br />
We call on Mr. Michel, to set our democratic house in order. We have many challenges ahead, and we cannot face them as a divided country.<br />
<br />
In line with this, we must all never forget the overriding principle that has taken our people to where they are today: SESEL POU SESELWA!</span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://starseychelles.blogspot.com/</div>STAR - Seychelles Truth And Realityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17084561233022737376noreply@blogger.com52tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943116809618181047.post-34822655071988646102011-12-08T15:07:00.000+04:002011-12-08T15:07:24.622+04:00AIR SEYCHELLES EX-CEO DAVID SAVY RENDERS HIS VERSION<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Air Seychelles Demise as per ex-CEO David Savy (taken off Facebook)</span></b><br />

This is when we at the airline went out aggressively to look for acmi charters in 2009. We were successful and we actually had more demand than what we could effectively do. The first was the Falklands in Feb 2010 then the Mozambique, however the Mozambique was to start in April 2011 as we could not start earlier due to crew training etc... From April to November 2010 we had registered a loss of € 4 million and cash-flow was tight . We needed a line of credit from the banks to see us through till the Mozambique charter started. Those loses were expected as EK and QR had doubled their frequencies and our market share was decreasing rapidly. No surprises. Ministry of Finance were concerned that the IMF would not allow borrowings by HM and the board of Air Seychelles was changed late December 2010 and the PS Finance, Mr Afif became the vice Chairman of the board to ensure that changes were implemented and that the airline brought back into profit.</span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://starseychelles.blogspot.com/</div>STAR - Seychelles Truth And Realityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17084561233022737376noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943116809618181047.post-84069594723711545992011-11-24T12:41:00.000+04:002011-11-24T12:41:00.795+04:00DESTINATION ABU DHABI ONCE AGAIN FOR PRESIDENT MICHEL<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;">SEYCHELLES PRESIDENT - OFF TO ABU DHABI AGAIN</span></b><br />
<br />
President Michel has flown to Abu Dhabi (his second home) to inaugurate the first diplomatic mission and tourist office in the United Arab Emirates. He is accompanied by Jean-Paul Adam the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alain St. Ange CEO of Seychelles Tourist Board and of course an entourage of bodyguards. <br />
<br />

<b><i>President Michel Jean-Paul Adam Alain St. Ange</i></b><br />
<br />
Good old faithful Ambassador Dick Esparon awaits the delegation in his plush, rent-free furnished office, courtesy of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, also known as the new Ruler of Seychelles, the Ruler of the Kingdom of La Misere on Mahe, the Ruler of the Seychelles Coast Guards, the Ruler of the Seychelles Desalination Plants and Electricity Grid, the Ruler of the Radiology Centre and ex-Victoria Hospital (now called Seychelles Hospital to please the good Sheikh), the Ruler of Victoria Urban Planning Development and of course the Ruler of our Immigration Department (by decree to remove our Coco-de-Mer stamp from the Seychelles Passport as he found it offensive).<br />
<br />

<br />
<i><b>Sheikh Khalifa - Ruler of Abu Dhabi and the Seychelles / The offensive Coco-de-Mer Seed</b></i><br />
<br />
In 2012, wind turbines donated by our Ruler Sheikh will be churning wind into electricity right at the entrance of Port Victoria. We wonder who will pay for the maintenance of those Masdars Don Quixote windmills? And what a wonderful aesthetic sight this will be for our tourists on their way to visiting a once pristine marine park. Eyesore galore! But who cares about our beautiful Victoria Harbour, as it will soon change its name to "The Khalifa Harbour"? Lest we forget, the urban planners in Abu Dhabi are working diligently to develop a new design for our small capital Victoria, courtesy of the generous Sheikh. Will it still be called Victoria? Who knows? But what we do know is that a new mosque to house thousands of Islam followers is already on the plan, and the huge speakers to be installed in the minaret will be bigger than our clock tower so that the sound can dwarf our Catholic church bells. But this good-hearted Sheikh not only lords over us and our sycophant President, but he loves our country so much that he is now making it his own. Joe Samy's "Victoria, la klos St. Fidel" will soon be history, along with any remnants of the British Empire to make way for our new Arab Ruler.<br />
<br />

<b><i>Wind turbines for Victoria Harbour. Bye Bye Old "Far" Lighthouse</i></b><br />
<br />
Hopefully, during South-East monsoon, the wind turbines will blow the foul tuna-canning factory smell towards the new Sheikh Khalifa Coast Guard Centre, and we hope this does not disturb the Imam in the minaret and the prayers at the new Coast Guard mosque and canteen which can no longer serve pork. During North-West monsoon, we hope that the turbines will blow the smell away from the Providence rubbish dump site up towards the hills of La Misere where the chic Sheikh has build his castle. After all, the Sheikh caused the "Delo Kaka" incident while he was building the monstrosity on top of La Misere whilst breaking all the Housing and Planning regulations, so maybe he can get a "taste" or at least a smell of his own medicine in the coming years. Revenge is sweet.<br />

<b><i>Sheikh Khalifa's Castle on top of La Misere, Mahe, Seychelles - Our landscape ruined forever</i></b><br />
<br />
Meanwhile, back in Victoria Seychelles, Barclays Bank has announced restrictions on foreign exchange and as Joel Morgan the Minister of Lapire told us last week during his shady Air Seychelles fiasco interview, foreign exchange is becoming scarce as Air Seychelles was draining the country's coffers. A bunch of lies as usual, but I guess one can forgive the Pinnochio Minister as it is his usual style to lie to the people and place blame elsewhere. His nose is now longer than the Sheikh's robe.<br />

<br />
One wonders how much foreign exchange President Michel and entourage took with them to Abu Dhabi? Or is the generous Sheikh Khalifa footing the bill? I also wonder if the first class tickets on Etihad were free, or if they were paid for by the Seychellois taxpayers.<br />
<br />
In summary, I quote a blogger who recently posted this comment on our STAR Seychelles site:<br />

Yeah yeah yeah.... A few months too late don't you think, given that the Presidential and Legislative Assembly elections are now over.<br />

Gappy, you are as corrupt as your master James Michel. The lack of democratic and electoral reforms in Seychelles is due to your colluding with Michel and Party Lepep.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt;">Last Saturday afternoon in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Victoria</st1:place></st1:state>,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>an aide to President James Michel visited a priest at the Catholic cathedral. She</span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> told the Bishop that the President would be attending the next day's Mass, and she asked if the priest would kindly point him out to the congregation and say a few good words that would include calling James a saint.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt;">The Priest replied, "No. I don't really like the man, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of his views. Plus, he took part in the violent Coup D'etat that killed people, including the brother of an Anglican priest. He also tried very hard to destroy the church and also got rid of all the nuns at Regina Mundi convent and the Brothers of Christian Instruction at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">College</st1:placetype></st1:place>. This president is an atheist and only pretends to be a Catholic."</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">James' aide then said, "Look, I will write a cheque here and now for a donation of SR500,000 to the church if you'll just tell the congregation you see President Michel as a saint."</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The good priest thought about it and said, "Well, the Church can definitely use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt;">As the aide promised, President Michel appeared for the Sunday worship and seated himself prominently at the forward left side of the centre aisle, along with soon to be wife number three and a few red-eyed, tequila-smelling ministers in tow.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt;">As the Bishop promised, at the start of his sermon he pointed out that Mr. Michel was present. T</span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">he Bishop went on to explain to the congregation: </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">"<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">While President Michel's presence is probably an honour to some, the man is not numbered among my personal favourite personages. Some of his most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and he tends to flip-flop on many other issues. He is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb-sucker, and a nit-wit. He is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, President Michel is the worst example of a Christian I have ever personally witnessed. He is corrupt and has used State money to lie to the people just to remain in power. He also has a reputation for liking Muslims over his own Seychellois kind and shirking his representative obligations. He does not believe in justice and is more corrupt than Rene and Mukesh put together. The man is simply not to be trusted and I believe he might be a converted Muslim based on the number of visits to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Abu Dhabi lately</st1:place></st1:city></span></i>."</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />
The Bishop concluded, ”<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">But, compared to <st1:personname w:st="on">Joel Morgan</st1:personname>, the man is definitely a Saint.</span></i>" </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />

The <st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region> is outfitting men trained in security, to place on ships going through the <st1:place w:st="on">Gulf of Aden</st1:place> under private security arrangements.

At $1,000.00 per day, per security personnel, this means big bucks are being made in our waters and PL has been asleep over the matter. For years I have written on the matter, but now, with the attacks in Lamu, Kenya recently and others, the matter is not an issue merely income generation or cost cutting to outfit our own companies with our own people, to earn money. The pirates now are attacking land beach positions and taking tourists from their rooms. With such bold aggression before us, we must outfit our own people to stand a chance against these pirates.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">The delegation James Michel received on our behalf was bigger than a football team.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">It was an amazing display of the Michel’s friends coming to his aid, as he has forsaken our own people <span> </span>into contributing in a valuable manner, on the development of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Victoria</st1:place></st1:state>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />

All the makkets and props were stuffed in a corner collecting dust. Sr. 20 Million in expenses and now it all collects dust. No follow up. Just a fancy show, parade everyone in, lights, action, put on a show, then puff, shut it down, collect the money, run like hell! And don't forget Danny Faure just went to the Assembly to ask for some Sr. 2 plus million rupees to pay for the Expo electricity bill. Talk about taking the Seychellois people for fools!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Why has James Michel not had qualified Seychellois contribute to a master plan and do it? That may sound like a hair brained idea to Mr. Michel, but it sounds like a reasonable and highly plausible idea to many Seychellois. We are not all meant to carry guns and shoot at our fellow brothers and sisters. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Some of us, can actually develop a master plan. Some could probably do it better then <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Abu Dhabi</st1:place></st1:city>. One question though, I must ask Mr. Michel, what makes Abu Dhabi people qualified to do this job and Seychellois, not? You know, I use to write papers for these chaps in university. I am a Seychellois. Surely, we have capable <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> who can do this job? Lablache? Payet? Didon? Ernesta?

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Mr. Michel recently took over the Tourism portfolio. But he has not done much with it and we have not seen him do much with it except to increase State House' travel budget at the expense of taxpapers money. It is depressing to say the least. If anything, he has helped to destroy Tourism since he took over. It has been in my opinion, a little like the boy taking a toy and smashing it into a wall because he did not know how to wind it up. To make Tourism work, all players need to be engaged in a real way, and the playing field must not be said to be level, but it must actually be so. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">Our most important Ministry needs a leader with vision, not a President who thinks he knows it all. Why does he not simply hand over the tourism portfolio over to Alain St. Ange who is doing all the work anyway? Surely St. Ange cannot do any worse than Michel. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Surprisingly, many people do not know that Mr. Michel has taken over the portfolio for Planning, Lands and Land Use and Habitat. It is here where, we must be afraid, be very afraid, because Mr. Michel will sell anything he can likely, under his “Sesel Pou ARAB”- policy! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">But Michel's know-it-all and Arab-loving policies will surely backfire one day in the future as the Seychellois people have been watching the Arab Spring with great passion and are simply tired of being lied and manipulated. The death of Gadhafi on Thursday is a grim reminder of what happens to despotic and corrupt leaders who believe a country, its people and its resources belong to them. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><br />

I assume that's the ability to screech louder and "suck" better than all members of her own disturbed party. To add insult to injury, she stated that these 31 jokers will now be remembered as the Assembly who will carry out DEMOCRATIC REFORMS! Seriously Marie-Lou, which planet do you come from?</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">In his letter to President Sirleaf, President Michel extended congratulations from the people and government of Seychelles, describing the award as a reminder for the international community of its duties towards building a culture of peace:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">“Your winning of the Nobel Peace Prize is testimony to your unwavering courage, tenacity, depth of commitment, and </span><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">the leadership you have shown in advancing the noble ideals of peace and national reconciliation in your country</span></u></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">The President added that, given the award was shared by three women, it paid tribute to the role women have consistently played in advancing the ideals of peace, freedom, and equality:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">“I strongly believe that your winning of the Nobel Peace Prize is also a victory for women’s rights, human rights, and democracy: the three major components of the winning formula for any country that seeks growth and positive social transformation.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">In his congratulatory letter to Former President Pires, the President celebrated the recognition of the good governance practices being showcased by small island states, adding that the prize was a strong endorsement of the stability and prosperity evident in the Republic of Cape Verde:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">“Too often the situation of small islands is marginalized in international forums. We are pleased that this award gives further recognition to island states and also provides a further platform for the defense of issues of critical importance for islands including climate change, the need for a fairer development framework for SIDS, as well as the need for continental developmental programs to also take into account the specific needs of SIDS.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2f2f2f;">The President concluded by describing both presidents as forces for peace and development for their countries, continent, and for the wider international community.</span><div style="color: #2f2f2f;">MEDIA CONTACT: Alain St.Ange, CEO, Seychelles Tourism Board, Email: <a href="mailto:alain.s@seychelles.com" style="color: #c2691e; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">alain.s@seychelles.com</a></div></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Michel, when are you going to learn from others? When are you going to learn the "noble ideals of peace", let alone "national reconciliation" in your own country? Well, my own guess is NEVER since you have not apologised to the people of Seychelles for your participation in the 1977 Coup D'Etat let alone the murder of your own people! "Peace and national reconciliation" will only see the light of day when Michel and Rene are both laid to rest at the Mont Fleuri cemetary plot reserved for politicians of their kind.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The National Assembly elections last weekend has confirmed that <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Seychelles</place></country-region>, under James Alix Michel, is now in a one party state officially. The PL won all seats in the National Assembly with a 50% poll and PDM fielded a desperate 7.4% and failed to get even one seat on a proportional basis because the high number of spoilt ballots exceeded 16,500. The high number of no shows as well, in response to the UNITED BOYCOTT campaign pressed David Pierre’s allegedly rouge opposition party back into the Pandora’s Box where it came from. <city w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Pierre</place></city> even forgot to remove his sunglasses on his cap and head, though it was after midnight. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">There were more voters that did not vote for PL which includes spoilt votes, non voters, then those that did vote for PL . Hence, they do not rule with a majority, but they do hold every single seat in National Assembly. This is very communist. It calls for the drafting of a new constitution to reflect the reality that every voice counts. The 3<sup>rd</sup> Republic has become exposed as being dysfunctional after years and years of cover up by SPPF and SNP leadership.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The PL leadership openly displayed their facial grief on SBC as the results were made Public, when it was announced that their apparent grandiose plan to field a fake opposition, millions of rupees later, apparently, had failed miserably. This is a political BACKFIRE of the highest quality!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Michel even said, he would have liked to have an opposition to debate with since <place w:st="on"><city w:st="on">Pierre</city></place> indicated he would be debating in a responsible manner to Michel’s satisfaction.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">You do not get comments that can be more communist then this. It shows how <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Seychelles</place></country-region> has been living in the one party state in Michel’s mind, all along.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The lack of an opposition now means the PL have caused <place w:st="on"><country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</country-region></place> to be labeled a one party autocrat state officially. This is the same title that graced <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Seychelles</place></country-region> from 1977-1991 under Rene’s one party state. This dubious title, now makes <place w:st="on"><country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</country-region></place> under James Michel, a regional pariah, for failing, in due course, over the last Eighteen (18) years, to implement the democratic reforms, electoral reforms, and freedom promised by F. A. Rene, but never delivered by James Michel. Ironically, only James Michel autocrat “grace” can now move the country forward if we are to avoid as one PL said: “civil war”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Most recently, James Michel was appearing on SBC to be very arrogant and authoritative. We saw him more often then we saw the news presenters themselves. One party state tactics were started to be used again, under his presidency. Example, State House thugs regularly call and harass Freedom Party staff over the good work we are doing to bring unity of purpose in the opposition, and change in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Seychelles</place></country-region>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The incidences are so numerous, it is not worth mentioning in an article, I would need a Excel spreadsheet to list them all. We will start listing them, and seek damages for them, and seek Michel’s public commitment that it shall also stop, before we move on.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">With no opposition, key provisions of the Constitution of Seychelles cannot be operative. The PL will now have no one to debate with as I promised would happen. They will now debate with themselves. As such, it will be conclusive that the one party state culture is alive and well in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">Seychelles</place></country-region>, until we destroy it permanently or it destroys the Communists. The choice is now yours Mr. Michel and communist company. </span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Shame has taken a new level for James Michel, who at one point tried to pass F.A. Rene off as a dictator with the diplomatic corps and in private and passed himself off as a reformer , democrat and admirer of the free world. He distant himself with Rene, by whining down meetings with Rene, and saying: “Michel has his own style” in the early days of his assuming the Presidency. I cannot argue with that.

font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 1.25em; margin-left: 1.25em; margin-right: 1.25em; margin-top: 1.25em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1.25em; padding-right: 1.25em; padding-top: 1.25em;">“In the New Seychelles we shall continue to put in place and strengthen our legal and institutional frameworks to ensure the progress of our democracy. It is my aim to improve on our achievements and to reinforce the rule of law, good governance and transparency.”</blockquote><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">This seemed to suggest that Michel was willing to go ahead with reforms and wanted to improve democracy in Seychelles. Of course, talking about change is not enough. Michel's own government launched a <a href="http://www.nation.sc/index.php?art=12021" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline;">Constitutional Reform Committee</a> in 2008 shortly after the last round of elections which promised much and resulted in little. As a consequence the 2011 elections were were characterised by failures similar to those in the 2006 and 2007 elections.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">But Michel has moved more quickly this time. Within weeks of the presidential election a new bill was tabled to create an electoral commission. The bill was presented to the National Assembly but rejected by opposition leader Wavel Ramkalawan and his party, the Seychelles National Party (SNP). However, in a dramatic series of events one member of the SNP - <a href="http://www.nationalassembly.sc/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=367:hon-jane-carpin&catid=72:proportionately-elected-members&Itemid=27" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline;">Jane Carpin</a> - crossed the floor to give Parti Lepep the 2/3 of the vote it needed to pass the bill. Michel then tried to dissolve the assembly, again using Carpin's vote to get the number of votes required. But dissolution was temporarily delayed by two appeals to the Constitutional Court arguing that a vote for dissolution had to be scheduled in advance of the vote itself so that members of the assembly could make sure they were present to vote. The appeals were upheld, but a subsequent scheduled vote for dissolution still passed, again with Carpin's vote. This happened despite the fact that Ramkalawan tried to have Carpin removed as a member of the assembly on the grounds that she was chosen by the SNP to be one of their proportionally elected seats rather than being directly elected to the assembly.</div><h3 style="color: black; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">A closer look at the 6th Amendment Bill 2011</h3></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Rounded', 'Arial Rounded', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">In a detailed <span class="aptureLink " id="apture_prvw2" style="border-bottom-left-radius: 4px 4px; border-bottom-right-radius: 4px 4px; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-left-radius: 4px 4px; border-top-right-radius: 4px 4px; border-top-width: 0px !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;"><span class="aptureLinkIcon" style="background-image: url(http://cdn.apture.com/media/imgs/link_icons.gif?v12) !important; background-position: 100% -448px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat !important; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 11px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;"> </span><a class="aptureLink snap_noshots" href="http://www.thecommonwealth.org/files/238852/FileName/SeychellesCETreport25May2011-Final.pdf" style="border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; color: black; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; float: none !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline;">independent observer report</a></span> the Commonwealth Expert Team elaborated on its recommendation to put in place an electoral commission:</div><blockquote style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 1.25em; margin-left: 1.25em; margin-right: 1.25em; margin-top: 1.25em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1.25em; padding-right: 1.25em; padding-top: 1.25em;">"[O]ur concern is that while [government officials] may very well go through the exercise of establishing such a Commission in fulfilment of our recommendation, the appointees to the Commission must be from a broad cross-section of stakeholders and the appointment process must also be, and be seen to be, a truly independent process."</blockquote><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Whether the appointees to the Commission are "from a broad cross-section of stakeholders" can be questioned. Hendrick Gappy was picked to lead the Commission, and although it will undoubtedly benefit from his experience, a completely fresh start might have been helpful to make sure the appointment process is "seen to be" truly independent. Unfortunately, an in-depth analysis of the independence of each member of the Commission is beyond the scope of this article.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It is important in the long-term to look at how members of the Commission are chosen and whether this is an independent process. This is set out in s.2 (f) of the <a href="http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:NIoIDfYhtFYJ:www.egov.sc/web/download.aspx?ID%3D245+Seychelles+6th+Amendment+Bill+2011&hl=en&gl=uk&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShtDgpl-LReEBeVjoJQ8LKfbiHtevdAL2F-0pv-pOGGv8a96A0xoHFE3jw-WodDCgdgl8MyEDPH-QwVtGASHlJ9A-I-mhPI4wXRdNfmuncaifKv3MKmELNTR9wWgOcwmP4c9Get&sig=AHIEtbQnbcyq04vor7fZpikfPTingaJJIg&pli=1" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline;">6th Amendment Bill 2011</a> which gives a replacement for Art 115 of the Constitution. The relevant substitute section (S.115 A. (1)) states:</div><blockquote style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 1.25em; margin-left: 1.25em; margin-right: 1.25em; margin-top: 1.25em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 1.25em; padding-right: 1.25em; padding-top: 1.25em;">"The Commission shall consist of a Chairperson and four Members all of whom shall be appointed by the President selected from seven candidates … proposed by the Constitutional Appointments Authority …"</blockquote><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The Constitutional Appointments Authority consists of three members, one of whom is chosen by the President and one by the leader of the opposition. Those two members then agree on a chairman - although if no agreement can be made by the members then the president can <a href="http://www.bas.sc/seychelles-legal-system/the-constitutional-appointments-authority" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline;">choose and appoint the chairman</a> himself. It should be apparent that this process gives the president effective control over a majority of appointments to the Constitutional Appointments Authority should he desire it.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The Constitutional Appointments Authority then proposes seven members for the Electoral Commission and the president has a veto over two members (or 30%) of proposed candidates. No veto is given to members of any other party.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">From this it seems the process of choosing who will be on the Electoral Commission is compromised at two levels of the selection process, so the substantive reform in the 6th Amendment Bill does not appear to live up to Michel's claims that he will "reinforce the rule of law, good governance and transparency". The reality of reform seems to have been lost along the way.</div><h3 style="color: black; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">How the bill came to be passed</h3><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It was important to independent observers that the appointment process of the Commission was "seen to be" independent. This ties in with a current problem in Seychelles - the belief that politics is corrupt and a resulting scepticism and fear that <a href="http://thinkafricapress.com/seychelles/seychelles-democracy-without-freedom" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: underline;">reduces democratic legitimacy</a> in the country. We should, therefore, also look at whether the bill is seen to be fair, as well as whether it is fair.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The bill was introduced to the National Assembly and passed with no support from the opposition, except for Carpin. This makes it look like the bill was forced through the assembly rather than passing with unified political will. The lack of support also suggests that a reasonable number of people may think that the bill is unfair. Both of these factors, the apparent force and the lack of support, undermine the image of the bill as fair.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Subsequent political fighting and infighting has also marred perception of the bill. The reaction from Ramkalawan, trying to remove Carpin from the Assembly, and the actions of Carpin herself can both be called into question and serve to make recent events about politics and power rather than substantive reform. Neither the bill, nor the way the bill was made into law, seems to embody a spirit of transparency, good governance, or fairness.</div><h3 style="color: black; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 25px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Dissolution of the National Assembly</h3><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The content of the 6th Amendment Bill, and the way it came into force, could be excused as merely unfortunate; an example of parties failing to work together effectively and not considering the implications of their actions. At the very least a case could be made that both parties, and individuals such as Carpin, were trying to do what they thought was right in the national interest.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It is more difficult to say the same thing about the dissolution of the assembly.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">After succeeding in passing the bill to create a new electoral commission Michel chose to try to dissolve the National Assembly. It is difficult to understand why Michel may have thought dissolving the assembly could be in the national interest.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It could be argued that the Assembly was ineffective due to the SNP's resistance to taking part in the legislative process after the results of the presidential elections which it deemed unfair. However, from Michel's point of view it is still difficult to see why dissolution was the best option for the country. If Michel believes that effectiveness of the Assembly rests in making the laws he believes are right then he should have been content: he could pass laws with his party and the support of Jane Carpin. Perhaps Michel believes it is important to have a rigorous opposition to fuel debate about the laws that are made. But this is a difficult argument to make given that no opposition is adequately prepared to fight an election. Dissolving the Assembly and having an election now will not produce at atmosphere of greater debate. Instead, with the SNP boycotting and several smaller parties likely to split the SNP votes, the Assembly is likely to end up more one-sided than before and with less debate.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">So why dissolve the assembly? The obvious answer is in order to win. Michel may have believed that he could guarantee quick and easy victory with a forced election now. A divided opposition has completely collapsed. In its place are several small parties which will fight over and split the votes which would have gone to the SNP, leaving Parti Lepep with a large majority.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The problem with this is not so much the fact that there may have been political reasons at the heart of the decision to dissolve the Assembly. The greater problem is Michel's portrayal of himself as trying to reform the electoral process. How does holding a quick election fit in with Michel's stated desire to reform Seychelles politics into something more democratic, fair and transparent? After elections in 2006 and 2007 Michel promised reform. He failed to deliver. After the presidential elections this year he promised reform and delivered a questionable bill for a new electoral commission. But within days of passing the bill the assembly was dissolved and another election had been forced. Realistically, 90 days is not enough time for a commission to effectively plan and oversee an election.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The single reform which was put in place has therefore been rendered practically ineffective for the current election, even leaving aside all questions of whether the commission is inherently compromised. Yet again an entire electoral cycle will have passed with no effective electoral reform. It therefore has to be questioned whether Michel wants elections that he runs in to be democratically transparent. By Monday we will have to wait another five years - half a decade, until 2016 - for the people of Seychelles to have another chance to speak.</div><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Calling an election because you may win is not undemocratic. But if Michel thought electoral reforms were important, surely he would make sure they were cemented before the election. If he thought the check provided by an opposition party was important he would allow an opposition time to prepare rather than guaranteeing himself five years with a weaker opposition than he has now. The election may not be entirely undemocratic, but the way it has come about raises questions about whether Michel is sincere in speeches where he presents himself as holding democracy and the national interest above all else. He is a politician, and self interest, perhaps, still comes first.</div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Rounded', 'Arial Rounded', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><h3 style="background-image: none; border-bottom-color: rgb(168, 168, 168); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: medium; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: medium; color: black; font-size: 0.917em; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">About the Author</h3><a href="http://thinkafricapress.com/author/ben-carson" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Ben Carson" src="http://thinkafricapress.com/sites/default/files/styles/author_photo/public/ben%20carson%20photo.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-style: initial; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; cursor: pointer; float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 8px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px;" title="Ben Carson" /></a><div class="clearfix" style="display: block;"><div class="user-name" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px;"><a content="Ben Carson" href="http://thinkafricapress.com/author/ben-carson" property="dc:creator" rel="foaf:publications" style="color: black; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" typeof="foaf:person">Ben Carson</a></div><div class="user-job-title" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.917em; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 5px;">Head of Communications and Public Relations</div><div class="user-bio"><div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Ben Carson is Head of Communications and Public Relations at Think Africa Press.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Under the new process, and hacked powers of the CAA, the CAA appoints Seven (7) persons to the Commission. Then the CAA must submit the names to the President of the Republic, in this case, James Michel, a habitual presidential candidate. The President, then selects Five (5) persons to his choosing. This means he overrides Two(2) CAA recommendations, and the CAA selections become subservient to the President of the Republic.

Constitutional cases involve fundamental human rights or fundamental inter relationships between the citizen and a constitutional branch of government. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">One case involved the case of Mr. Viral Dhanjee who was sidelined as a presidential candidate by the Electoral Commissioner. Mr. Dhanjee is asking the Courts to prescribe a remedy to their past ruling in his favor. It is a stickling point, that has the <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Constitutional Court</st1:address></st1:street> caught with its pants down, meddling and co-conspiring with the Executive Branch to uphold the results of the presidential election, or scrap the same. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><img height="133" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQG717jUXB-6vMgxS5gWUvJtnN0XSl4SZEleF0VJIcCL403DqTwl99NH_o" width="200" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;"><o:p><i>Viral Dhanjee (left)</i></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt;">Because Mr. Dhanjee’s case involves fundamental human rights, it must be followed carefully, because eventually, he may make it before the UN Commission of Human Rights, and cause great embarrassment to the communist government in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The fact that his presence has not gone under protest as the Speakers Consul is unprecedented in itself. Additionally, the ex –Speaker was not present to hear his own case. It leaves freedom minded members of the public dumbfounded. But on the other side of the coin, it also confirms we are in fact in a one party authoritarian totalitarian state. Under this type of system things only get worse, and you will very likely not even be able to form a political party. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">The Seychelles Tourism Board, under the suggestion of the private sector embarked on the drafting of a Master Plan For Tourism last year. Would you believe that after Forty (40) years of Tourism, Thirty-Four (34) of which have been under one communist regime, we did not have a Master Plan for Tourism.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">I am not making this up, this is the reality of the predicament of the country. Believe it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">It is too late to cry over spilled milk and wallow in self pity as we wonder what kind of money we could have generated with a proper growth plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">As the STB green paper (meaning discussion paper) makes the rounds and all sectors of the Tourism Industry are consulted and government, I ask the communist to show some humility because they have royally screwed up the Seychelles Tourism Industry by not having a master plan for Thirty –Four (34) years.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">With no plan in place, it means the communists have been making decisions that concern Tourism, well, to put it lightly: <b>“from an un</b> <b>informed basis”.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">If you are a hotel owner or worker in the Industry, and you have looked at your beautiful room and excellent product and wondered why is this fantastic product, on a fantastic location in paradise,- empty, you can blame the lack of foresight and lack of planning on the communists in the past for the reason why the rooms stayed empty.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">As <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> went bankrupt in 2008, they were busy calling for more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to scratch up cash fast, which James Michel told us was $2 Billion at one point. Since he did not have a plan, his government approved these projects, but we did not have flights coming directly from <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place> to meet bed availability.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Hence occupancy for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, throughout 2000 -2011 has hovered between 50%-57%. As occupancy remained low, room prices dropped, and yield reduced per visitor. Consequently, even if more tourist come to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region>, they spend much less and tax our infrastructure and eco sustainability more and more, and reduce the overall brand image of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place>. Each year we are in this vicious cycle, it gets worse and worse.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">The low occupancy rates below 75% represents a total failing grade for the Tourism Industry and exposes severe under performance of the Industry and worse, over capacity. Why? Because as the rooms opened up, Air <st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region> went flying to Falklands, <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Mauritius</st1:country-region></st1:place>and on charter, contracted trips, where payment could be “negotiated” and lumped summed.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Air <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>has gone off on a tangent that has left it without effective interactive communications with the STB or the SHTA. The national airline has been a strong advocate of denying 5<sup>th</sup> Freedom Rights to airlines that want to come to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> and fly onwards taking passengers, to other destinations. This has caused a tremendous amount of loss of revenue to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region>, over the years, that with that money, we could have reinvested in Air <st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region>, and started to fly throughout <st1:place w:st="on">Africa</st1:place>, which is booming today, to buttress our national airline. Instead, we have closed off travel and marketing opportunities to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and today, the Industry is on the verge of collapse even though arrivals are up, and the President is the Minister of Tourism.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">The time to break this vicious cycle of communist failure is now. We do not even have enough water to wash our rice, and feed our children, yet the PL have approved projects that will demand even more water. A hotel room demands 750 litres of water a day for a 5 star. A smaller hotel needs 500 litres per day. A Seychellois family of Six(6) uses 25 litres of water a day from bakke to a bottle to bathe. When will the communist put an end to this madness? How will all the sewage be treated PL? Where will we get the extra roads for all the projects? What is your plan ? You seem good at planning elections, stealing votes, and buying SNP executive members, beating up young men and criminalizing them, but what is your plan to run the Tourism Industry?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">In an excellent presentation put forward by Marquise David, STB proposed that a moratorium on future development be considered by the Minister of Tourism and the PL Cabinet, until the PL can catch up with the disaster they have created. Along these lines, was a general sentiment that projects given and approved for foreign interests must be channeled back to bona fide Seychellois national interests to implement. Nationalist sentiment in the meeting of stakeholders was at a peak and should serve as a solid warning to those who think they can walk into paradise and do what they want with the “natives”.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A widely mis-held perception in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place>, is that the NDEA is the Seychelles Police. It is not. NDEA is a para military unit headed by a recruit mercenary named Nail Scully from ex- Guardia Irish Army Reserve. Scully has no Police experience, prior to coming to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. At one point Michel appointed Scully as Deputy Commissioner of Police. Under his watch more professional Police resigned or were removed by a non police then we have ever seen in recent Seychelles Police history. Anyone that disagreed with Scully which I am not sure if he even holds a college degree, was given the boot. Today our Police force is meek and weak, only because it has been made so in a deliberate systematic manner. To rebuild will take another generation. Let us not kid ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The NDEA use a bogus enabling statute that created it to conduct search and seizure without warrants ( a violation of fundamental human rights), stop searches without probable cause (another violation of fundamental human rights) , and they are overly armed with assault weaponry (para military aspect of NDEA) which they use in a civilian setting. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

The case that comes to mind is the shooting of MSR truck by one NDEA staff or agent with a 9mm gun. I have written to Mr. Michel to address this matter, and until today, he has remained silent. In the modern world, silence equates to guilty as hell. I expect Mr. Michel to resolve this matter that is still pending.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another matter that has been alleged to involve NDEA agents that were based at State House, is the breaking into of the MSR office at Docklands. This matter was addressed in a letter to Mr. Michel, and he did not reply. It is still an outstanding matter that we want addressed and resolved. The using of NDEA for meeting political agendas is equates Seychelles Government to a tyranny and para military state. This disgraceful malpractice must be stopped. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In such a small place, such a small country, there is no place for bullying with AK-47’s and Israeli manufactured short neck machine guns. You don’t need all that armory to stop Escobars, Michel. You just need a little will!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The NDEA reminds me a bit of the dumb bully in school. He was much bigger then everyone else, had some contacts in high places, and pushed his way around, because he was not smart enough to do his work in a cool way to move ahead. We Seychellois are tired of being bullied especially by a bunch of dummies that cannot deliver what they have promised.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Go Talk To The Escobars <o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If Nail Scully cannot track down the ESCOBARS as James Michel promised, all Twenty –Five (25) of them as declared by Minister Joel Morgan, then Minister Morgan should change tactics. Go talk to these ESCOBARS. Tell them they are ruining our country, and destroying lives, and breaking families. Tell the Escobars they are ruining <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Beg them to stop and change, turn to the inspirational word of the Lord, and earn their living another way. If they need help, send them to Saving Bank where Carpin and <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pierre</st1:place></st1:city> go to collect their pay packet. If they can go to Savings Bank, why cannot an Escobar get a loan for a fresh start? You seem to be good at handling the SNP, why cannot you handle the ESCOBARS?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When you talk to the ESCOBAR, tell him, if you do not stop, next time I will come back with one armed man and one Vice President to discuss your future. If that does not work, tell him on the third visit, we will bring the President of the Country along with the Vice President. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">By then, the Escobar will either stop, or he will be encouraged by the guest list to continue his evil trade and prepare a grand feast for you all that will put to shame what you dished out last month: Burgers, Bakke, Bakka!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">1. Do you believe we live in a true democracy in Seychelles or is it just a "window-dressing" of a democracy?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2. Do you believe that the National Assembly (Legislative Branch of Government) is a real democratic institution and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">respected as such, or is it simply a "Rubber Stamp" for James Michel and Party Lepep?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">3. Should the Opposition boycott the upcoming National Assembly elections, or should they </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">participate?</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">4.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mr. Dhanjee’s candidacy was refused, and he was denied participation in the elections, a direct violation of his right to participate in public and political affairs of his country.

Madam Amesbury is earning a well deserved reputation for being a real Fighter for Freedom.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well prior to the elections, the <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Constitutional Court</st1:address></st1:street> ruled in favor of Mr. Dhanjee being entitled to stand as a Presidential Candidate. However, in typical communist arrogance, the Electoral Commissioner and his team ignored the decision, and denied Mr. Dhanjee the right to file his candidacy. Hence, as the elections were in place, Mr. Dhanjee’s name was not on the ballot paper, for fear, that he would pull the balance of votes needed to push a second round.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Madam Amesbury filed a motion to the Court of Appeals to stop the elections, until such time that Mr. Dhanjee’s candidacy was present on the ballot paper. In an erroneous ruling, Justice Macgregor applied the Balance of Convenience Test for Injunctions, to a Fundamental Human Rights issue. When Human Rights are at issue, it is never convenient to the state. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />

With this in mind, Madam Amesbury filed a motion to have Justice Macgregor removed from the bench for this case, as Mr. Dhanjee did not believe he could obtain justice with his presence. Similarly a Motion will be filed to remove Justice Hodoul, a former Minister in the SPUP Government and another <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">SPPF PL</st1:address></st1:street> appointment. Justice Hodoul also suffers from medical issues that may prevent him from delivering justice.

</o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In a rash move, to get rid of Mr. Dhanjee’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>case, it appears that the Court of Appeals is doing the politically expeditious thing: hear the case on July 12, 2011 and get rid of it to save face for sham elect president, James Michel (PL).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Regardless of the decision of the Court of Appeals, Mr. Dhanjee’s lawyer has been burning the midnight oil for Freedom and has extensively researched the UN Fundamental Human Rights Charter obligations the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> is being held to uphold by the Dhanjee case. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After the Court of Appeals is finished, the Dhanjee case will go to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Geneva</st1:place></st1:city>, before the UN Human Rights Committee. The case will be heard, and very likely, Dhanjee will win his case again. When that happens the Committee will very likely SANCTION the communist regime in Seychelles until the elections are set aside and Mr. Dhanjee is given the opportunity to stand as a candidate, as he should have been given in the first place. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Such a ruling, will affect international funding for <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> initiated requests. Jean Paul Adam will have his plate overrunning with SANCTIONS before the UN Human Rights Committee. Dhanjee pursues his case because he is a great patriot who loves his country. The pain, you communists, will only end when we have new presidential elections, and you end the practice of sham rigged Gappy-led elections in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">Hi to all,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">I have recieved some emails these last 2 days asking me if the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">latest rumour about me is true....this time it is true.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">Yet, there was a deal between Mgr Denis and myself that the news </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">would go public on July 15...so that I would also write to you all </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">at the same time....but he has not kept his promise...as usual, nothing </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">new. He has already told some people about my decision and this is of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">course spreading.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">Rest assured, I am at peace and really feeling good that I have at last </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">come to terms with a hierarchy that functions in an authoritarian manner. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">It is either you comply...or get out...I have opted to get out.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">When I came home last year, after a lot of fighting...you surely remember.... </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">I really felt the warmth of all the Seychellois I met everywhere I went. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">Therefore, my decision has nothing to do with our people who I love </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">and will always do.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">Since Echo will only mention a very small part of my letter, I believe </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">that the Seychellois is entitled to read everything. Therefore, find below </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">my letter of June 23rd.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">On June 25<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>2011 it will be exactly five years since I landed in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Manila</st1:city></st1:place>. A lot of events have affected my life throughout these last five years, both positively and negatively. After this prolonged review and discernment, where I have extensively tested my deep longings and desires, I come to the following conclusions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">1. I still have the desire to accompany people in their life journeys similar to what I have been doing as a priest for these last 17 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">2. However, I have decided to contribute towards positive social transformations of myself and my surrounding in a different way. The divine coincidence of being accepted into Applied Anthropology and Sociology civil Master’s degree at the Ateneo de Manila University is kind of unexpected… it is not at all a ‘temptation’….simply a door opening up, a God-given opportunity that I will not ignore.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">Rest assured, I am writing this letter with deep serenity, peace, clarity of mind and a profound sense of ‘the truth shall set you free’. Let me insist, there are no more frustrations, no more anger and no more ill-feelings in my entire being. I have allowed myself to heal and to forgive. This is why I believe that my discernment is genuine, as much as one can “know” what direction one should take.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">I am sorry about the pain that my decision might bring to the Church in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place>. On the other hand, the time has come for me to make a decision. It is not healthy, neither for me nor for the people of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, that I let my future remain a floating issue. I want to feel solid ground under my feet and move on. The Lord works in mysterious ways and already new paths are bringing new meanings to my life. I pray that my decision, formulated and reviewed over these last six months (after more than four years of discernment) will be accepted with the same tranquility in which I have made it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt;">I sincerely thank the people of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region></st1:place> for all the support they have given me, especially in times of trials. Some day I will serve our Seychellois people in a different way, God willing. I thank the Diocese of Port-Victoria for her financial support up to 2010. I thank the Lord for opening unexpected doors when I decided to support myself since 2010 up to this day. I am now full of hope that the same God will be my guide, inspiration and protector in the journey ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #333333; font-size: small; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A common thread with communist regimes is that they have to fake success all the time, everyday, 365 days a year, year after year, to stay in power. To fake success, they have to fix and "cook" the books. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This idea, of book fixing has stuck with communists from the early days of Karl Marx.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><img height="320" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQTtmmbymwqaaTFzOXPX02eFPJj4T4mxWzjiVeJqSeHx4BT4hYyeA9nS0s" width="256" /><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><i>Karl Marx</i></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Last week, the IMF popped into <st1:state w:st="on">Victoria</st1:state> <st1:personname w:st="on">una</st1:personname>nnounced, and called for an extra ordinary meeting with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The staffers all lined up, and made their way to the leather seats of the Ministry of Finance conference table to face the IMF Chief of Division African Department and lead for Seychelles program, Mr. Jean Le Dem. Mr. Le Dem is neither a politician nor a business man. Accompanying Mr. Le Dem was Mr. Nikoloz Gigineishvili, an economist who regularly has been visiting <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Miss Nkunde Mwase, economist from the Review Department of the IMF was not present. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br />
</o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><img height="320" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRLjqU_fXeSCmqMEhuUDn2WNdWpCEfMM_huEC4AGIjQ4WW3P9fXvR6ySynp" width="215" /><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><i>Minister of Finance Danny Faure - in the hot seat and very confused</i></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br />
</o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Mr. Le Dem is tasked with seeing through the communist government of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> second generation reforms in taxes, and streamlining and cutting government largess and abuse of government funds, when mis- appropriated. It is no surprise he turned up after: 1. an election, 2. the approval of a supplementary budget approaching Sr. 300 Million for 2011, part of which bails out Air Seychelles again…..for now. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Where Did PL Get The Money<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />
</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img height="640" src="http://www.palupo.com/comics-archive/2010-12-10-Where%20is%20the%20money.jpg" width="395" /></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The big question of course, that no one asked is where did PL get the money for the Supplementary Budget to spend nearly Sr. 300 Million beyond a budget which was already high because it was an election budget. They did not earn it, since Fishing is down, and Tourism, though numbers are up according to STB and Alain St. Ange, the bottom line is severely down, Two (2) years in a row. It seems St. Ange, is recruiting any street walker, from any city, to be a Tourist in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, based on the receivables. But unfortunately, the situation is more complicated then that, I will address it in future article, after the World Bank visits Seychelles in the first week of July 2011 in cooperation with the IMF and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) which was here last year when Aida Der Hovanessian, country manager for Seychelles and the region paid us a short visit. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Foreign Direct Investment (FDI ) in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> these days has plummeted. After PL chased everyone away by seizing a number of bank accounts and transfers, and the water crisis has surfaced, and it is obvious that we do not have capacity for future growth and investment, FDI went from $2 Billion under James Michel, to now likely under $90 Million, this year. Only Sheikh Khalifa of UAE is still putting money in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:country-region>, and the PL are handing the ribbon cutting to the UAE in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, an unprecedented overt action that demonstrates the progressive and systematic selling of our patrimony.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">When communists regimes cannot make business work on a national level, and money is short to get through the humps of fiscal shortfalls, they print money. To do so, they will tell you every reason why the old bills of are suddenly no longer good and a need for new bills is necessary, even if they just printed a new batch the previous year. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img height="160" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRj-TgljtbhxPjg7pZVaFpnWvLI9Zl_DzolNEF2Kf6d5k2NomdZ&t=1" width="320" /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Suddenly all the advertisement of printing new bills, to replace the old ones printed last year, not Ten (10) years ago, stopped on SBC. I wonder why?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The direct impact of printing more money is “Inflation”, which IMF has adjusted to nearly 6% now, perhaps higher by years end. This means cost of living will go up in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> fast, faster, perhaps fastest. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Too much Rupees in circulation will mean devaluation gradually of the Seychelles Rupee to hard currencies like the US Dollar and Euro. This will compound Inflation and Cost of Living. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Steady taxes on fuel of over 450% will keep the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> economy crawling for years as the overall cost of living remains high, and the destination remains costly and not affordable under JJ Spirit, sham President-elect Michel.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Uncertainty in external factors, which I shall treat in future articles, will reveal that I was wrong about a Ten (10) year downturn for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region> which I proclaimed in 2007. I will adjust my sails now to assert a Fifteen (15) year downturn for us under the current communist regime, if there is no change, because with communists, you can always be sure of one thing: they will always make the wrong move when it comes to the economy. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Communists know how to spend money, and beg for money well, but they do not know how to earn money and instill the will to earn money and excel in their people. They are great at regulating people to welfare wards, then attack them for being on welfare in the same breath. They are famous for giving holidays for a political event, and ignore the economic realities of the cost of such fanfare. Even when they are bankrupt, they will give a holiday for going bankrupt. In line with this logic I expect, October 31<sup>st</sup>, will be set aside as National Bankruptcy Day for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>, since this is the day in 2008 that James Michel declared we were BANKRUPT after he told us the previous year, we had cleared all our debts and we were debt free.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p><img height="254" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTmNX2-XD86uW0ByOATycrHHJmNz5qQ_h_s0Q-hAiBYOXWzpocB2iqcHJE" width="320" /> </o:p></span><img height="320" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTzCOT21xzWuNuVznfJsQI4dPQmF1e6kdArjG0xK3PlU4F1b2tq0UnDbdc" width="320" /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">What we have stewing now is some sort of pig food mess in a pot that Michel wants to pass off as a Democracy and we must all remain silent or face his Communist wrath. Judges will be part of an Executive committee. Soon Ministers, will think they can be judges, and MNA’s will think they can be ministers or even judges. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">In what appears to be a total act of desperation, the PL has even gone so far as to appoint MNA’s from the Legislative branch of government to head a steering committee of the Executive branch. This is complete nonsense, and I am perplexed by SNP MNA Mr. Bernard Georges, not overtly declining the invitation politely in writing. A legislator cannot be a member of an Executive branch steering committee. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">If it is permissible, then pigs can fly as well. St. Ange will tell us, “Sesel Sa” and wear his baseball cap about carnivals. That type of perverted thinking must be stopped by decent people in our community. If not, we will never know where to draw the lines in society, with that, our morality as a nation will remain in the dust bins that Michel has admitted openly where it is.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">I fully understand what Mr. Michel is trying to do to address a serious issue. But he simply cannot do it as he has. What he should have done is blessed an organization such as LUNGOS with ministerial support and backing to bring everyone together and chart a path forward on national morality issues. LUNGOS could then make recommendations to the Consul of Ministers, then they could issue directives by adopting resolutions on morality that the Executive branch would then adopt and implement. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><o:p><img height="200" src="data:image/jpg;base64,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" width="200" /></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">The guiding principle of Separation of Powers in the governance of our country is being blatantly corrupted by James Michel.

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">Perhaps that is why we have a morality issue on a national scale in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seychelles</st1:place></st1:country-region>: “too many people stay silent and just play along…….as if nothing is ever wrong”.
