SEYCHELLES REALITY

On Wednesday in the National Assembly, the listening public witnessed a typical case of a dying man clutching at straws. It came in the debate on a motion by the elected member for Baie St Anne, Praslin, Mr. Churchill Gill. The motion was asking the Executive to consider the teaching of the Seychelles Constitution in the schools. During the morning session Hon. Basil Hoareau had questioned the legitimacy of granting Seychellois Citizenship to El Materi. The Tunisian who was exiled in Seychelles some years back.  In the afternoon session, the Hon Wavel Ramkalawan took full advantage of this situation and jump on this life raft, from Basil Hoareau, to try and save his political life. It was good to hear a so-called political heavy weigh gasping for political oxygen. Wavel forgot that he was a priest; he went after the nun and the two priests who had been given Seychellois citizenship just before El Materi was awarded with naturalization. We all know that this was cover to grant the...

The schism in the Linyon Demokratik Seselwa (LDS) Alliance has effectively turned into open warfare as Pat Pillay, the Leader of Lalyans Seselwa and Wavel Ramkalwan, Leader of the Seychelles National Party (SNP) traded insults and accusations over the social media. It will be recalled that the two parties along with two other smaller parties joined forces to contest the second round of the last presidential election and the ensuing legislative elections under the banner of Linyon Demokratik Seselwa. The rough and tumble between the two men got rougher after Pat Pillay resigned as Speaker of the National Assembly and withdrew his party from the LDS Alliance. Using a fake profile by the name of Ray Cat, SNP accused Ton Pat of corruption and embezzlement of funds. Ray went as far as to state that the acquisition of citizenship by the Tunisian, Sakher El Materi, son in law of the deposed Tunisian President, Ben Ali, was an act of corruption in which Pat Pillay benefited considerably fi...

The nominated councilors by PL and LDS will receive 7500 rupees each per month and the chairperson will each get 10,000 rupees. There are 42 members in all with an additional 7 chairpersons. This will cost the taxpayers SCR385, 000 per month, which will add up to SCR4, 620,000 over twelve months. Many people are not happy about this situation, since, most of them are in fulltime employment and already earning big salaries. A closer look at the people appointed will reveal that they are all practically activists of LDS and PL. It is fair to say, that the two political parties have used this opportunity to reward their loyalists. This is another crime against the people, by LDS and PL. It is also proof, if it was ever needed that these two parties are very similar in nature; they don’t practice what they preach. The LDS is showing its true colours, and that if they get power one day, nothing will change in a fundamental way the country is being ran today. They will only replace PL and ...

We are all familiar with developments in regards to the joint military facilities with India on the Assomption Island. In March 2015, an agreement between Seychelles and India was signed here in Seychelles for the first time, during a state visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This agreement never saw the light of day under President James Michel, even if Parti Lepep had an absolute majority in the National Assembly, up until September 2016. When LDS won the National Assembly elections by 15 seats to 10. The new political landscape meant that India had to cultivate the majority leader in the National Assembly for the ratification of the new agreement; signed in January 2018, between Seychelles and India, with Danny Faure as President. The Honorable Leader of the Opposition, Wavel Ramkalawan, was subsequently on a trip to India, and he waslooked after in a way that he had never experienced before; he was treated like an Indian King (Maharaja). Judging by articles published in the ...

Robert Ernesta aka "Gato Lagres Of Seychelles Weekly  Just as the contrived tribunal into alleged misbehaviour of the Chief Justice is about to start, the dirty tricks brotherhood is launching their Plan B attack on her. The Chief Justice, Dr Mathilda Twomey has been accused of corruption by the Editor of Seychelles weekly. The article sited that the Chief Justice bought a piece of land with SHDC in 1999 and then disposed of it for a profit months later. At the time most returning graduates were able to apply for  loans from SHDC for the purchase of land to build their properties. Mrs Twomey, who was simply a fresh young graduate, together with Patrick Bonnelame, Roger Gedeon and Charles Lucas were all entitled at the time as they were all returning graduates. The truth of the matter is the Mrs Twomey's loan was SR 180,000 from SHDC.  In those days the properties was not transferred to these individuals until the loans were paid in full. Mrs Twomey paid her loan i...

The Honorable Leader of the Opposition is the greatest escape artist since Houdini, so he believes. This newspaper, and the majority of Seselwa are not at all fooled by his acts of treachery to this country and to the thousands of people who are supporting the LDS. Whenever, there is a scandalous political situation or a crisis, Wavel is never around to provide the public with an explanation and/or to answer questions from the press or to help find a solution. He is nowhere to be seen. It is obvious that he cannot operate under any kind of pressure. Wavel (LOTO) chose to remain in Africa and not return to Seychelles to attend the 29th June, National Day celebrations, and no explanation was given by himself or his office, for his absence. This, is a big affront to this nation, when you think of the struggle that people had to go through to have our National Day reverted to the 29th June. It is alleged, that he had gone to Cape Verde after his official duties in mainland Africa, to che...

The above is the dangerous mix that is killing this country. It is the Molotov cocktail that will burn down the Seychellois society as we know it. It was revealed in the National Assembly this week that there are 56 known financiers of hard drugs, 200 dealers and 300 black spots; peddling heroin and other dangerous substances at different locations in Seychelles. This information is more than is required to eliminate the drug epidemic. However, there are other factors at play that is making it extremely impossible to contain the impact of Heroin; it is corruption and politicians. On Tuesday the Designated Minister was in Parliament to answer an urgent question posed by Hon. Charles De Commarmond. The Designated Minister had brought with her an entire delegation to the National Assembly, which included the Commissioner of Police. At one point in the debate the Honorable elected member for Cascade moved that the National Assembly should go in committee stage so that the Commissioner of...

                                      Ramkalawan and Ferrari remain mute The whole country was in a state of total shock once the urgent question put by the Leader of Government Business on drug trafficking has been disposed of this Tuesday in the National Assembly. Honorable Charles DeCommarmond wanted to know how much heroin has been intercepted since the New Commissioner of Police (Compol), previously the head of the National Drugs and Enforcement Agency, has taken over the country’s efforts to reduce the supply of hard drugs. The Minister Responsible for the Police, McSuzy Mondon, was lost for words to establish some semblance of competence and good performance by Kishnan Labonte, the new Compol, whose only remarkable achievement thus far has been the reinstatement of several septuagenarians in the Police Force. The statistics did not add up and the nation was shocked to learn that th...

Mr Andre was a key partner to Quatro MPN, both in assisting in forming the “holding company” in Seychelles, registered in 2008 and in providing providence for the false companies and businesses the Quatro MPN was conducting. In October 2010 Mr Andre attended a Quatro MPN leadership meeting in person in Manchester, United Kingdom meeting and encouraging the business plan that Quatro MPN had laid forward. He ensured possible and current investors that Quatro MPN had gained approval by the Seychelles government to start a legally correct and registered bank in Seychelles. The fact that Mr Andre was a former member of the national assembly in Seychelles (in 2007) added extra weight to his claims and no one doubted that the bank was approved and would be a big part of the investments made in Quatro MPN by the auspicious general public. With his position as lawyer his words was the “stamp of approval” for many to invest in Quattro MPN and its fraudulent business activiti...

This is the question that has been popping  up recently to try and justify the local Freemason witch-hunt to burn the Chief Justice at the stake. We will explain the difference in this article. Karunakaran has a list of cases he has judged with no regard to the law. He has ruled in favour of whoever benefited him: A Freemason brother; The Political power that will protect him (SPPF, PL and LDS); or even an individual for whatever reason. Karunakaran refused to accept the appointment of the Chief Justice, squatted in her office, acted independently with no regard to court systems and calendars. Karunakaran held court and took cases that were not assigned to him, to try and get judgements on record to serve his corrupt fraternal masters and political masters. Karunakaran has no justifiable excuse for procrastinating on closing cases where even his cowboy rulings could not save the party he wished to protect and pervert  the course of justice. Karunakaran was openly in co...

Under scrutiny for fair and proper due process, the frivolous tribunal of enquiry into Chief Justice Mathilda Twomey’s conduct was launched today. Mathilda Twomey is a Seychellois lawyer and academic. She is the first female judge in the history of Seychelles and also the first woman to be appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Seychelles. The local lodge had lined up 7 “interested persons” who were purported to have evidence of misconduct. One local Freemason Gerard Lafortune was part of this line up, under strict local lodge orders of “all hands on deck”. The tribunal judges HOWEVER dismissed all of them in short order as irrelevant. The hopes of the Lodge for a quick kangaroo court and a disruption of the CJ’s diary, were also dashed when the dates set for the hearing turned out to be 30th July onwards. This allows the CJ to complete her calendar and undertake her Court of Appeal work. What became evident is the degree of corruption in the Freemason fraternity in Seych...

Well let me start by saying congratulations to Christopher Gill. He went on TV and said what we all say every day. Seychelles cannot continue having vinegar poured down our throats. Vengeance, hatred and victimisation will just finish the Seychelles everyone wanted to see change for the better. We were short-changed in 2016 and need real change this time around. It is time for more honest Seychellois like Christopher Gill to speak up and say enough is enough. This is what some are saying is OK, but is it? Culprits about corruption and corrupt practices are easily noticed and this is by watching who is making the accusations. Culprits are always looking for others to throw mud at with a bid to hide their very own acts of blatant corruption. In Seychelles today, this is so clear. Pat Pillay lodged a challenge to Ramkalawan and De Commarmond for a forensic investigator to plough into their accounts to reconcile salary and assets with what they own now. No one has accepted this challenge...

The time has come to tell the tale. In this picture you will see the creme de la creme of Seychelles Free Masonry. From the top of the Freemasons they are elevated to the Knights Templar. Centre in this picture is Shelton Jolicoeur. He was the head of the new CAA until he was caught on the internet confessing that “Mathilda must go”. Following that he was hastily replaced by Michel Felix as head of the CAA. Michel Felix is also in this picture. Now why would this erstwhile organisation  want to remove her as Chief Justice? How do they get to decide who is the head of the CAA? It is because Danny Faure is a Freemason. To understand this story you must understand the history of freemasonry in Seychelles. Now there is nothing wrong with freemasonry. It is a noble club all over the world. In Seychelles Freemasonry met with the Seychelles Club. This created an unholy marriage. The result is a total corruption of its values and morals. A lust to continue enslaving ordinary ...
