Earlier articles reported the fact that Dolor Ernesta had
abused his position as a government minister for land by grabbing several plots
of government land for himself and his family. LD756 and LD757 two beach front
properties at Anse Gaulette on La Digue was taken through an elaborated deal,
which involved transferring the land on his father for SR75,000, almost 8000sq
metres of land was lost to that scam. Dolor has since sold LD756 for 5 million
rupees on paper, but many believe that he has sold the land for more. LD757 is
still registered in Dolor’s name at the land registrar.
It was also another three plots of land, taken from Government
by Dolor, this time on Mahe at Sans Soucis; V10131, V10143 and V10331, nearly 3600sq
metres of land in total. This is where Dolor is now residing at Sans Soucis, next
door to the former residence of President Michel. If we were to put all five
plots of land together; LD756, LD757, V10131, V10143 and V10331, in total 11587sq
metres of Government land gone to one man, the former minister of land use in
this government.
If you thought that the above was the totality of land taken
from government land bank by Dolor, you are totally mistaken. Dolor Ernesta has
an undiminished appetite (greed) for government land. Further evidence of
another four plots of government land given to Dolor Ernesta; This brings the total
so far to ten (with V11919, included) plots of government land for Dolor,
contrary to government policy, which says that a person without a piece of land
is entitled to only one plot (per person).
On 12th August, 1996; V8761 and V8762 were transferred to
Dolor Ernesta for nothing. YES NOTHING! Dolor was the minister at the time, so
he was in a position to organise the deal from inside (insider dealings). Joseph
Nourrice signed on behalf of the Government and Dolor for himself.

| Corrupt Central committee member of Parti Lepep |
There has been many call for an investigation in the
dealings of Dolor Ernesta, former minister, Central Committee member of Parti
Lepep and embarrassing Vice chairman of SCCI, to establish whether any wrong
doing; abuse of power, corruption or embezzlement and other inappropriate
transactions has been committed. So far the President has remained quiet and has
ignored all calls for an investigation. This is one of the biggest scandals by
far that has come to light since James Michel was handed power in 2004, when he
pronounced these immortal words, “judge me by my actions”. His silence on this
scandal is deafening. If President Michel has decided not to investigate Dolor Ernesta
he must provide the population with an explanation. This is the least that is
expected from the elected President of the Republic. He is accountable to the people
of this country. That is a responsibility he cannot avoid.
