The Chief Justice(CJ) has so far purchased 2 parcels of land
from the Republic, one in 1999 via Seychelles Housing Development Corporation whereby
she more than doubled her money in 45 days having sold H2868 for SR400,000; all
this whilst not residing in Seychelles. In 2013, she purchased another, B6935 for the
sum of SR204, 000. This property has been highlighted in the media recently for
the unethical use of public funds by the judiciary to benefit the CJ. Most
ordinary Seychellois does not even get to purchase 1 parcel of land from the
Republic in their lifetime.
If corruption is defined as “the abuse of entrusted power
for private gain” the reader can themselves decide if this is corruption.
With the upcoming tribunal, President Danny has no option
but to act like a President and suspend the Chief Justice with immediate effect
and work to force her resignation. The reputation of the judiciary is now in
tatters and the Presidents mantra of accountability, transparency and good
governance must now be turned into action. The people of Seychelles await.
