The whole population has been waiting to see what will
happen to Dolor Ernesta, the former minister who has stolen government land for
himself. Evidence has been provided for ten plots of government land taken by Dolor
Ernesta: LD756 (6022sq m), LD757 (1961sq m), V10131 (2533sq m), V10143 (27sq
m), V10331 (1044sq m), V11919 (6677sq m), V8761 (3214sq m), V17907 (200sq m),
V8762 (1013sq m), V10153 (126sq m). See earlier articles.These pieces of land
altogether represent over 23,000 sq metres of land.
It must be noted that in the latest revelation, which
includes V8761, 3214 sq metres of land and V8762, 1013sq metres were given to
Dolor Ernesta for free by Christian Lionnet, then PS now minister of land and
housing. Stamp Duty was also exempted. It is stated in the transfer document
that it was in consideration of the grant of the right of way over the same two
plots (V8762 & V8761), and the road in question leads to a bigger property;
V11919, which also belonged to Dolor. This is a scam between Christain Lionnet
and Dolor Ernesta, there is no other way to describe it, which needs to be
investigated. The people of Seychelles want to know how did Christian Lionnet
arrive at this decision to give Dolor two pieces of prime land with a road that
leads to his house for free? This is the question.
So far there has been no reaction to demands for an
investigation in this matter. The Minister for Land has not responded. The President
himself has not said one word on the matter. The FIU is playing blind to the
many articles on the illicit sales of government land for personal gains. The
Attorney General is also walking around with a blanket over his head. So corruption
has become fashionable in the land of “judge me by my actions” or inactions for
that matter. The leader of opposition is also not reacting to one of the
biggest scandal in Seychelles history. WHY??
