In a press conference held last week, Mrs Alexia Amesbury,
the first female presidential candidate and lawyer gave a telling press
conference late last week in which she spoke on diverse issues. Central to her
discourse was the scourge of corruption. While everybody present was expecting
the announcement of her running mate for the upcoming presidential elections,
she was focused on ensuring that two ministers will have to resign shortly. She
will provide all evidence of their corrupt practices in the coming days.
Corruption and allegations of corruption are not alien to
the incumbent government though they have survived the storm thus far. Mrs
Amesbury is sure, two ministers will not outlive the revelations she will make
public.
In the meantime Minister Vincent Meriton’s daughter,
Vladislava Vincentovna Meriton has bought land at Glacis; she is busy building.
Going by her NIN number, she must have been made a citizen of Seychelles only
three years ago. It is without doubt that someone high up the echelon of power
has been behind the transfer because two portions of land (Parcels H10904 and
H10906) had to be amalgamated into one (H10908) to suit lady Meriton. Minister
Meriton, the papa of lady Meriton oversaw the whole transaction as per power of
attorney vested in him by his daughter. Some people know how to get things done
properly.

While many Seychellois find it hard to buy land from
government even if they have the cash, others manage to do so without much
hassle. The 1851 square meters of land has been transferred for a sum well
below the market value of land. Is this anomaly enough to request the
resignation of Minister Meriton?
