Seychelles Freedom Party Press Conference That Seychelles Broadcasting Corporation(SBC) Is Still Not Showing....




Seychelles Freedom Party

Press Conference Round Table of Political Parties Seychelles

Boycott result of National Assembly has exposed deep challenges for the democratic experiment for the Seychelles.

After the Boycott results, parties asked what next. Seychelles Freedom Party called for round table dialogue with all parties to chart a course forward.

International organizations such as the Commonwealth, Francophonie SADC have urged the government to move forward with “DEMOCRATIC REFORMS” and the Commonwealth in its last report on the May 2011 Presidential elections said” ….after Eighteen (18) years of multi-partism….the Seychelles is yet to make a complete democratic transition”.

Mr. Michel has written to the Election Commission and given the commission mandate to implement “ELECTORAL REFORMS”.

Seychelles Freedom Party welcomes the call for a round table by the Election Commission. We have attended these meetings with the Election Commission and present have been PL represented by Mr. Simon Gill, cc member. SNP has sent Wavel Ramkalawan. DP has sent Ralph Volcere. PDM has attended with Mr. David Pierre.

The mandate of the Election Commission is to assess the need for electoral reforms and make recommendations to Government.

Electoral Reforms are only one small part of DEMOCRATIC REFORMS recommended by the SADC Commonwealth, Francophonie.

The Government of Seychelles has yet to propose a mechanism to move forward with DEMOCRATIC REFORMS, which is much needed in Seychelles today, after Eighteen years of collective neglect of the SPPF PL and SNP in this area.

Examples of abrogation of the Constitution of the 3rd Republic we have to deal with are:

1. Preamble of Constitution insures individual rights are best protected by a democratic pluralist system;

2. Chapter II Curtails the granting of citizenship and we have seen a proliferation of citizenship being granted under the Immigration decree, a one party state law still in place;

3. Provisions to protect from unlawful arrest, detention, without reasonable suspicion has been abrogated;

4. Freedom of Expression under threat;

5. Right to Assemble, abrogated by inaction for over 18 years;

6. Freedom of Movement, restricted on access to beaches;

7. Right to Use and Enjoyment of Property, abrogated;

8. Equal Protection has not been respected and has been abrogated

throughout the last 18 years;

9. The Right To Information abrogated by no FREEDOM OF

INFORMATION ACT in place.

10. State recognizes Right to Health Care- Good health care beyond WHO

minimal standards.

11. Right To Shelter has been promised but not delivered to all Seychellois

only to party supporters;

12. Fundamental duty of all citizens uphold defend constitution and

Implement preamble.

13. Article 49 Interpretation of “Democratic Society”.

14. Article 84 (1) There shall be a Leader of the Opposition who shall be elected from members of the National Assembly.

15. Executive authority of the Republic vests in the Executive.

16. New amendment “Collective responsibility of Cabinet” abrogates Freedom of Expression and Right to hold beliefs contrary to others, Freedom of Association.

17. Article 94 (1) (3)…..The Speaker shall, after consultation with the President and the Leader of the Opposition, determine the order of priority for the presentation of bills to the National Assembly.

18. Article 105(1) provides for salary of Leader of the Opposition.

The proper course of conduct after the results of the election where no party in the opposition participated and PDM obtained less then 10% of the vote to get a seat in the National Assembly, should have been NULL AND VOID the results because it did not meet the minimal mandatory requirements the Constitution of Seychelles.

By proceeding, in action the Election Commission which has validated the results, and the National Assembly, which has sworn itself in without an opposition, has as well ABROGATED the Constitution of Seychelles.

The proper course of action at this time, to rectify this political malaise, is to open dialogue with all parties, but with engagement of high level officials at the Secretary General and Leadership level, to chart a course forward to reassess the Constitution and adopt necessary reforms in light with democratic best practice.

Meetings must be public and open, contributions accepted from all stakeholders, and the final proposed democratic reforms that concern the Constitution be submitted to the people of Seychelles for REFERANDUM approval.

Laws that have to be amended must also be quick listed and so submitted to a new National Assembly for approval.

The existing National Assembly is Ultra Vires and does not meet the minimal requirements of a pluralistic democratic house as required under the Preamble of the Constitution and relevant provisions cited earlier.

We call on Mr. Michel, to set our democratic house in order. We have many challenges ahead, and we cannot face them as a divided country.

In line with this, we must all never forget the overriding principle that has taken our people to where they are today: SESEL POU SESELWA!

We are dealing with a Communist system. They are stubborn and unwilling to change voluntarily.

We have loaded on facebook and over 6000 addresses will receive.

We will also do the same amount of hard copies for non facebook users.

The two blogs will reach 15,000 in 10 days.

Spread the word,to get as many people to follow the press conference.

We are calling for round table to discuss a new constitution and the people will then decide on it by REFERENDUM.

We have a constitution like any other country and Seychelles being a so call country with high intelligent people, how can our judicial system have two interpretation of the constitution. Let alone Hendrix who is not a lawyer but a statistician who are use to errors and manipulated information, tell me please how can our court have different interpret the constitution?? Guy this is very very serious!! One say no! this is what the constitution say another one say no! This is what the constitution mean. Sad to say we are in deep shit guys.. today is about the election counting next time can be your basic constitution right! The message is loud and clear we are in deep shit.

Chinese Foreign Naval Bases

December 8, 2011: Much to the irritation of India, the island nation of Seychelles has asked China to establish a military base in the Seychelles if China will help keep Somali pirates away. The presence of these pirates has hurt the local economy, and any help is appreciated. Seychelles has sent about a hundred of its troops to China for training. A year ago, a Chinese hospital ship visited and treated over a hundred people. Chinese warships going to, or from, Somalia have stopped for visits. But a base would be another matter, and something India wants to avoid. Seychelles is 1,500 off the African coast and 3,000 kilometers southwest of India.
Earlier this year, India sent a Dornier 228 maritime reconnaissance aircraft to the Seychelles, to help in dealing with Somali pirates. This aircraft will remain for at least two years. Last year, India had offered to give Seychelles a Dornier 228 and two Chetak helicopters for anti-piracy duty, but tiny Seychelles preferred that India simply operate this equipment on their territory until the Somali piracy threat is gone. India has already sent a naval patrol boat and one Chetak helicopter to the Seychelles to help with anti-piracy patrol. Indian warships are also coming by more frequently. India has also pledged $5 million in other military aid for the Seychelles. The U.S. is already operating Reaper UAVs and P-3 maritime patrol aircraft on the Seychelles, to search for Somali pirates operating in the area.

The Seychelles islands have a total population of 85,000 and no military power to speak of. They are largely defenseless against pirates. So are many of the ships moving north and south off the East Coast of Africa. Three years ago, Somali pirates began operating as far east as the Seychelles, which are a group of 115 islands 1,500 kilometers from the east African coast. India is making this effort because the Somali pirates are a threat to Indian shipping and the Seychelles are a neighbor it wants to remain on good terms with.

China, in the meantime, has resisted other invitations to establish naval bases in the Indian Ocean, and requests from senior Chinese admirals for such bases. But as the Seychelles offer indicates, the clamor, and opportunity, for Chinese foreign naval bases simply continues. The most compelling call for such bases is coming from Chinese businesses, increasingly worried about the safety of Indian Ocean shipping lanes.

Democracy to you guys is when the results on an election go in your favour or in your enemies' disfavour. Seychelles had an election where none but two parties participated. One party got seats and then after a round in court the other party got one single seat after the courts had decided that the constitution was misinterpreted.

Now tell me: What's worse, PL havng all the seats or David Pierre getting one?

Had you participated in the election you would have got yours too.

Now why don't you take the matter to court and say that it is unfair that you didn't get a seat despite not running for one?

Anonymous said...

To the last post, you are talking rubbijsh, David Pierres party is an invention of Le Pep, and the recent ruling is again controlled by Le Pep! Do you think for one minute if this appeal had been brought by SNP or DP or SFP that they would have got the same ruling? Simply no, this is a one party state that will do anything to stay in power!

Anonymous said...

Seychelles had a rigged election. Voters turnout were 74.3%, invalid votes were at 31.87% of all votes cast. The constitution is being used as a flip-flop to satisfy the needs of the ruling party, judges are corrupted and the police is an instrument of oppression. The ruling party paid their members to go out and vote for PDM.

Is that what you call a Democracy?

What is worst is that regardless of all the discrepancies, the corruption and frauds, you still cannot see why we are not satisfy with the end result.

Do you eat dirt when you're hungry? Do you drink from the toilet bowl when you're thirsty?

We want to bring this matter to the people's court that is why we want a referendum.

We want a new republic

We said we did not want foreign judges and PL listened to the suggestions and brought onboard more Seychellois judges. Now because we disagree with their rulings we insult them. Just proves that there is no logic but just blind parisan politics in Seychelles. We are a very immature nation and the so called people calling for freedom of speech and democracy are far from understanding real issues. Go back to school you monkeys!

Anonymous said...

The court has in effect changed the constitution and the meaning of the fundamental right to vote. For example, the right to vote according to one judge means you must vote for someone otherwise your vote will not count, whereas the Elections Act requires the elections official to count and record the "spoil" votes as well.

Anonymous said...

The court is a branch of Pp communist .Volcere was serve EXPRESS a court paper just becuase another communist prostitute was supposedly criticized for her arbitary justice.There are hundreds of cases that have been depending for months ,innonence Seychellois jailed evne before sentence and Feranndo and PP have too much cases before to deal with and time is needed.

We should also question the HOW weas Mathilda gifted the job by PP.There was as far as i can say no public vacancy made by PP NaTION and SBC for the post though there are dozens of qualified Seychellois lawyers in the country who could have been interested in the job.Michel wanted someone he can trust and manipulate so the Butcher probably call Mathilda the prsotitute offered her abag full of dollars in order to come a fake justice to favored Pp communist regime.

Before you complain ,you should have llok at what the constitution says.It says that a foreigner that comes to work in our conutry (GOP) are not entilte for citizenship in under any condidtions.The constitution does not allow any government in place to unilaterally take decision such as importing foreigners to control oue institutions in any way and i guess a sovereign country should be free from ofreign contorl ,it is true for all other country ,why should it be different here in this country.Foreigners as in any country may invest in another country but they should respect the laws of the country they doing business,not gifted National patrinomy for one ruppee for 99 years ,nor does it allow governemnt to gifted millions of tax payers money to support foreigners businessmen or compnaiies as in the case of Eden Island.Our constitution does not allow any ministers to gifted our land to any ofreign despots or esle like michel has done in faover of Khalifa ans etc...etc ..etc.In a word,it is not a question if you love,want ,hate,etc.. it is about rlue of laws and the constitution of our country which is the sources that regulate society .

ANy soviereng country,any country who take its independent has in the first place a duty to promote the well-fare of its own people,importing thousadns of fheap labour from India to take the job of Seychellois is not take care of the people^s well-fare but destroying making our people poorer.Allowing foreigners to destroy environment like we see on Praslin with Raflle ugly hotel is not prtoecting the country patrimony but destrying it.Allowing foreigners to illegally blocked Seychellois from their PUBLIC BEACHES as Khalifa is doing in BABARON is NOT PROTECTING OUR INTEREST but allowing foreignersto colonize us.the list is long and the facts are here right in front of you,you just cannot defence it for not illegal priciples allow you to do so.So stop compalin and abide by the country's law and constitution dog.

The chief immigraTION OFFICIER is also guilty for his particiapting,He might try to tell us that we was just taking order from his BOSS.But such an excuse must and canot be accepted.Why'If the chief immigration officier thinks what order he is given is illegal he or she should have refused to execute the orde and come out public and inform the citizens of such mal-practice or he could just have some snese of morality and demmision.But any excuses such as i could not do anything against it is inaccepted .I mean (in other words)if you a part of a gang and you donot want or do nt share thier pracitces then you leave the group but not be part of it then to tell us i did not know.

CHina is about and will become the stronger economy in the world thus most products wether Seychellois,Africans,S.American even European will buy Chinese in the future.Economy and soveiregnty is two different things,thus it doesnot means if one buys Chinese he supports communism No, what i buy i pay for it.

I think SFP has been long ,even before becoming a party exposing any sell out taking place in our country ,it was ture yesterday ,it is today ,it will be true tommorrow,and why ? Becuase our patrimony is not for sell and becuase we put the country's and our people interests before anything else.
My advice Pissedoff,Why ask RAM to do the same?If he would have done so,today Khalifa would not had shit in our rivers,nor wouldArabs destroyed our environment on PRASLIN (pTIT ZIL) to built an ugly hotel of which three quarters of its employees are foreigners thus taking Seychellois jobs and invading our christian land.

The question Pissedoof,why did RAM failed to protect the people parimony?Nothing ,becuase he was pocketing millions in return to shutup his mouth,pretend to be blind,and that what he has been doing for the last eighteen years.Why no give us a break,and go to eat your cold hamburger and drink your Baka.
