Seychelles Rumors In Over Drive!




The " Big Cake" has arrived on the table of the Seychelles Public. President James Michel has announced he will resign.This Saturday, LDS took to the streets of Victoria, SEYCHELLES  demanding for amendments to the Constitution for banning of the Pas Baton tradition that keeps the ruling party in power.
Rumors are rife across the Nation as Le Pep clamps down in silence not knowing what to do next.
One rumor is that new elections will take place, since Faure will not be able to run the country with a hostile majority opposition. One party is toying with asking Khalifa for $300 million, in order to change at Cash Plus, to then give each Seychellois SCR. 100,000.00 not to vote. Perhaps this will increase to SCR. 1 Million per vote. Stay tuned.
Another rumor out and about is Pat Pillay has been offered Vice President post in PL. This is unconfirmed.
Further rumor is the Army refuses to pledge allegiance to a Pas Baton President, and enlisted soldiers have ask commanding officers to press for new fresh Presidential Elections.
Where there is smoke, there is fire in Seychelles.
The situation is developing fast and unfolding fast.

Ironically while all this jockeying is taking place in the political arena, investors are very relaxed and are continuing with their investment opportunities in Seychelles.

Regardless who is in power, the country needs 23% of its GDP in the form of foreign  redirect investments to offset the $ 380 million sitting dormant in business bank accounts. Success has its complications.

If really they are calling Mr Pilay to join with them is because they hit a dead wall.
There is nothing left in the camp.The smart and old one are being sent as world ambassador so they don't get contaminated with Opposition Parties and being told to come over just to vote.Pl never invested in young generations and the reason is most that goes overseas to study never come back,if they do they are doing odd jobs and being told to wait. Et Voila. They think you stick a 3 rupee stamp on and the problem will go away!

I accept this pas baton arrangement under the constitution of Seychelles to empower the people of Seychelles.
Immediately I will ask the National Assembly to amend the constitution for fresh elections in 60 days.
As a transitional leader I am here to work with all parties and assist all sides.

Faure is a clear minded person, in spite of the old SPPF baggage he carries ( Michel and Rene). At times, that baggage makes him make mistakes. Example, 15% Vat on a feeble business community, licensing 1500 houses, then calling for 13 month salary when business cannot even begin to see minimal profits, etc....
I am certain, he will assess the situation and come up with a solution by constitutional amendment, then elections.

He is no fool, but this situation is un ventured territory for someone brought up through administrative ranks of a totalitarian regime.

While the constitution says what it does, it is un democratic. The Modus Operandi of SPPF amending the Consitution 84 times while it control the National Assembly, only strengthens the case for provision of a elected president, if a mandate ends less then 1/2 way through the term.

The problem is not so much Faure as Pas Baton President, as it is a non elected Vice President.

We must work this out as a Nation, elect our leaders, full stop.

Well, we cannot let FAURE confiscate power by anointment and not by being elected by the people............Noting Also that FAURE is not a NATURAL BORN SEYCHELLOIS and thus constitutionally unapt to be President of Seychelles.

And of course ,when Pl (one party system which was never chosen by or being the choice of the people modified at WILL the constitution to ensure that Pl PPOLIT BURO appointment be President ...we cannot accept this .....a President must be elected not appointed ........
Note it is not about the person of FAURE but the unconstitutional methods use by PL to put unelected Persons in high office.



Anonymous said...

The reason Michel raped the Presidential elections ...was partly to ensure that Pl appointed President in the waiting could be handed Power without being elected in order to keep RENE and Michel out of courts and enjoy no consequences tfoir their crimes.......We cannot allow that an unelected person holds office for four years as an Elected President when he or she is no elected or chosen by the people...........

WE WILL NOT ALLOW PL TO Choose who will be President in Seychelles .........And we cannot allow an unelected guy hijack the high office by manipulating our Constitution...
BUSHMANSHIP must stop in this country now.

We will not allow Pl minority to rob the desire of the people and use fakes to keep themselves on power ,nor will we allow a foreigner like Khalfia to define our society as he does in YEMEN..in fact ,we will need to scrutinize what deals Pl did with Khalfia ......and ask Khalfia to shup up or leave our land ....nothing that Seychellois donot love him ..

YOu know what ,,,these kinds of attmepts like to entice PILLAY to be Vice president by pl ........should never be accepted ......We had been calling on Pl ,Michel to Form a Unity govenremnt for years ,,,reconcile,,, unite the country ,,still after years of begging Michjel to the right things ,,Michel and his gang refuses any reconciliation ,in fact Michel and Pl tired to silence the opposition ,,,attack them ,,,kill their pets etc ......
Pl you are done!It seems you just cannot get rid of y<our thuggishness...

6.21 am
I would proposed that Michel resigned At the end of the Year so that the constitution is modify to fits the people will .....and hold election end of January 2017........
The problem is if Michel resign as from the 18th October 2016......FUARE who is not NAtural Born Seychellois would be appointed President ,which is anti constitutional thus create more Constitutional problems.......

That is the only way to go according to rule of laws ........We cannot allow to continue as for the alst 4 decades namely acting unconstitutionally ,,,,else we donot need a constitution .....but allow each indidviudal ,groups to manipulate constitution as they wish to......

Bushman ship must stop now if we want to enjoy real democracy .

So when Misel step down on the 16th let us make sure Faure does not raise his hand,if he does it's history. Invitations are out to guests!They are all talking the talk let not make him walk this walk on the stage.BTW how on earth Seychellois would let a foreign born be our President? Are we back to the Colonial days? Are we back to slavery? Are we back to the Grand Blanc? Is Rene still Alive? Are there still Solda Rene left?

Opposition LDS can amend the law but they are not going to get FAURE this time.
He will be off the hook but there will be a next time.
So same to Mr Affif cannot be a President since he was born in Maldive and landed in Seychelles in the early 60's on board Kampala or Karanja.And so does Faure!

Anonymous said...

Reason why FAR was behind the coup:

1. Manchanm was a playboy.
2.Manchanm spent too many days outside the country.
3.Manchanm wanted to be President for life.
4.Manchanm does not care the lower class.
5. The rich is getting richer.
6.The poor is getting poorer.
That is a few what FAR stated and was justified for the coup.
So can someone tell us what is going on NOW in this PARADISE?
BY DE WAY,this same Manchanm is dancing with the same devil who overthrew him!
Who knows maybe 40 more years Pillay,Ramka,Affif and company will do the same!

Mr.Faure should be smarter then that,he was not in the 5th June coup and should not mix him with Michel the coup leader. Faure should ask fresh Presidential election and ran his show as the real Faure.Guaranty he will come out the winner with one hand tie at the back! Go for it Faure,you are the man and you get our vote of confident!

I am 100% with your comment, Danny Faure is a man of integrity . He should listen to the opposition order fresh Presidential election and we know he will because he absolutely know that he can win with the support of the mass., So dont listen to JAM , be your own self . Avek la gras bondye wa va vin nou prezidan. Viv sesel ..viv Danny Nou katriyen Prezidan la repiblik

Danny Faure is a Seychellois. He is born to Seychellois parents. Where he is born does not restrict his participation. These type of arguments discredit national unity, discredit " Sesel Pou Seselwa" because the arguments are not rooted in solid ground.
Danny Faure is no fool, I will say it again. If you treat him like Michel, who was a fool, it will back fire on the opposition?
Example- how many teachers has Faure pushed to higher degrees?
Most of the qualified cadre of government that IS competent and capable,have been under Faure leadership all these years.

If Le Pep still retains half the country as support or even 200 less, it is Faure that has retain that support, not Michel. So don't fool yourself to think that Faure is Michel. Remember, it was Faure who had to deal with national bankruptcy with Ahmed Afif. Not Michel.

Faure retains an open door policy, which is something Ramkalawan cannot say. So I would not dismiss Faure too fast, nor would I dismiss that he will not organize the amendments to bring our practice to " Best Democratic Practice" , provide for an elected President and Vice President, after say 60-90 days of a unelected vice president assuming transitory power.

As I said, the Nation must resolve this in pass. It is a serious matter, that must be dealt with seriously, in order to achieve a win - win result for the country, the people, our history.

That was his/her opinion.

I think most people are trying to justify the mess of what lepep did to this country.
Now, do you believe of the pas baton?
It's not what they want to accomplish now,its what they did to the people of this country during the last 39 years!

Good day to you.

Anonymous said...

3:11 pas Baton is normal in a Democrscy. But it is rarely used. In Seychelles it has been abused along with the 48 constitutional amendments. Given the context of the elections recently, it is reasonable to call on government to implement constitutional amendments.
They must reply.
On this issue it is critical we remain focused on the amendments and get on with a election within at most 90 days of Faure taking over from Michel. Failing this concession, the country will slip into an unruly quagmire.
That is all I was saying.

I totally agree...Faure must call for an election within 90 days ......Else Faure would be in trouble .....His new governemnt would not be approved by Assembly.....
I heard Michel saying "We make sure that the Opposition does not come to power".....Michel seems not to get it that it is the people who decide and time has change ...Dictation no longer works....
We will not let a gang of thugs decide in our place how and who would rule us .....We need an elected President ..that is the way forward ,,any other illegal means or practice would be rejected by the people ,,,,,

Faure disvorce ...he hope having a young lady around him as Appointed President will win him love from the people.........Michel tried it ,it did not hold long.....it is a tacitci tool ...thought pl......
There would no approval of Faure news government ......unless Constituion is modify and a Prtesidential election is hold in 90 days......
We going to make it impossible for Faure/Pl to rule ......
Maojrity rule not Minority rule ....
Pl is not the oncsitution of seychelels and we will not any pl thugs consfiscate power by illegal means ..

Faure has two cards to play and both are very dangerous. The sooner he realizes that he is between a rock and a hard place, the better off he will be and so will the Nation. All his one party state era cards are irrelevant in this situation. The international press is smelling blood, they are sniffing about looking for the story to cook PL. Faure has to be very careful, it will not be a cake walk.

Michel wants at all cost to have a PL as Presdient hoping this will avoid him being investigated for his 4 decades crimes on Seychellois people .....WE WILL NOT LET HIM....
I heard he sacked his Indian Judge who he also made fake seychellois because the alter did not want to follow his dictation..........(in the coming case of FAURE being appointed PreSident ....Michel think the Oppostion will go to the Constitutional court and hopefully the later would disregard the Oppoation call for an election thus allow FAURE to be president for the coming three years......The Judge refused--

It cannot be the Each time a Pl member takes President office he divorce ...it just cannot be that they all have a marriaige problem each time they about to take the highest office.........Amroal.atheist practice..disrepect for woman,,,,,just crook by nature ...?it up to you to make your mind....But this habit is just not normal.

LDS is morally right to place Le Pep into the pressure cooker and call for elections in 90 days, irrespective of the economy. Investors already take our politics to be a farce. They will be fine. We must establish and implant respect of people first and foremost.

Faure cannot run the country without a solid mandate. If he tries, he will offend UAE. They will not trust him if the LDS are in full blown protest.
The best option is 90 days after swearing in, elections as per amendments. No other option at this point since Faure has been slow to take up other options that have since expired.

The point is this- focus needs to be on constitutional amendments for election in 90 days at most, after Faure is sworn in.
While we do not like the pass baton play, it is currently constitutional and has been since 1993.
The stance LDS has is a moral stance, until it is made legal.
Faure on his side is a acute political animal. He will use every play he can, but as time has passed, Consensus is now firm for constant protests, for fresh elections, he holds really only two cards to play.
Given PL is a minority party, LDS can push the issue and succeed.
But it must push.
Faure on his side, needs to be a national leader of all the people, not the people party. He needs to step out of his mould to survive, and earn respect. The best way he can do that today- announce fresh election amendments within 90 days.
Trust I have cleared the matter.

At this time,i am not inclined to be dismissive of Faure potential to become a flexible and sensible President.I reserve judgement not out of naiveté or because i donot have constitutional questions about his succession or political misgivings about the process that lead to his appointment.I shall give him the benefit of doubts because i beieve that fundamental fairness requires that he is given a chance to prove ro disaprove himself as a capable and effective leader..I also to not believe in guilt by association,and will not hold Faure against Faure the fact that Michel was his mentor.a also aim to avoid the Soft bigotry of low expectations.I donot know what Faure can do in the future.fairness requires that i judge him by his deeds and words.I hope he will show humility and not play the belligerence ,arrogance and hubris of his predecessor.

Michel was a man with a mission .Faure can be a man with a vision.The country has immense problems that require massive efforts to resolve.Faure can choose to become not just a leader but the best leader.A LOA TSU said"To elad people .walkd behind them,..As for the best leader,people donot notice their existence"THE NEXT BEST ,THE PEOPLE HONOR AND PRAISE.
Faure has his own appointemnt with destiny.Cynics might say Seychelles leaders never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.I hope that will not be the case with Faure.He will determine his own destiny as a leader.If he si able to summon courage,integrity,and fortitude to put the peoples 9interest before party interest,he could becoem a role model for future leaders. but if he follow in the footstep of his predecessor he will end up in the trashbin of history like Michel.

If you want to know what Faure is thinking just listen to the three key appointed MNAs in the National Assembly he appointed on Proportional Representatation basis- 1. Basil Hoarau legal perspective and protection of Le Pep, 2. Sebastian Pillay - policy defense, 3. Simon Gill hard line ideology defense.
If Faure has been diluted from a Marxist Communist, he would have instructed Simon Gill to just shit up. He would have instructed ministry of Employment to drop 13 month salary fiasco which no one can pay except for SACOS, Seybrew, SEPEC, Pension Fund, Creole Travel , Cat Cocos, UCPS, vijay .

Pl tells us local fishermen that "it will literally reduce or control their fishing to supposedly protect endanger species such as Parrot fish .sharks ,etc..
Well ....seychellois fishermen had never endangered any fishes since the existence of seychelles as a nation ......therefore it is not local fishermen pl governemtn should target .....for the real causes of over fishing is causes by the ffishing of these species for EXPORTS.......so pl governement should ban export of these speices if not export of fish al together............
2)Sharks are endangered not by local fishermen for sharks is to necessarily a targeted spiceis by seychellois ....no Pl ...the causes of reducetion of sharks ,dophils ,and many of fishes are a results of the massive present of TUNA SIENERS that every single day discard tons of BYCATCCH into the ocean ..which includes tons of sharks ,dolphins.and many other endangered sspicies ..In other words .Pl should not attack lcoal fihermne for the problems causes by over fishing for Exports and tons of bycatch fishes discard into the ocena by TUNA seiners .........fight the problem where it is Pl ,,not local fishermen that feed the nation with proteins....
