Mr.
President James Michel is at it again. Another speech, another cover up.
Four Term President Cum King?
It has been
highlighted that it is his 11th State of The Nation address,
implying that he has “Four (4) more”. Terms of Office just does not work that
way your Highness.
The trappings
of royalty are abound in abundance for
Mr Michel these days. The Rolls Royce, the Rolex watches, the trips to RAS Marina
Ferrari Track yearly, along with other royals.
Of course,
there is the courting: the welcoming of royals regularly, the offering of
Shiekhs, opportunities to buy up our patrimony sometimes even for just a single
Seychelles Rupee.
In exchange,
we get a royal gift here and there. A windmill here, a windmill there, in spite
of their energy production being inefficient and inadequate. It’s a gift, and
one royal cannot offend another royal and dispose of the gift. It is not
polite.
In the
meantime, the hotel nearby Beachcomber, must offer guests stay 6 pay 3, with
free transfers to from Mahe to St. Anne Round Trip. Breakfast and dinner
included.
In his
defense, His Highness may say: we did not think of that, of course not.
Cap Ternay On Hold He Says
Yes, Mr.
President His Highness James Michel has told us the Cap Ternay Emirates Hotel
project is on hold. For how long? Until the Fourth Term election? Indeed his
Highness has advised us through the Ramgoolam ( His Highness Best Friend) press
in Mauritius that he will seek a Fourth (4th) Term and run again,
when in fact he should just be finishing his Fourth Term in 2016, and call it a
life’s work undoing the financial mess he created all by himself.
You saved
Cap Ternay for 12 months, but you destroyed our financial credit worthiness
since 1992. That is 23 years of BAD CREDIT, BAD image, your Highness, yes, even
if you say: “I Love Seychelles”. Do you really Love Seychelles or do you Love
the comfort of the trappings of power, Seychelles has given you?
Does Mo Know You Love Seychelles?
I beg to say
your Highness: “if you really do Love Seychelles, simply finish your term and
retire. In return, we will call Mo Ibrahim and tell him you finished off as a
great Dictator. This will entitle you to the $3 Million prize, which you can
pledge to repay the debts, you created and did not pay off.
The Youth Are Asking Questions
The Youth
are asking questions, since all these pretty images of Seychelles you paint in
your speech does not reach them. Their numbers are growing everyday.
The Rich Country
His Highness
says we are very rich, No. 1 in Africa. He says 85% Seychellois own their home.
We are No. 1 in Africa, because you condoned a policy of MONEY LAUNDERING in
Seychelles.
We are rich
because we launder money for the rich, that never reaches the average Seychellois.
How much of that $15 Billion laundered through nominee companies reached
Seychelles? That is the truth.
85% Seychellois Have A Home
How many
Seychellois are still paying for their home each month, which you say you gave
them? Answer: 85%. Some died. Their children took over the loans. Yet many of
these houses are given to Seychelles by Shiekh Khalifa for free. You resell or
rent the houses and indenture our people into a rental pool. Given our history
of slavery and abuse of land rights, do you think that is fair?
The Economy Is Failing Again
His Highness
says boldly the economy is faltering -2.8%. Well, I have been saying that will
happen for the last 12 months. His Highness and his team under the guise of
collective ignorance, ignored my effort to highlight the rough patches ahead.
Guess what? Unless you get serious, it will get only worse.
His Highness
has given Seychellois and foreigners alike a preoccupation with guest houses.
In 2013 he licensed 426. In 2014 the number went up to 467. This has been his
economic policy for growth.
Absent Income Earner
Foreigners
live overseas, rent their houses in Seychelles, repatriate their earnings
overseas, if they ever make it to Seychelles, tax free, then those that live in
Seychelles like us, pay VAT 15%.
Super Yacht Madness
The same
thing happens with super yachts. The super rich dock their super yachts in
Seychelles, they live overseas, and GOS collects nothing on the residency of
the super yachts. The yachts when in use, break our corals, dump shit in our
ocean, throw plastics over board and do an occasion shark feeding party that
attracts large beasts to the plateau that end up mulling our visitors.
-5% Revenue
Yet His
Highness has the audacity to ring the bell and tell us we are -5% from last
year in governmental revenues collected. Then he says: “I Love Seychelles”,
give me a Fourth Term, by implication abrogate the Constitution of Seychelles
for me, because “I Love it at State House too”.
-23% Deficit 2014
No comment!
Anyone who Opposes His Highness
really Loves Seychelles!
Sesel Pou Seselwa!
May God Bless All Freedom Loving
Seychellois!
PS- This election, do not burn my
shack down unless you pay me for the last one first!
