(No. B/5) Mr F. François (Second Member for Rodrigues) asked the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister for Rodrigues and Outer Islands whether, in regard to electoral reforms for the National Assembly elections, he will state if consideration will be given for the setting up of a Parliamentary Committee mandated to make recommendations thereon, in particular, the 17 introduction of proportional representation and increasing the number of representatives to three for Constituency No. 21, Rodrigues.
Allow me, Madam Speaker, to state at the very outset that my Government is committed to a fully comprehensive reform of the current electoral system, which would be reflective of the will of the population and restore the democratic reputation of our country. To this end, consultations will be undertaken with all the stakeholders. The need for the setting up of any relevant committee to look into the constitutional and electoral reform will be looked into during this process.
Thank you. Hon. Second Member for Flacq and Bon Accueil, Mr Beechook! STATE OF THE ECONOMY – COMPREHENSIVE REPORT
