(No. B/28) Ms M. R. Collet (First Member for Rodrigues) asked the Minister of National Infrastructure whether, in regard to fatal roads accidents in Rodrigues, he will state the assistance, if any, extended to the families of the victims thereof, indicating the number of claims received and processed as at 15 January 2025.
The Minister of Social Integration, Social Security and National Solidarity (Mr A. Subron): Madam Speaker, I wish to inform the House that my Ministry provides financial assistance under the National Solidarity Fund to bereaved families residing in Mauritius in respect of death cases, including victims of fatal road accidents. With regard to Rodrigues, I am informed by the Rodrigues Regional Assembly that they do not have any similar mechanism in place for providing financial assistance to families of victims of fatal road accidents thereat, nor have they made any application so far to my Ministry to that effect. In view of ensuring fairness to all citizens of the Republic residing in Rodrigues, my Ministry is proposing to assist the Rodrigues Regional Assembly in setting up a similar mechanism so as to provide financial support to families of victims of fatal road accidents in Rodrigues for timely relief. I am tabling to this House a list of assistance under the National Solidarity Fund, the National Pensions Act and the Social Aid Act to bereaved families in respect of death cases, including victims of fatal road accidents in Mauritius. Thank you.
Thank you, Minister. The hon. Second Member for Rodrigues!
