Reply: In March 2019, several suspected cases of forgery in the issue of morcellement permits were detected at the level of the Morcellement Unit of my Ministry. The matter was referred to the Commissioner of Police and to the then Director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Subsequently, an officer posted at the Morcellement Unit, allegedly involved in the issuance of several fake morcellement permits, was interdicted from service on 09 May 2019. As at date investigations are still ongoing at the level of the Police and the Financial Crime Commission. With regard to part (b), I wish to inform the House that these illegally constructed Morcellement are affecting around 300 landowners, who, through no fault of their own, are unable to either dispose of or develop their respective plots of land. My Ministry is fully aware of the hardship being faced by these landowners and is determined to find a fair and practical solution. In this context, my Ministry is inviting the developers involved in these Morcellement without a proper morcellement permit to submit fresh applications and/or effect payment of the applicable Morcellement fees, provided that the requirements of the Morcellement Act are duly met. This approach will allow for the provision of proper infrastructure and utilities such as drains, electricity, and water supply within these Morcellement. It will also enable landowners to legally develop their plots, subject to compliance with all relevant legislative requirements. JEUX INTER COLLÈGES – RE-ESTABLISHMENT
