(No. B/496) Ms S. Anquetil (Second Member for Belle Rose & Quatre Bornes) asked the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare whether, in regard to the Beau Sejour Community Centre, she will state if any renovation project thereof, including its yard, is being envisaged and, if so, give details thereof and, if not, why not.
Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been made aware of the deplorable state of the Beau Sejour Community Centre. I wish to thank the hon. Member for the pictures forwarded to me on same. I am informed that procedures for renovation works at Beau Sejour Community Centre have been initiated by the Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Fund. The works, inter alia, comprise replacement of tiles in the hall and kitchen. Cabinets have also been fixed in the kitchen. I am apprised by the Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Fund that lights have been installed in the shelter found in the yard of the community centre. Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to inform the House that most infrastructures falling under the purview of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family Welfare, be it community
52 centres, social welfare centres or women empowerment centres, have remained idle since the last 10 years, depriving the community of these facilities. I am glad to inform the House that theses infrastructures are being made operational since this Government took office. The Camp La Boue Women Empowerment Centre is now operational since 08 March this year. Furthermore, the Richelieu Women Empowerment Centre is in operation since 22 March 2025. The reopening of the Triolet Women Empowerment Centre is being envisaged. Other infrastructures falling under the purview of the ministry will be made operational subject to the availability of funds.
Yes, hon. Member!
Je vous remercie, M. le président. Au nom des habitants de Résidence Beau Sejour, je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude à la ministre pour cette rénovation. La ministre pourrait-elle indiquer à la Chambre si cette rénovation implique la fermeture complète du centre et, si oui, si son ministère prévoit des solutions alternatives pour garder les habitants en activité ? Merci.
Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, à ce stade, ces informations ne sont pas disponibles.
