(No. B/263) Mr J. F. François (Second Member for Rodrigues) asked the Minister of Youth and Sports whether, in regard to the Multi-Use Games Area infrastructure, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Mauritius Sports Council, information as to – (a) the number thereof constructed in Rodrigues Island to date, indicating the total cost thereof, and (b) whether consideration will be given for the construction of two additional ones in the central and eastern regions of Rodrigues.
Madam Speaker, the Multi-Use Games Area is a community based- fund and fitness programme initiated by the Mauritius Telecom Foundation with the objective of promoting healthy living through physical activity and education for all segment of the population. This was part of each Corporate Social Responsibility activities. There are 13 such facilities and these have progressively been handed over to the Mauritius Sports Council for the management and operation. The final handing over for the 13 MUGAs has just been completed on the 18 March 2026. As regard Rodrigues, I am informed by the MTF that the sport infrastructure similar to the MUGA concept has been constructed by the latter at Baie du Nord in May 2025, for a total cost of around Rs9.5 million. It is known as Baie du Nord Sports Complex and is managed by the Rodrigues Regional Assembly. As regard to part (b) of the question, there is no plan for the construction of two MUGAs by my Ministry in the central and eastern region of Rodrigues. The possibility of having two additional facilities in Rodrigues as part of the MTF-CSR activities rests with the latter and the RRA may engage with them to secure such facilities.
Yes! Alright, good! Ms Anquetil! CONSTITUENCY NO. 18 – WASTEWATER CONNECTIONS
