Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The Labour Party leader has decided not to respond to the reply made by the PM to what appears to be a \u201cplanted\u201d Parliamentary Question put by MSM MP Hon Doolub, last Tuesday, during the course of which precise details of \u201citems of illegal nature\u201d other than bank notes were secured from a black suitcase at the residence of the former Prime Minister and seized by the police on 6\/7 February 2015. We have thus learned that the illegal products are \u201cnot commercialized in Mauritius\u201d and that the \u201cMinistry of Health and Quality of Life had not issued any authorisation for its sale in Mauritius\u201d nor \u201cauthorisation been given for their importation\u201d.
\nIn light of what had been leaked out earlier regarding the seized items, other than bank notes, secured by the police at Navin Ramgoolam\u2019s residence, the intent behind this week\u2019s PQ could be perceived as meant to cast a direct attack against the personal mores and character of the Labour Party leader \u2014 a first in Mauritian politics \u2014 and provides an inkling of what is to be expected in terms of base politics in the run-up to the next general elections.
\nAlthough Navin Ramgoolam is diminished by the fact that he doesn\u2019t have a seat in Parliament, he remains a \u201cbig beast\u201d in the eyes of his political adversaries \u2013 one that is perceived to stand in the way of their re-election next time round. All manner of attacks on his character as well as the visuals of the monies secured in his coffers by the police in full view of the MBC\u2019s television cameras, will undoubtedly be on the cards to finish him off. Though it remains to be seen whether most people would be too interested in the details of how he came by so many dollars and other foreign and local currencies, etc., in his private safe and whether it was \u201clegitimate\u201d party donations or otherwise, he would do well to come clean about this matter.<\/p>\n
