Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>President Wavel Ramkalawan will deliver his state-of-the-nation address on Tuesday February 22, 2022 at 5pm.<\/p>\n

The uniqueness of this event lies in the fact that it is the most important event on the calendar of the National Assembly, not only because it signifies the beginning of a new working year and the official opening of parliament, but also because it is one of the only special sessions of the National Assembly whereby the President of the Republic comes to the National Assembly to address the people of Seychelles as the Head of State.<\/p>\n

The message of the President on the state of the nation has become so embedded in our legislative tradition that most people tend to forget that its delivery fulfills an important part of the Constitution of the Third Republic. Article 65 of the Constitution clearly accentuates this point by stating that the President shall, at the beginning of each year; and before the dissolution of the National Assembly, deliver to the Assembly a message on the state of the nation. It is a much-anticipated moment for the whole country as the President informs the people of Seychelles on the conditions of the nation, the national priorities and at the same time outlines the agenda of the government for the coming year.<\/p>\n

The message of the President on the state of the nation brings a new impetus for the political, social and economic activities of Seychelles. As the National Assembly gets ready for a new official beginning and a new year of work, members prepare for their oversight, representation and legislative responsibilities that will be translated by them from the address.<\/p>\n
