On December 27, the Cabinet took note of the main findings and recommendations of the commission of inquiry established to examine the circumstances of the MV Wakashio grounding. An inter-ministerial committee, chaired by Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, was established to review the report and chart the way forward for its effective implementation. It was decided that the report of the investigation into the sinking of the MV Wakashio will not be made public.
A peaceful march planned for late January in Mahebourg to demand that the government change its position on the MV Wakashio investigation report. This is an initiative of the platform of boaters and fishermen of the Southeast. They demand the publication of the report, because Mauritians deserve to know what really happened with the ship, according to Tony Apollon.
