Press conference of the trio Joe Lesjongard, Bobby Hurreeram and Subashnee Luchmun-Roy at the MSM HQ on Saturday, April 9, 2022. Several themes such as the 39 years of existence, Navin Ramgoolam’s conference and the role of the press and the media in the audit have been treated.
The Minister of Public Infrastructure commented on the press conference of the Labor Party (PTr) and the first public outing of Navin Ramgoolam since 2021, Friday, April 8, 2022. The government spokesman said he did not understand the words of the leader of the reds who called for a change of government. “Ramgoolam pe dir bizin sanz government. When he is in power, he will have to deal with the economic effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine,” he said.
At the outset, the Minister of Public Infrastructure reviewed the management of the former government when Navin Ramgoolam was in power. “Under the PTR regime, his own finance minister put NRPT on the back burner to penalize the middle class. The population should not forget the problem of the brown university, the coal plant, the airport scandal and all the mismanagement of our institution under the PTR regime,” he said.
The Minister of Public Infrastructures described Navin Ramgoolam’s remarks as a “masterful slap” that Nando Bodha received. “Following Navin Ramgoolam’s recent remarks, Nando Bodha’s dream of becoming Prime Minister has been shattered,” said Bobby Hurreeram.

He pointed out that the meeting held at the Citizen Advise Bureau (CAB) in Plaine-Magnien was focused on the problem of water accumulation and rising water levels in this area. He emphasized to have brought officers of the concerned authorities, such as, the police, the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service, the Land Drainage Authority, the Road Development Athority, the SMF, the Chief Executive and the vice-president of the District Council of Grand-Port.
Energy Minister Joe Lesjongard, for his part, wished MSM supporters a happy birthday on the occasion of the sun party’s 39th anniversary. “We are proud of what the MSM has achieved over the years for the country. Every time the MSM has been in power, the country has seen social, economic and democratic progress. The press criticizes us but forgets that it was the MSM that opened up the democratic space with free media and free airwaves. It was also under the MSM that the minimum wage was introduced and Rodrigues gained its autonomy,” he said. He added: “Pravind Jugnauth is doing everything possible to improve the living conditions of the population.
For her part, MP Subashnee Luchmun-Roy dwelt on a survey that was released on March 26 but the press did not mention it. “In a recent survey published on March 26, Mauritius was ranked as the first country in Africa where it is good to live. In addition to that, Kayak, the largest travel and tourism website in the world has ranked Mauritius as one of the best countries in the world where one can adopt telecommuting,” she says. She believes that instead of focusing only on the negative things, the press should also focus on this type of information that enhances our country.
