The Prime Minister inaugurated the Quai D roundabout flyover this morning. This was after visiting the Terre-Rouge roundabout where work, for the construction of a new flyover, will soon begin. He was questioned by journalists about the Gobin case.

Regarding Private Prosecution, he said he had discussed the matter with Maneesh Gobin. But as soon as the question turned to the lease renewal case, the Prime Minister asks the journalists : “You talk about allegations… what is the allegation? Who made these allegations against the Minister of Agro-Industry? We need to talk concretely.” the Prime Minister told reporters.

Pravind Jugnauth added: “I am aware that Icac is conducting an investigation. That is what I told Parliament. So did the minister,” he said.

On Maneesh Gobin’s call for resignation, Pravind Jugnauth recalled that there was a private prosecution against him. “According to your logic, I should have stepped down. In that case there would not have been any Prime Minister in this country… Well, we would have had to look for someone else,” he said.

Pravind Jugnauth added that he knows that Minister Maneesh Gobin has lodged a challenge in the Supreme Court… just as he himself did at the time. “The DPP announced that he is discontinuing the case,” the PM stated.
