Rodrigues: In Front Of The ‘LNTA’ Offices: Benches Installed For The Public

Something unheard of. With the arrival of the new regional government, benches have been installed in front of the offices of the Land and National Transport Authority (LNTA) for members of the public since 11 March. This is to the satisfaction of everyone. Those who wish to visit the LNTA and have to wait have now the possibility to sit down while waiting to be received in the offices. A gesture that may be insignificant for some but ‘long overdue’ according to road users. “Zot ti panse bidze Rodrig ki done toule lane la se zot pocket money sa. Zot manz sa larzan la, enan vant pre pou eklate, alor ki lepep pe mor de faim,” said a vehicle owner who obviously wanted to bring out all that he had accumulated during the last ten years of the OPR in power. The elections are over and it is now time for the government to work indiscriminately for all the people of Rodrigues, as has been announced many times. In five years’ time, the people will take a decision in accordance with the achievements that will have been made. And as the saying goes, ‘Heads I win, tails you lose’.
