Assembly approves new ministerial appointees
31-January-2015
The four new ministers appointed by President James Michel in a cabinet restructuring on Monday were approved by the National Assembly in a special session yesterday morning.
The four ministerial appointees are : Wallace Jude Keith Cosgrow for Fisheries and Agriculture; Etienne Didier Cesar Dogley for Environment, Energy and Climate Change; Michael Michel Jean Benstrong for Investment, Entrepreneurship Development and Business Innovation; and Charles Bastienne for Home Affairs.
The Assembly’s approval follows four motions tabled by the leader of government business Marie-Antoinette Rose and they are in line with Article 69(2) of the Constitution.
Several Assembly members intervened in the general debate which followed the presentation of the different motions for each of the new ministerial appointees. At the end of the debate the majority party members approved the ministerial appointees while the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly David Pierre abstained.
Roma Edmond, elected member for Plaisance and a former classmate of Mr Cosgrow who has also worked with him at community level and on different committees, described him as a devoted, committed person full of wisdom and connects well with people through his responsibility and experience as the chief executive of the Welfare Agency.
“These are qualities that President Michel requires of our ministers,” she pointed out, noting that Mr Cosgrow is not new in the agricultural sector. He had worked for five years in the Ministry of Environment & Natural Resources and the Seychelles Agricultural Agency (SAA) as an economist between 2005 and 2010 and was involved in assessing small projects for farmers, more specifically their economic viability. He also has experience working with the FAO.

‘We should never work in isolation’
“Irrespective of our specific portfolios, we should never work in isolation,” President James Michel told his ministers yesterday at State House as he chaired the first meeting of his newly restructured cabinet.
“The public expects a good and wholesome service, and this can only be achieved through proper consultation and coordination across ministries, and most importantly by remaining connected to the people whom we serve,” the President told the ministers, four of whom are new appointees, while others have either retained their portfolio or have been assigned new responsibilities.
President Michel has again urged his cabinet of ministers to remain connected to the people whom they serve.
Starting off by welcoming the four newly appointed ministers, the President informed them that they have been selected to serve in this high capacity on the basis of their record of integrity, hard work, efficiency and discipline.
“I am sure that you will bring these qualities and more to the tasks that lie ahead,” the President told them.
He wished all the ministers every success in discharging the responsibility that has been entrusted in them.
