Ritish Ramful, Minister of Foreign Affairs, responds to criticism from Pravind Jugnauth. The former Prime Minister declared, Tuesday June 17, that “the only sector which is currently developing is that of political persecution”.

An accusation rejected by Ritish Ramful. “Where does the leader of the MSM say that, or do we know who popilasyon says us? Popilasyon pe dir nou, we are too late to put banela in prizon! “, he said this Thursday.

As a reminder, the reaction of MSM leader Pravind Jugnauth came after the arrest of Soodesh Callichurn and Renganaden Padayachy as part of an investigation into alleged embezzlement surrounding the award, in 2023, of an oil contract worth 30 billion rupees to the company MMG.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs insisted, for his part, that the government does not intervene in any way in the work of the institutions responsible for the investigation. Ritish Ramful responded to journalists this morning in Ébène, following the opening ceremony of a workshop devoted to the “Second Ten-Year Implementation Plan”.
