He pointed out that several components of the project are\nbeing undertaken in parallel, including electrical, plumbing and waterproofing\nworks, with a view to making up for delays. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Moreover,\nMinister Woochit expressed confidence that the works can be completed within the\nprescribed timeframe.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For\nhis part, Minister Gondeea welcomed the progress achieved and outlined the\nscale and importance of this undertaking.

He expressed hope\nthat, upon completion of the works, the theatre will regain its prominent place\nin the country's artistic and cultural landscape.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMayor of Beau Bassin\u2013Rose Hill, for his part, stated that despite challenges\nwhich had slowed down some works, other components were being undertaken\nconcurrently to maintain progress. He also underlined the involvement of\ntheatre practitioners in discussions on the future use of the venue.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As\nfor Mr Dwarka, he explained that the restoration is particularly complex owing\nto the historic nature of the building. He cited termite infestation among the\nchallenges encountered and stressed the importance of preserving the Plaza's\noriginal woodwork, architectural features and acoustics. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Phase\nIII of the renovation project, being implemented by the Municipal Council of\nBeau Bassin\u2013Rose Hill, started on 09 March 2026.

Organised in the context of implementing the landmark Higher Education\n(Use of Artificial Intelligence) Regulations 2026, the workshop provided a\nvital national platform for key stakeholders to share their insights, views,\nand recommendations.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The outcomes and strategic recommendations gathered during this\nconsultative session will directly inform the preparation of the upcoming\nNational AI Governance Framework and its accompanying operational guidelines.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event was marked by the presence of several high-level dignitaries,\nincluding the Minister of Tertiary Education, Science and Research, Dr Kaviraj\nSharma Sukon; the Commissioner of the HEC, Professor (Dr) Romeela Mohee; and\nthe Chairperson of the HEC, Dr Ashveen Kumar Kissoonah.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a statement, Minister Sukon underlined that AI is already integrated\ninto our higher education institutions and that the focus must now turn to\nbuilding the frameworks to enable students, academics, and researchers to\nleverage it effectively. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Noting that students possess different learning pathways and\ncapabilities, the Minister averred that AI must be harnessed to identify their\nunique strengths and weaknesses, and consequently deliver the targeted\nmaterials they need to bridge performance gaps. This approach directly aligns\nwith the personalised learning model we endeavour to promote across the education\nsector, he emphasised. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Sukon also underscored the need to train educators and academics to\nintegrate AI tools into their teaching methodologies while actively exposing\nstudents to these technologies. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As regards developing effective guidelines, the Minister suggested that\nthe HEC establishes a dedicated committee to keep pace with the dynamic nature\nof AI. He further proposed that this body meets every three to six months to\ncontinuously update institutional guidelines in a bid to match the latest\ntechnological breakthroughs.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Acting President of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr Jean Yvan Robert\nHungley, highlighted that sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago entails\nresponsibilities towards the Chagossian community, the environment and future\ngenerations. He was speaking at a colloquium held, yesterday, at the Municipal\nCity Council of Port Louis.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Organised by the Middle Temple Association (Mauritius), the colloquium,\nthemed \u2018Mauritius\u2019 Sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago: Where do we stand?\u2019,\nexamined the historical, constitutional, decolonisation, legal, diplomatic and\ngeopolitical dimensions of the Chagos question. The Junior Minister of Foreign\nAffairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, Mr Hambyrajen\nNarsinghen, and other personalities were also present.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Acting President Hungley observed that while the Chagos question is\nfundamentally a legal one, it also concerns decolonisation, people, the\nenvironment and the nature of the sovereignty Mauritius intends to exercise. He\nnoted that the Agreement of 22 May 2025 has been signed but is not yet in\nforce, against an increasingly complex geopolitical backdrop.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr Hungley underlined the significance of the International Court of\nJustice\u2019s 2019 Advisory Opinion and subsequent proceedings before the\nInternational Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. He emphasised that Article 1 of\nthe 2025 Agreement recognises Mauritius\u2019 sovereignty over the entire Chagos\nArchipelago, including Diego Garcia, adding that the challenge now concerns\nsovereignty in practice.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Speaking about the human dimension, the Acting President stressed that\nChagossians must have a meaningful voice in decisions concerning their future.\nHe pointed out that resettlement involves not only returning people to the\nislands, but also addressing housing, healthcare, education, transport,\nlivelihoods, cultural heritage and language.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He moreover dwelt on the environmental responsibilities associated with\nsovereignty and stressed the need to strengthen Mauritius\u2019 capacity in marine\nscience, environmental management, maritime surveillance and fisheries\ngovernance. According to him, sovereignty is not a destination, but a\nresponsibility.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the Colloquium,\nthe Legal Adviser, Mr Dheerendra Kumar Dabee, delivered a presentation on\nseveral themes, including: International law and territorial integrity; Self-determination\nand the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion; Mauritius\u2019 legal\nstrategy before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea; and the Limits\nof international law.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">With\nthe Digital Driving Licence (DDL) now available on the KOREK! application, the\nMinister of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, Dr Avinash\nRamtohul, called on the public to complete their MauPass registration, access\ntheir DDL and familiarise themselves with the digital licence ahead of the\nnon-acceptance of photocopies of driving licences as from 1 January 2027<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nwas speaking at a press conference held this afternoon in Eb\u00e8ne on the MauPass\nregistration process and the DDL, which has been available on the KOREK! App since\n29 September 2026. The Executive Director of the Mauritius Digital Promotion\nAgency (MDPA), Mr Heman Jeawon, was also present.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">A\nlive, step-by-step MauPass onboarding session was also conducted, demonstrating\nthe registration process and the steps to access the DDL through the KOREK!\napplication.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr\nRamtohul explained that a three-month period has been provided for members of\nthe public to access their DDL, familiarise themselves with the system and\nreport any anomalies. Any discrepancy identified in the DDL should be reported\nto the Traffic Branch, he said. The non-acceptance of photocopies of driving\nlicences is aimed at preventing the manipulation of driving licence documents,\nhe stressed. Persons who do not have a smartphone will, however, be required to\ncarry their original driving licence, he added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Regarding\naccess to the KOREK! application, the Minister indicated that users must first\nregister on MauPass through a Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This requires\ncitizens to visit their nearest post office with their mobile phone and\nidentity card for in-person identity verification. He described KYC as a\none-time process carried out primarily for security purposes, serving to\nestablish a person\u2019s identity in the virtual environment and replacing the\nbiometric verification process previously used.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr\nRamtohul further announced that MDPA teams will be deployed at various\nlocations as from next week to assist citizens with MauPass and KOREK!\nregistration. These include Line Barracks, hospitals and health centres, Social\nSecurity offices, National Land Transport Authority offices, the Emmanuel\nAnquetil Building, Ministries and Parastatals, taxi stands and shopping malls.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister also recalled that KOREK! application already offers a range of other\nservices, while work is ongoing with various Ministries to integrate additional\nservices. This, he said, forms part of efforts to transform Mauritius\u2019 digital\nlandscape and facilitate the population\u2019s transition towards greater use of\ndigital services.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">National Assembly delegates, including Speakers, Deputy Speakers, Members of Parliament and Parliamentary Staff, from the Seychelles, Comoros and Madagascar, are currently on a visit to Mauritius with the objective to take note of the use and implementation of Artifical Intelligence in parliamentary works. <br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In this context, a presentation and demonstration on AI applications in parliamentary work were held yesterday in the presence of Speaker of the National Assembly, Mrs Shirin Aumeeruddy-Cziffra in Port- Louis. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her address, Mrs Aumeeruddy-Cziffra highlighted the potential of AI to enhance parliamentary work, strengthen institutional functions, improve monitoring and support decision-making. She stressed the need for institutions to adapt to emerging technologies and integrate AI across different sectors of the economy.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Speaker also emphasised the importance of multilateralism, noting that no State can operate in isolation. She called for enhanced cooperation among Small Island Developing States (SIDS), particularly through the sharing of expertise and the pooling of resources on matters of common interest.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cSmall States have no alternative but to engage in regional and international organisations in order to better defend their interests,\u201d she stated. She advocated an open and \u201cmulti-circle\u201d approach whereby countries can make their voices heard, defend their interests, contribute their expertise and benefit from the expertise of others.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Referring to the signing of the Ministerial Declaration of Port Louis in 1982 and the Victoria Agreement in 1984, Mrs Aumeeruddy-Cziffra noted that the Indian Ocean region is currently facing instability. She stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation among Mauritius, Madagascar, Comoros, Seychelles and R\u00e9union, particularly in relation to blue economy and maritime security.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">She further expressed confidence that the visit would provide participants with an opportunity to observe Mauritius\u2019 experience in incorporating AI into parliamentary work and to explore its potential in monitoring complex areas within Government institutions.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Speaker also expressed appreciation to the Indian Ocean Commission, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Indian Ocean Commission, the French Development Agency and the European Union for their support in organising initiatives aimed at promoting dialogue, regional cooperation and the sharing of expertise among countries of the region<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>03

The initiative, led by the Ministry of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries in collaboration with the Small Farmers Welfare Fund (SFWF), provides assistance to registered small tea planters to enhance the productivity of their fields.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event was held on 01 October 2026 in Nouvelle France, in presence of the Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries, Dr Arvin Boolell; the Junior Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries , Mr Gilles Fabrice David; the Junior Minister of Health and Wellness, Mrs Anishta Babooram; Member of Parliament, Mr Ashley Ramdass; and other personalities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Modern portable tea-leaf cutting equipment, donated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), was also handed over to seven tea cooperatives.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">On that occasion, Minister Boolell reaffirmed Government\u2019s commitment to supporting tea planters and developing the sector, while stressing the need to increase local food production. He called for greater innovation and the development of value-added tea products to tap the sector\u2019s potential.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He also highlighted measures available to planters through the Development Bank of Mauritius and encouraged greater investment and innovation in the sector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Junior Minister David noted that an additional Rs 13 million had been allocated to the Tea Sector Support Scheme in the Budget. Reiterating Government\u2019s commitment to assisting tea planters, he stressed the increase in the allocation to the Tea Sector Support Scheme for the 2026\u20132027 fiscal year from Rs 8 million to Rs 13 million.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Junior Minister Babooram underlined that tea remains widely consumed in Mauritius, while the country continues to import more tea than it exports. While MP Ramdass encouraged greater participation by young people in tea cultivation andplanters to take advantage of available grants and mechanisation schemes to boost production.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Under the Tea Sector Support Scheme, registered small tea planters, including members of cooperatives receive fertiliser assistance to improve the production of tea leaves.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">NPK and CAN fertilisers are to be applied between September and October, and January to February each year. The Scheme operates through a voucher system, with eligible planters receiving vouchers indicating the quantity of fertiliser allocated to them. The vouchers are presented to suppliers selected by the SFWF.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fertilisers are delivered to planters in their respective localities according to a pre-established schedule.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

Second Annual Conference on Credit Ratings opened, this morning, at the InterContinental Resort Hotel in Balaclava, bringing together stakeholders to discuss the development of African capital markets and the mobilisation of resources for sustainable development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The two-day Conference, being held from 05 to 06 October 2026 under the theme \u2018Towards Developing African Capital Markets: Rechanneling Africa\u2019s Capital\u2019, focuses on improving access to capital, expanding investment opportunities and supporting Africa\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr (Mrs) Jyoti Jeetun; the Governor of the Bank of Mauritius, Dr Priscilla Muthoora Thakoor; the United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator for Mauritius and Seychelles, Ms Lisa Simrique Singh; the Chief Executive Officer of the Africa Peer Review Mechanism, Ambassador Marie-Antoinette Rose-Quatre; and other personalities were present at the ceremony.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her address, Dr Jeetun noted that African economies are facing growing financing needs amid declining concessional financing and challenging global financial conditions, making credit ratings increasingly important in determining access to capital and borrowing costs. She stressed that sound macroeconomic fundamentals, sustainable debt management, reliable economic data, strong regulatory frameworks and credible governance are essential to creating an environment conducive to investment.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Jeetun also dwelt on the role of deeper and more liquid capital markets in diversifying financing sources and supporting infrastructure, business expansion and innovation. She outlined Mauritius\u2019 role in facilitating cross-border investment and capital integration through its financial services ecosystem, and called for practical measures to reduce investment risks and unlock greater financing for Africa\u2019s development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For her part, Ms Lisa Simrique Singh stressed the importance of accurate and transparent assessments of African economies in informing investment decisions.

This was the focus of a meeting held, today in Port\nLouis, between the Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and\nFisheries, Mr Arvind Boolell, and a delegation of the DWCT, in the presence of\nthe British High Commissioner to Mauritius, Mr Paul Brummell.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The meeting provided an\nopportunity to take stock of the longstanding collaboration between the\nGovernment of Mauritius, the DWCT and the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF),\nand to identify new areas of cooperation aimed at protecting endangered species\nand restoring fragile ecosystems.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The DWCT, an international\nconservation organisation founded in Jersey in 1959 by British naturalist and\nwriter Gerald Durrell, has been working in Mauritius for around 50 years.\nGerald Durrell visited Mauritius in 1976 to support efforts to save highly threatened\nendemic species, notably the Mauritius Kestrel and Pink Pigeon. Over the years,\nthe collaboration between Durrell, the Government and local partners has\ncontributed to major conservation achievements and enhanced expertise in island\nbiodiversity conservation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Boolell highlighted\nthe important contribution of Durrell and its partners to some of Mauritius\u2019\nmost successful conservation programmes. He referred in particular to the\nrecovery of the Mauritius Kestrel and Pink Pigeon, which are recognised as\nimportant conservation success stories.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He also spoke of the Mauritius\nIslands Restoration Programme, which works across 11 offshore islands,\nincluding Round Island. These islands host some of the world\u2019s rarest species\nand constitute important habitats requiring continued protection and\nrestoration.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister further\nemphasised the importance of the tripartite collaboration between the Ministry,\nthe DWCT and the MWF, particularly in the fields of training, scientific\nresearch and capacity building. He recalled that a Memorandum of Understanding\n(MoU) between the Ministry of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and\nFisheries, Durrell Conservation Training Ltd and the MWF was signed in June\n2022 and is valid until June 2027.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The agreement provides for\ntraining programmes to strengthen the skills and knowledge of conservation\nprofessionals, as well as the identification of areas for scientific research.\nMinister Boolell indicated that a new MoU between the Ministry, Durrell Conservation\nTraining Ltd and the MWF, focusing on cooperation and collaboration for the\nconservation of biological diversity, is currently being finalised.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For his part, High\nCommissioner Brummell commended the work undertaken by\nDurrell and its local partners to protect wildlife and restore Mauritius\u2019\noffshore islands. He described the conservation work carried out as remarkable and expressed appreciation to all those involved in protecting\nnative species and their habitats.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The DWCT delegation,\ncomprising Chief Executive Officer Ms Rebecca Brewer, Director of Field\nProgrammes, Dr Chris Ransom, Chief Scientist\/Scientific, Director Prof. Carl\nJones and Island Restoration Programme Manager, Dr Nik Cole, reaffirmed\nDurrell\u2019s commitment to Mauritius.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">They noted that the meeting\nprovided an opportunity to strengthen the longstanding partnership and identify\nnew areas of collaboration. The team believed that the strengthened partnership\nis expected to further support Mauritius\u2019 efforts to protect its unique\nbiodiversity, restore vulnerable ecosystems and build national capacity to\nensure the long-term conservation of its natural heritage.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Wide-ranging\nconservation initiatives<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The partnership between the\nMinistry, DWCT and MWF, implemented through the National Parks and Conservation\nService (NPCS), covers a broad range of conservation initiatives. These include\nthe Reptile Conservation Project, launched in 2006, which focuses on captive\nbreeding of endangered native reptiles and their release into their natural\nhabitats, particularly on offshore islets.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The collaboration has also\nsupported the recovery of endemic bird species through ex-situ captive breeding\nand release programmes involving the Mauritius Kestrel, Pink Pigeon, Echo\nParakeet, Olive White-eye and Mauritian Fody.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Capacity building remains\nanother important area of cooperation, with conservation personnel benefiting\nfrom training through the Durrell Conservation Academy and the Durrell\nEndangered Species Management Graduate Course.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Island ecosystem restoration\nprogrammes on Round Island, Gunner\u2019s Quoin, the south-east islets and \u00cele aux\nAigrettes, among others, involve invasive species removal, replanting of native\nspecies, species conservation and scientific monitoring. Biodiversity\nconservation projects covering flora and fauna are also undertaken in\nRodrigues.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Cooperation also extends to\nmarine-seabird conservation, including ecological mapping, population\nassessment and monitoring of species such as petrels and shearwaters in the\nIndian Ocean region.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

He referred to its potential applications\nin sectors such as agriculture and fisheries, where timely access to\ninformation can support productivity and informed decision-making.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nalso called for greater awareness of the practical applications of satellite\ndata, sector-specific training and stronger support for users to facilitate the\nuptake of available technologies across different sectors.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nevent featured presentations on the Mauritius Space Initiative and the\napplications of satellite data. For their part, representatives of the MRIC, the\nMauritius Meteorological Services and the Ministry of Housing and Lands\nhighlighted the potential of space technologies and Earth observation data to\nsupport research, policymaking and national development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Space Strategy<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nSpace Strategy 2036 sets out four key priorities: developing national expertise\nin space science and technology; increasing the use of satellite data in\npolicymaking; promoting collaborative research, particularly in the blue\neconomy; and expanding partnerships with international space organisations,\nincluding the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), European\nSpace Agency (ESA), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and United\nNations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA).<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">It\nbuilds on several milestones, including the commissioning of the MRIC Ground Station\nin 2021 and the deployment of MIR-SAT1, the country\u2019s first nanosatellite,\nunder the KiboCUBE programme. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">International\ncooperation has also expanded through a Memorandum of Understanding signed with\nthe ISRO in 2023, collaboration with Airbus on satellite imagery, and\nMauritius\u2019 signing of the Artemis Accords in July 2026, alongside the\ndesignation of the MRIC as the National Focal Point for Space Matters in\nSeptember 2026, with responsibility for coordinating the country\u2019s\ninternational engagements in the space sector.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Looking\nahead, the Strategy provides for enhanced Earth observation services across\nMauritius\u2019 2.3 million square kilometres of Exclusive Economic Zone, the\nestablishment of a National Space Data Repository, and stronger STEM education\nand skills development. In the longer term, it envisages the establishment of a\nNational Space Agency and the development of a regional hub for climate data\nservices.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align:

Yousuf Abdul Razack Mohamed, at Coteau Raffin, La\nGaulette. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nwas accompanied by officials from his Ministry, as well as the President of the\nDistrict Council of Black River, Mr Khemraj Ortoo, and representatives from the\nMinistry of Local Government, Ministry of Energy and Public Utilities, and the\nLand Drainage Authority (LDA).<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">During\nthe visit, the Minister observed that 41 regularised families are still living\nwithout access to essential utilities, including running water and electricity.\nDescribing the situation as unacceptable, Minister Mohamed called for urgent\ncoordination among the Central Water Authority, Central Electricity Board, LDA\nand the District Council to fast-track the provision of these services.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Additionally,\nMr Mohamed addressed the situation of 20 other homes awaiting regularisation,\nassuring residents that Ministry surveyors have identified the occupants to\ninitiate the necessary legal procedures.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister reiterated that a key mission of his Ministry is to support families\nliving irregularly on State land in conditions of poverty and enable them to\nregain their full dignity. This undertaking requires thorough field assessments\nand close coordination among the relevant agencies, he said.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nultimate objective, the Minister emphasised, is to ensure that these citizens\nhave access to a legal and decent living environment that restores human\ndignity, enables parents to access employment opportunities and allows children\nto attend school.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">During\nthe visit, Minister Mohamed also drew attention to several illegal structures\nrecently erected on a nearby portion of land proclaimed as a public beach. He\nstated that such constructions are strictly unlawful and that no encroachment\nwould be tolerated, adding that the matter would be referred immediately to the\nBeach Authority.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinistry of Housing and Lands remains committed to identifying the difficulties\nfaced by families living in squatter settlements and providing them with just\nand humane housing solutions, he further stated.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>06 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Housing<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>National Accounts enhanced to provide more accurate picture of Mauritian economy<\/h1><div id='gallery-2448' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2448' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11060' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2448' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2448' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nNational Accounts have been comprehensively enhanced to provide a more\ncomplete, accurate and internationally comparable representation of the\nMauritian economy, following the latest National Accounts Estimates published\nby Statistics Mauritius on 30 September 2026.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nenhancement includes three main changes. The first is the establishment of 2023\nas the new benchmark year, replacing 2018, based on the results of the 2023\nCensus of Economic Activities, the 2023 Household Budget Survey, the 2024\nCensus of Agriculture and strengthened administrative data sources. The second\nis the phased implementation of the 2025 System of National Accounts (2025\nSNA), with full implementation targeted by 2029. The third concerns improved\ncoverage and classification of Global Business Companies (GBCs), including\nthose involved in merchanting and trading activities, in line with\nrecommendations of different International Monetary Fund (IMF) technical\nassistances.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">These\nchanges have resulted in an increase of around Rs 58 billion in the level of\nGross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2023. The increase comprises Rs 27 billion\nfrom the change in the benchmark year, improved data coverage and\nreconciliation based on the Census of Economic Activities; Rs 11 billion from\nthe implementation of the 2025 SNA; and Rs 20 billion from the inclusion of\nmerchanting by GBCs, as recommended by the IMF technical assistances.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">To\nensure greater consistency across the national accounts series, Statistics\nMauritius has also revised GDP figures as far back as 2013, producing a more\ncoherent and comparable series.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nenhancement process will continue with a new Census of Economic Activities\nplanned for 2028, in line with the recommended five-year cycle. Its results\nwill be used for a further rebasing and benchmarking exercise and a review of\nthe National Accounts Estimates. In parallel, Statistics Mauritius will\ncontinue implementing the 2025 SNA, with full implementation targeted for 2029.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>06 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Cabinet Decisions<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Mauritius Institute of Education -  Vacancies<\/h1>\r\n<div style=\"\r\n    max-width: 100%;\r\n    border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;\r\n    padding: 5px;\r\n    border-radius: 6px;\r\n    background:#f9f9f9;\r\n\">\r\n\r\n<object data=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgisnews.govmu.org%2FGalleryFile%2FGetCommuniqueDocument%3FnewsId%3D2449%26communiquesFileName%3DNotice+of+Vacancies+-+MIE+%28Amended%29.pdf&#038;embedded=true\"\r\n        type=\"application\/pdf\"\r\n        style=\"\r\n            width: 100%;\r\n            height: 1030px;\r\n            border: 1px solid #ccc;\r\n            border-radius: 4px;\r\n            display:block;\r\n        \">\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The need for stronger regulation, aggressive campaign on pesticide use among planters, and monitoring and scientific assessment of pesticide use in food-crop cultivation was at the centre of discussions at the first meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on the abusive use of pesticides and its potential impact on public health, held yesterday in Ebene.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Committee was co-chaired by the Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and Fisheries, Dr Arvin Boolell, and the Minister of Health and Wellness, Mr Anil Kumar Bachoo. Its establishment follows a Cabinet decision to examine concerns relating to pesticide abuse and cancer prevalence in Mauritius.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Junior Minister, Mrs Anishta Babooram, World Health Organization (WHO) Representative, Dr Abdou Salam Gueye, and stakeholders from both Ministries amongst others were present. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a statement, Minister Boolell stressed the importance of establishing a strong scientific and evidence-based understanding of the potential health effects of pesticide exposure. He called for an epidemiological study to assess the prevalence and possible causes of cancer, including whether exposure to pesticides through locally produced and imported food could be a contributing factor.  <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He emphasised that the expertise of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the WHO would be sought to conduct a comprehensive assessment based on facts, scientific evidence and reliable data. Such research, he said, would provide the authorities with the evidence needed to formulate appropriate policy and regulatory measures, guide planters on the proper use and application of pesticides, and establish maximum permissible residue levels.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Boolell also called for strict compliance with the Use of Pesticides Act, noting that intensive agricultural practices and the inappropriate use of pesticides, including the mixing of different products and the use of banned substances, remain matters of concern. He indicated that around 9 to 10 per cent of samples tested have been found to contain pesticide residues exceeding permissible limits.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He underlined the need for a more robust approach to enforcement and greater awareness among planters of the health and environmental consequences of non-compliance. \u201cPrevention is better than cure,\u201d he stressed, calling for an aggressive and coordinated policy to strengthen compliance, monitoring and enforcement.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister further highlighted the importance of ensuring that planters use appropriate personal protective equipment to safeguard their own health and that of their families, particularly children. He indicated that the relevant legislations could be reviewed and amended, where necessary, to ensure the safe, appropriate and responsible use of pesticides.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Boolell also encouraged the agricultural sector to embrace smart and sustainable farming practices, including greater adoption of organic agriculture, while urging planters to act responsibly in the use of pesticides.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For his part, Minister Bachoo highlighted the urgency of addressing the growing cancer burden, noting that around 300 new cases are recorded every month, with women particularly affected. He acknowledged concerns that pesticide exposure could be contributing to the rise in cancer cases, but stressed that no such link could be established without supporting scientific research and reliable data.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He also warned that the excessive or improper use of pesticides could pose serious risks to public health, underscoring the need for a robust and integrated monitoring framework.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Bachoo called for a shift from isolated initiatives towards a coordinated national framework bringing together regulation, surveillance, laboratory testing, environmental monitoring and public-health data. Such an approach, he said, would enable Mauritius to better understand pesticide exposure, strengthen the protection of citizens\u2019 health, support the agricultural sector and generate the scientific evidence needed to address concerns surrounding pesticides and cancer prevalence.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>06 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Health, Agriculture<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Traffic fines payable online as from 30 October 2026<\/h1><div id='gallery-2451' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2451' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11061' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2451' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2451' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\npublic will be able to pay fixed penalties electronically for traffic offences\nnot carrying penalty points as from 30 October 2026.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Available\nthrough the Supreme Court Portal, this facility will be introduced following\nthe promulgation of the Road Traffic (Amendment of Schedule) (No. 3)\nRegulations 2026.

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nState Age Pension (SAP) Online Application will be available as from Wednesday\n7 October 2026 on mosap.govmu.org, enabling new SAP beneficiaries to\nsubmit their applications online without having to queue at the offices of the Ministry\nof Social Integration, Social Security and National Solidarity.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nnew online service was officially launched today by the Minister of Social\nIntegration, Social Security and National Solidarity, Mr Ashok Kumar Subron, in\nthe presence of the Junior Minister, Mr Kuvalayan Kugan Parapen, and officials\nof the Ministry, at a press conference held in Port Louis.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nSubron highlighted that the SAP will replace the Basic Retirement Pension (BRP)\nas from 1 January 2027. Under the new system, citizens will have the option of\nreceiving an Early SAP as from age 60, a Standard SAP at the prescribed pension\nage of 65, or a Late SAP from age 65 up to 70.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nrecalled that the SAP Estimate Application was launched on 27 August 2026,\nenabling citizens to obtain an estimate of the amount they may receive. To\ndate, around 492,597 persons have accessed the Estimate Application through the\nKOREK! application and the Ministry\u2019s website.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nSubron stressed that the online application would spare elderly citizens the\nneed to queue to submit their applications. He also called for greater\ninter-generational solidarity, urging young people to assist elderly persons\nwith the online application and facilitate their access to the new service.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nlaunch is an important milestone in the Government\u2019s efforts to digitalise\nsocial security services, reduce paperwork and make public services more\naccessible and efficient, he underscored.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nSubron said that the Government is advancing the Ministry\u2019s digital\ntransformation, with around 50 per cent of its files already scanned. He added\nthat the Ministry\u2019s services are expected to be available online by early 2027.\nHe also stressed the importance of ensuring the smooth implementation of the\nSAP in January 2027, alongside measures to improve the efficiency,\naccessibility and citizen-centred delivery of public services.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Junior\nMinister Parapen indicated that around 260,000 elderly persons currently\nbenefiting from the BRP will transition automatically to the SAP. They will\ntherefore not be required to submit an application and will continue to receive\ntheir pensions<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nonline application, he clarified, is intended only for new SAP beneficiaries,\nnamely persons born on or after 1 January 1966. Persons born before 31 December\n1965 are already benefiting from the BRP and will continue to do so until\nDecember 2026 before transitioning automatically to the SAP.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr\nParapen explained that SAP applications can be submitted up to three months\nbefore the eligible age. For example, a person born in February 1966 will be\nable to apply as from November 2026 to receive the full SAP. Elderly persons\nwithout access to online services will still be able to submit their\napplications at the Ministry\u2019s offices, he added.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">A series of measures are being implemented to increase the volume of\nwater available for distribution and mitigate the impact of declining reservoir\nlevels, announced the Minister of Energy and Public Utilities, Mr Patrick\nAssirvaden, yesterday during a press conference in Port Louis.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Prior to that the Minister had a meeting with representatives of the\nMauritius Meteorological Services, the Central Water Authority (CWA), the Water\nResources Commission, the Irrigation Authority and the Wastewater Management\nAuthority, amongst other stakeholders, to assess the local water situation and\ndetermine the way forward.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Assirvaden highlighted that around 10 boreholes will be\nconnected to the water distribution network, particularly in affected regions\nof the island. These are expected to provide some 31,000 cubic metres of\nadditional water by the end of October this year and help compensate for the\nreduction in water currently available for treatment and distribution.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He outlined that the authorities are also deploying Containerised Pressure\nFiltration (CPF) units capable of drawing water from rivers, treating it and\nfeeding it into the distribution network. According to him, 15 CPF units were\nordered some five months ago, of which seven have already arrived. Once\ndeployed, the units are expected to provide an additional capacity of around\n33,000 cubic metres of water.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The CWA will also reinforce the deployment of water tankers to assist\nareas experiencing supply difficulties, particularly where low pressure\nprevents water from reaching household tanks. Around 35 tankers will be\nmobilised daily, including higher-capacity vehicles.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Providing an overview of the current situation, Minister Assirvaden\nindicated that Mare-aux-Vacoas Reservoir stood at 35.9% of its capacity as at\n06 October 2026, compared to 88.6% on the corresponding date last year. This,\nhe said, represents around 13 million cubic metres less water in the reservoir.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He further pointed out that the volume of water available from Mare-aux-Vacoas\nfor treatment and distribution has declined significantly, thereby requiring\nrestrictions and careful management of available resources. According to\nmeteorological indications presented during the meeting, an improvement in\nrainfall is not expected before the second half of December.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Assirvaden moreover stated that a monitoring committee will\nmeet daily to review the situation across all six water supply zones and enable\nresources to be deployed according to requirements.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">On that note, he urged the population to use water judiciously and avoid\nwastage, while encouraging households to store water when supply is available.\nHe also reassured that Government and relevant authorities will continue to\nmonitor the situation and implement measures to improve supply while managing\navailable water resources responsibly.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Government and Meta are strengthening cooperation to address emerging online safety and digital security challenges, with particular focus on protecting children, women and other vulnerable users.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is at the core of a full-day workshop which kicked off this morning in Ebene in presence of the Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare, Mrs Marie Arianne Navarre-Marie; the Minister of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, Dr Avinash Ramtohul; several Ministers, Members of Parliament and other dignitaries. Meta\u2019s Director of Public Policy for Sub-Saharan Africa, Mrs Balkissa Ide Siddo, participated via videoconference.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">A Meta delegation is in Mauritius on 6 and 7 October 2026 at the initiative of the Ministry of Technology, Communication and Innovation for a series of working sessions with governmental institutions and other stakeholders. Meta representatives, Mrs Sylvia Musalagani and Mr Thabo Makenete, are facilitating discussions and sharing their expertise on the various issues.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The workshop brings together representatives of Government institutions and Meta to explore practical measures to tackle a range of online challenges, including content moderation, child online safety, misinformation and disinformation, impersonation, as well as the growing risks associated with artificial intelligence-generated content and deepfakes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her keynote address, Acting Prime Minister Navarre-Marie described the workshop as the beginning of a stronger working relationship between the Government and Meta. She called for enhanced cooperation, including clear escalation procedures, effective reporting channels and timely intervention when harmful content is identified.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">She also stressed the need for content moderation systems to better recognise abusive material in local languages and language varieties.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mrs Navarre-Marie recalled that online violence is increasingly becoming a societal challenge, with consequences extending beyond individual victims to families and the wider community.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">She referred to figures published by the Mauritius Digital Promotion Agency, based on data from the Information and Communication Technologies Authority and CERT-MU, showing that reported security incidents increased from 5,221 in 2024 to 6,073 in 2025.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Over the same period, reported cases of online harassment rose from 1,324 to 1,636, while cybercrime cases increased from 491 to 702. Reported incidents of sextortion also climbed from 178 to 223.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Acting Prime Minister noted that behind every reported incident is an individual whose privacy may have been violated, whose reputation damaged, whose security threatened or whose peace of mind seriously affected.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Digital platforms, therefore she mentioned should remain spaces for opportunity and connection rather than environments where abuse, intimidation and exploitation can take place.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">She further underlined that child online safety must remain a priority, with technology companies expected to play an active role in designing safer services, identifying potential risks and responding promptly when children are exposed to harm.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cWe have a responsibility to act collectively, decisively and with a clear sense of urgency. Let us build a digital environment that serves the people, protects children, empowers women and upholds the dignity of every citizen,\u201d she stated.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For his part, Minister Ramtohul highlighted the extensive reach of Meta platforms in Mauritius. He noted that internet penetration stands at approximately 82.5 per cent, while around 85 per cent of the population uses Meta products.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He called for responsible use of digital platforms while emphasising the importance of balancing freedom of expression with respect for privacy, dignity and the rights of others.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Ramtohul pointed out that discussions with Meta will seek to establish clearer protocols for reporting harmful content and processing takedown requests, including stronger cooperation with the Police, CERT-MU and other law-enforcement agencies.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He underscored the growing challenge posed by AI-generated content, including manipulated images and deepfakes. He also spoke of reviewing existing cybercrime legislative framework while considering emerging legal and regulatory issues linked to AI.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Addressing participants virtually, Mrs Siddo reaffirmed Meta\u2019s commitment to transparency and follow-up and expressed the company\u2019s intention to establish a long-term partnership with Mauritius while providing practical solutions.<br><\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br> A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) entitled \u201cIntroduction to Integrated\nCoastal Zone Management (ICZM) for Decision-Making\u201d, aimed at\nstrengthening the capacity of decision-makers for the sustainable management of\ncoastal areas was launched, today at The Docks 2 in Caudan.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Developed under the Regional Programme for the\nResilience of Coastal Populations and Ecosystems in the South-West Indian Ocean\n(RECOS), the online course is implemented by the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC),\nwith the support of the Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement (AFD) and the\nFrench Facility for Global Environment, in collaboration with the Mauritius\nInstitute of Education and other partners.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Speaking at the launch, the Minister of\nEnvironment, Solid Waste Management and Climate Change, Mr Rajesh Bhagwan, said that Mauritius\u2019 coastline is a vital space where environmental,\neconomic and social interests converge. He noted that coastal areas support key\nsectors such as tourism and fisheries, while facing increasing pressures from\nclimate change, coastal erosion and human activities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He underpinned that coastal management decisions\nmust be based on reliable data and sound scientific evidence, while taking into\naccount the perspectives of different stakeholders. He also highlighted the\nimportance of strengthening technical capacity and cooperation among\nGovernment, local authorities, the private sector, communities, academia, civil\nsociety and the media.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister recalled that Mauritius is\nimplementing several initiatives to protect its coastline, including a coastal\nerosion adaptation programme covering more than 11.5 kilometres across 17\npriority sites, combining engineering and nature-based solutions. He also\nreferred to the National Coastal Management Strategy under preparation and the\nrelaunch of the Maurice \u00cele Durable programme.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Bhagwan indicated that the MOOC would serve as\nan important capacity-building tool for decision-makers from both the public\nand private sectors. Through five modules, the online course will provide\nparticipants with a better understanding of the environmental, social and\neconomic dimensions of coastal management and support evidence-based\ndecision-making, he added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Also present, the Deputy Director of AFD Mauritius\nand Seychelles, Mr Philippe Phan, underlined that environmental issues, spatial\nplanning and economic activities along the coast are closely interconnected. He\nstated that the MOOC could help decision-makers better take these interactions\ninto account.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for the Charg\u00e9 de Mission at the IOC, Mr Anfani\nMsoili, he dwelt on the importance of understanding ICZM before taking action.\nHe highlighted that ICZM should not only be limited to specialists but should\nalso be understood by decision-makers, economic stakeholders, the media and\ncitizens.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The launch forms part of an awareness campaign on\nICZM being implemented in Mauritius under the RECOS project. The campaign\nincludes public consultations, digital awareness activities, educational videos\nand a capacity-building workshop for media professionals.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The RECOS project aims to strengthen the resilience\nof coastal populations to climate change by promoting sustainable and inclusive\nmanagement of coastal ecosystems across the South-West Indian Ocean region. In\nMauritius, particular emphasis is being placed on promoting greater\nunderstanding and adoption of ICZM among decision-makers, local stakeholders\nand the public.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Public-Private Dialogue on the Implementation of\nthe Anti-Bribery Pillar organised by the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC), in\ncollaboration with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development\n(OECD), kickstarted this morning in Flic-en-Flac.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The three-day event being held under the OECD Mauritius\nCountry Programme, will focus on the theme, \u201cCreating the Conditions for\nMauritius\u2019 Accession to the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign\nPublic Officials in International Business Transactions.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event brings together representatives of the OECD,\ncountries that are members of the OECD Working Group on Bribery, law\nenforcement and anti-corruption agencies, public institutions and the private\nsector. Discussions will focus, among others, on the role of the public and\nprivate sectors in preventing, detecting and combating corruption, as well as\non ways to strengthen cooperation between the two sectors.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his keynote address, the Attorney General, Mr Gavin Glover, underscored the pivotal role Mauritius plays in\nstructuring investment flows into Africa, largely driven by its active\nengagement with the OECD. He described Mauritius as a small, open, and\ninternationally connected economy built on a foundational framework of\npolitical stability, the rule of law, and institutional credibility. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He cautioned that foreign bribery and financial crimes\nseverely corrode this credibility, distort competition, and disadvantage\nenterprises operating in good faith, ultimately damaging investor confidence,\nbanking relationships, and global market access.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">To safeguard its economic integrity, the Attorney\nGeneral outlined several critical steps and upcoming milestones under a broader\ninternational strategy detailed in the 2025\u201329 Program. This initiative\nexplicitly commits Mauritius to good governance, institutional independence,\nand the comprehensive restoration of trust. As part of this commitment,\nMauritius will undergo its next major international evaluation in 2027 to\nassess the effectiveness of its financial intelligence, investigations,\nprosecutions, asset recovery, and international cooperation, he recalled.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Furthermore, Mr Glover announced that the Government\nwill shortly establish a dedicated National Crime Agency to tackle financial\ncrimes, cybercrimes, and complex organised crimes. This will be supported by\nthe upcoming implementation of the major Criminal Justice (Offenders Assisting\nInvestigations and Prosecutions) Bill, which will further strengthen the\nnation's legal arsenal, he added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Attorney General emphasised that a robust\nanti-bribery framework is a deliberate choice that serves the national\ninterest. By reinforcing Mauritius\u2019 position as a trusted international\nfinancial centre founded on transparency, substance, and integrity, the country\nsignificantly enhances its capacity to dismantle complex, cross-border\ntransactions and combat illicit financial flows, he pointed out. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Carmine Di Noia, Director for Financial and\nEnterprise Affairs of the OECD, commended Mauritius for its proactive\nleadership in spearheading the high-level dialogue, underlining the nation's\nactive engagement on the issue. According to Dr Di Noia, while robust laws and\nstrong public institutions form the bedrock of integrity, seamless\ncollaboration between public authorities and the private sector is equally\nessential as well fostering a culture of trust and integrity. He underlined that\nthe credibility of anti-bribery frameworks hinges entirely on their effective\nimplementation and enforcement, alongside credible reporting channels and\nrobust whistleblower protections.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Maintaining these high\nstandards, he added, will reinforce global trust and significantly boost\ninvestor confidence.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Director-General of the FCC, Mr T. Dawoodarry, stated\nthat law enforcement alone cannot defeat bribery, urging the private\nsector\u2014specifically compliance officers, auditors, and frontline staff\u2014to act\nas the first line of defence.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">To strengthen this collaborative framework, he\nencouraged companies to adopt comprehensive compliance programs aligned with\nthe OECD Good Practice Guidance on Internal Controls, Ethics, and Compliance. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Furthermore, Mr Dawoodarry highlighted that committing\nto the Anti-Bribery Convention will secure Mauritius's reputation as a\ntransparent global financial centre, particularly ahead of the 2027 Eastern and\nSouthern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group mutual evaluation. <\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Government is moving to strengthen the fight against online abuse in Mauritius, with closer cooperation with Meta on tackling fake accounts, identity impersonation, hate speech and illegal content. The move follows discussions between Government officials and Meta representatives yesterday in Ebene, with both sides exploring faster content-removal mechanisms and a proposed framework for cooperation tailored to Mauritius.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The working session, organised\nby the Ministry of Technology, Communication and Innovation, brought together several\nMinisters, Members of Parliament and governmental institutions and Meta\nrepresentatives to examine the legal framework and operational challenges\nsurrounding online platforms.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Minister of Technology,\nCommunication and Innovation, Dr Avinash Ramtohul, raised several pertinent issues\nincluding the possibility of developing tools to prevent the\npublication of certain unacceptable terms in English, French and Kreol. The need for policies that take into account\nthe Mauritian context, as well as stronger moderation in Mauritian Kreol were brought forth.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Particular attention was given to the possibility of Meta\nhaving local representation in Mauritius, which could facilitate closer\nengagement with the authorities. Proposed amendments to the Cybersecurity and\nCybercrime Act 2021 were also discussed, alongside mechanisms for faster\nhandling of content takedown requests.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Child online safety emerged as another key area. Discussions covered age assurance, verifiable identity, stronger protection for children by default and safeguards against harmful interactions between minors and strangers. Meta outlined measures including Instagram Teen Accounts, privacy and account protections, content settings, reporting and blocking tools, as well as educational resources for teenagers and parents.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Meta stakeholders also highlighted mechanisms allowing minors (or their parents\/guardians) to request the removal of their images, alongside strict, rapid-response procedures for handling Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The company also outlined several reporting and escalation mechanisms, including its Government Content Reporting channel, Law Enforcement Online Request system, Critical Incident Escalation process and Trusted Partner Programme as tools to facilitate cooperation with authorities and address urgent cases.<br><\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>08 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

chapter in Africa\u2019s financial architecture was marked, yesterday afternoon, at the InterContinental Resort in Balaclava with the official launch of the African Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA), aimed at strengthening the assessment of African economies and supporting improved access to capital.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The ceremony was attended by the Acting President of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr Robert Hungley; the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr (Mrs) Jyoti Jeetun; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, Mr Dhananjay Ramful; the Prime Minister of the Republic of Burundi, Mr Nestor Ntahontuye; the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mr Mahmoud Ali Youssouf; the Chief Executive Officer of the African Peer Review Mechanism, Ambassador Marie Antoinette Rose-Quatre; and other dignitaries.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her address, Dr Jeetun stated that AfCRA will help ensure that Africa\u2019s economic realities, risks, opportunities and potential are more accurately understood by international markets. She pointed out that the way economies are assessed can influence their international perception and, consequently, investor confidence and access to capital. Against this backdrop, she reaffirmed Mauritius\u2019 commitment to strengthening Africa\u2019s financial ecosystem and supporting investment opportunities across the continent.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For his part, Minister Ramful described the establishment of AfCRA as a historic institutional milestone in Africa\u2019s efforts to strengthen its position in global financial governance. He underlined that the international credit rating market is highly concentrated and stressed the importance of developing an institution capable of providing an assessment grounded in African realities. He also noted that AfCRA\u2019s success would ultimately be measured by the confidence it earns in international capital markets.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for the Prime Minister of Burundi, he presented AfCRA as an expression of Africa\u2019s aspiration for greater financial sovereignty. He underscored the impact of sovereign credit ratings on countries\u2019 ability to finance infrastructure, energy, education, healthcare and productive sectors. He called for the support of Governments, central banks, the private sector and development partners to ensure the agency\u2019s successful operation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Turning to the broader financial landscape, Mr Ali Youssouf pointed to AfCRA\u2019s contribution to Africa\u2019s wider efforts to strengthen financial sovereignty and build expertise in assessing its economies. He called for parallel reforms to the global financial system to address structural challenges that continue to affect Africa\u2019s access to finance.<\/p>Press conference held ahead of official launch<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Earlier, a press conference was held in the presence of Dr Jeetun, Mr Ali Youssouf and Ambassador Rose-Quatre, during which the dignitaries outlined the evolution of the AfCRA initiative, from its endorsement by the African Union in 2017 and the APRM\u2019s subsequent mandate to operationalise it in 2024, to the development of its institutional, technical and governance framework.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">They explained that AfCRA would complement existing international rating agencies by providing additional African data, expertise and context in the assessment of the continent\u2019s economies. The agency\u2019s operations, they noted, would be guided by sound methodologies, technical rigour, transparency and robust governance to ensure the quality and reliability of its assessments.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>08 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Financial Services<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>\ufeffNew Trauma and Emergency Unit opens at Victoria Hospital<\/h1><div id='gallery-2497' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='4' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='5' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='6' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='7' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='8' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide-to='9' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11172' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11173' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11174' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11175' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11176' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11177' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11178' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11179' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11180' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11181' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2497' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nnew Trauma and Emergency Unit at Victoria Hospital, Candos, introducing a\nmodern triage system for faster and more effective emergency care, was\ninaugurated yesterday by the Minister of Health and Wellness, Mr Anil Kumar\nBachoo.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nJunior Minister, Mrs Anishta Babooram, senior health officials, doctors and\nother personalities were present.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nnew facility will enable patients requiring urgent intervention, including\nthose involved in accidents or suffering from heart attacks or strokes, to\nreceive immediate attention. A colour-coded triage system will be used to\nprioritise critical cases over patients requiring routine care.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\na statement, Minister Bachoo emphasised that the implementation of trauma and\nemergency units across the country\u2019s main hospitals marks a major milestone in\nthe transformation and modernisation of healthcare services.  The initiative addresses longstanding\nconcerns over waiting times in emergency departments and aims to reduce\npreventable deaths resulting from delays in treatment, he added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nmoreover recalled budgetary measures for the creation of specialised clinical\nzones, including dedicated trauma, emergency and stroke units. These facilities,\nhe indicated, are intended to separate acute stroke and critical trauma cases\nfrom routine outpatient traffic, enabling patients to receive timely care\naccording to their specific needs.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Speaking\nabout preventive measures against diabetes, Minister Bachoo said that\nGovernment is also setting up dedicated diabetes wards in hospitals. He pointed\nout that more than 600 amputations are carried out annually due to\ndiabetes-related complications, adding that greater awareness, prevention and\nearly intervention are essential to reducing this figure.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister further announced measures to improve emergency services, including\nthe acquisition of additional ambulances and the recruitment of some 26 SAMU\nemergency physicians. These measures are expected to help save lives, improve\npatient outcomes and increase the capacity of emergency services to respond to\nmore people.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nreferred to a new service at Victoria Hospital to improve the monitoring of\npatients who have undergone pacemaker implantation. Through an application\ninstalled on the patient\u2019s mobile phone, relevant information will be\ntransmitted to the hospital\u2019s system, enabling healthcare professionals to\nmonitor patients more effectively.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">According\nto him, these measures are being implemented in line with Government\u2019s vision\nto protect and safeguard lives and ensure that every citizen has access to\ntimely, specialised and quality healthcare services.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The proposed National Crime Agency (NCA) and wider reforms aimed at\nstrengthening the investigation and prosecution of serious and complex crimes\nwere at the centre of a panel discussion held yesterday at the Office of the\nDirector of Public Prosecutions in Port Louis.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The discussions brought together, as panellists, the Attorney-General,\nMr Gavin Glover; the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Mr Rashid Ahmine; and\nthe President of the Mauritius Bar Association, Mr Antoine Domingue, to examine\nthe proposed National Crime Agency and the Police and Criminal Justice Bills.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Attorney-General Glover highlighted that the proposed reforms are part\nof efforts to establish a new ecosystem for criminal justice in Mauritius,\nencompassing new legislation, strengthened safeguards, more effective\ninvestigative processes and closer collaboration between investigative and\nprosecutorial authorities. He explained that the NCA would operate as a\nspecialised agency dealing with financial crime, cybercrime and other complex,\nserious and organised crime. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to him, the Commissioner of Police will retain his powers,\nwith the NCA and Police expected to work collaboratively through, amongst\nothers, an operational protocol, joint investigations and information-sharing\nmechanisms.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Addressing surveillance provisions, the Attorney-General distinguished\nsurveillance conducted from public places from intrusive surveillance and\ninterception. He indicated that intrusive measures would require approval of\nthe NCA\u2019s Director-General and judicial authorisation, with the Judge also\nrequired to consider proportionality and determine the duration of the order.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">DPP Ahmine expressed support for the proposed NCA framework and outlined\nthe importance of its intelligence capability, joint investigations and closer\ncooperation between investigators and prosecutors. He observed that early\nconsultation with prosecutors during investigations can help address evidential\nissues and reduce delays once cases reach the prosecution stage.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The DPP nevertheless stressed that the NCA must form part of a holistic\nreform of the criminal justice system, supported by a modern prosecution\nservice and an efficient court system. Mauritius, he stated, requires an\ninvestigative agency that is strong, efficient, independent and credible, and\nthe proposed legislation represents a good starting point towards that\nobjective.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr Domingue, emphasising that he was expressing his personal views,\ncalled for support for effective investigation of serious crime, recovery of\ncriminal assets and protection of victims, and underpinned that reforms must be\nundertaken within the existing constitutional framework. He called for clearly\ndefined investigative powers, effective judicial oversight and protection of\nlegal professional privilege.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The panel discussion was followed by an interactive dialogue with\nparticipants.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

Addressing these pervasive\nthreats requires a highly coordinated response from law enforcement\ninstitutions and all agencies involved in combating financial crimes, she\nobserved.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\"Our standing as a trusted international financial centre\nrests on political stability, the rule of law, and the credibility of our\ninstitutions,\" Mrs Fong Weng-Poorun stated, underlining that this\nhard-earned reputation is a vital national asset that must be protected.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her\nremarks, the Vice-Chair of the OECD Working Group on Bribery and Senior Policy\nAdvisor at the Netherlands Ministry of Justice and Security, Ms Kiki Calis, praised\nMauritius\u2019 bid to join the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention as a clear signal of\nits dedication to global anti-corruption standards. She highlighted\nthat the workshop is designed to support Mauritius as it advances vital legal\nand institutional reforms, including the development of the National Crime\nAgency. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">On her part,\nthe Commissioner of the FCC,  Mrs Virginie Lennon,  remarked that combating foreign bribery\neffectively requires institutions to maintain a unified understanding of the\nconvention and act decisively within their mandates.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">She concluded\nthat the workshop provides a vital opportunity to strengthen institutional\nconnections, clarify operational standards, and learn from nations already\nimplementing the convention.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Water\nproduction at the La Marie Water Treatment Plant has dropped significantly,\nfrom around 110,000 cubic metres per day to 56,000 cubic metres per day.\nAgainst this backdrop, the Minister of Energy and Public Utilities, Mr Patrick\nGervais Assirvaden, led a site visit at La Marie this morning to assess the\nsituation and take stock of measures being implemented to safeguard the water\nsupply to the population.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nwas accompanied by the General Manager of the Central Water Authority (CWA), Mr\nShyam Thanoo, CWA technicians, officers of the Water Resources Commission and\nofficials of the Ministry.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\na statement following the visit, Minister Assirvaden indicated that treated\nwater from the plant is distributed to the Upper and Lower Plaines Wilhems.  The situation, he pointed out, is primarily\nattributable to the sharp decline in the water level at Mare-aux-Vacoas, where\nthe available volume currently stands at around 36.5%, compared to 88% during\nthe corresponding period last year. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nsituation calls for restrictions, as well as the careful and responsible\nmanagement of available water resources, he emphasised.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Government,\nthe Minister highlighted, is accelerating measures to address the reduction in\nwater production. These include connecting additional boreholes to the\ndistribution network and deploying Containerised Pressure Filtration (CPF)\nunits capable of drawing water from rivers, treating it and feeding it directly\ninto the network at La Marie.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\ninterventions are expected to provide around 60,000 cubic metres of additional\nwater, helping to offset the current shortfall in supply to the Plaines Wilhems\nregion.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister recalled that 15 CPF units were ordered five months ago, of which\nseven have already arrived. Once deployed, the units are expected to provide\naround 33,000 cubic metres of water.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nCWA will issue a communiqu\u00e9 informing the public of the days and times when\nwater will be supplied in different areas, allowing households to make the\nnecessary arrangements and store water in advance, he indicated.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\naddition, Minister Assirvaden encouraged households to acquire water storage\ntanks to ensure water availability on days when supply is interrupted. He indicated\nthat Government provides grants for the purchase of water tanks and pumps, and\nthat discussions are underway to streamline the procedures and facilitate the\nacquisition process.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nparallel, the CWA will increase the deployment of water tankers with greater\ncapacity to assist areas experiencing difficulties with water supply, he said.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister emphasised that Mauritius relies heavily on rainfall to replenish its\nwater resources, highlighting the need to develop alternative and sustainable\nsources of supply. The Ministry is exploring such alternatives and seeking\ninternational expertise and know-how to support the implementation of\nsolutions, including water desalination, he added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Government\nand the relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will\ncontinue to implement measures to safeguard water supply while ensuring the\nresponsible and sustainable management of the country\u2019s available water\nresources, he stated.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>08 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Water Resources<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>IFB - Performance Liquid Chromatography<\/h1>\r\n<div style=\"\r\n    max-width: 100%;\r\n    border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;\r\n    padding: 5px;\r\n    border-radius: 6px;\r\n    background:#f9f9f9;\r\n\">\r\n\r\n<object data=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgisnews.govmu.org%2FGalleryFile%2FGetCommuniqueDocument%3FnewsId%3D2518%26communiquesFileName%3DIFB+-+Performance+Liquid+Chromatography.pdf&#038;embedded=true\"\r\n        type=\"application\/pdf\"\r\n        style=\"\r\n            width: 100%;\r\n            height: 1030px;\r\n            border: 1px solid #ccc;\r\n            border-radius: 4px;\r\n            display:block;\r\n        \">\r\n<\/object>\r\n\r\n<\/div><div class='description'><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><\/p><p style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/GetCommuniqueDocument?newsId=2518&#038;communiquesFileName=IFB%20-%20Performance%20Liquid%20Chromatography.pdf\" \r\n            class=\"download-pdf-btn\" \r\n            target=\"_blank\" \r\n            download>\r\n            <span class=\"pdf-icon\">\ud83d\udcc4<\/span>\r\n            DOWNLOAD PDF\r\n          <\/a><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>08 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Tenders<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=2640' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communiques<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4022","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4022"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4022\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4029,"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4022\/revisions\/4029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gis.govmu.org\/gis\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
