Via Email. Why No Seychellois Chief Justice?
Dear Rising Tide - In Seychelles we have 3 branches of government. The executive, headed by a president who is currently Hon. James Michel (SPPF). The legislative, headed by a speaker who is currently Hon. Patrick Herminie (SPPF). The judiciary, headed by a chief justice, and this is where the similarities end! Why is it that this 'independent' branch has never had a sitting chief justice who is a Seychellois? At least under this SPPF led government. Rather the post has been offered to foreigners, who later after proving their worth, became naturalised citizens. This is for sure a most important part of our system of governance. Why is it then that it is not shown equal respect by this government?
