President James Michel has spoken in honesty when he said that the majority of the people responded to his call for togetherness.
The Leader of the Opposition did snub the President’s invitation to join in so that together, and with government they could come up with solutions for certain challenges that are best for Seychelles and its people. Wavel was obstinate and did not budge a bit. He acted like a domineering character and made the other members of SNP obeyed his orders not to unite with the rest of the Seychellois people. Regrettably for him, we saw Bernard Georges, Alain St. Ange and a few staunch activists refused to comply, and they have acted like true patriots of Seychelles. President Michel rightly said on SBC television that Wavel Ramkalawan had missed the opportunity to be part of the history transformation of Seychelles. We know however, that very soon he will have an opportunity to say it was his idea the President filched. Each time something good works out for Seychelles SNP claims ownership. President Michel is not working to be under the spotlight, whereas Wavel, has the fame bug. There are clearly downsides to fame, especially if you at times use ‘tantrums’ to get the attention. Like it has happened to Wavel and SNP, their supporters are turning against them, and even if they use the Sheikh’s house and PUC as issues to sidetrack their failure as a Party, they are failing big time. In a press release read on SBC, SNP said the Opposition is entirely in the national interest, and that it cooperates with government. Then how come they have never voted on a National Budget? Why do they walk out in the National Assembly? Jean-Francois Ferrari, has a wounded ego, and a bad reputation to salvage therefore it was considered normal and was anticipated that he would agree to be on the National Theme Committee. The High Level Forum, SNP’s press release says, has deliberately been structured to make it unacceptable for Mr. Ramkalawan to participate. Why didn’t he attend the first one and voice out any concerns he had regarding the meeting with the President? When you’re Wavel Ramkalawan, you cannot look into eyes of President Michel and be sincere. It is best you stay away and find reasons to plaster your dignity. Wavel wants to be accompanied by an SNP official to State House because the last time he was there, in tete a tete, and had tea, he was blasphemed by his comrades and called a traitor. He failed to attend the forum for fear of being eaten alive by his fellow SNP members. We suppose it is a question of trust. They simply cannot trust the guy when he is on his own. And he cannot trust himself
Now, he can boast that this is where it all began for him. In 1991, he used the pulpit for a hard-hitting political sermon at the Cathedral, which was aired on national radio. Those were the early days of Parti Seselwa. He was subsequently banned from Mass at St Paul’s if that was scheduled for broadcast on radio. Bishop French Chang-Him said after Wavel went public as a political figure that he would have to choose between his priestly duties and politics. For a while, Ramkalawan kept a low profile within the Anglican Church. When Bishop Santosh Marray replaced French Chang Him as head of the diocese, he told Ramkalawan that politics and religion don’t mix. A communiqué issued by the Church then stated that as Ramkalawan was in politics full-time, he had no ecclesiastical responsibility. He only officiated at Bel Ombre occasionally. This, he told supporters is an indication that he would soon be elected President. The church was put on hold. Then came the 2006 Presidential and 2007 Parliamentary Elections with resounding defeats. Since, nothing has gone well for Ramkalawan, politically. His rallies, marches and even indoor conventions have turned into nightmares, one pathetic turnout after another. Ramkalawan does not mind remaining Opposition Leader and enjoying the trappings of such office, such as high salary, gratuities, duty-free cars, paid staff etc. But he is worried sick about his ratings falling too low. And now, we have a desperate Ramkalawan back in the pulpit, proclaiming he is speaking in God’s name. Beware Seychellois. The man is desperate and using God and religion to further his own ends. Most major religions acknowledge God as our Creator. But as humans, we are responsible for our actions as God leaves us free to act, we are held accountable for kindness as well as our sins. All the world’s tyrants have unscrupulously proclaimed they were pre-ordained by God. This was the case for Adolph Hitler. His ‘heil Hitler’ was getting the German people to recognize him as their salvation. These are the wicked who invoke religion and God to further their unholy objectives. More recently, despots in Africa like Idi Amin also claimed they were sent by God. Bokassa of the central Africa Republic boasted that it was God and the people who had wished he be crowned emperor. The Ayatollah Khomeiny of Iran is another preceding Ramkalawan who was supposedly at God’s calling. We are sure however that Ramkalawan will fail in his endeavour of dragging religion into politics. Already, many church-goers are outraged by his behavior which implies disrespect and invites shame. Someone will soon shout for him to stop. He has shaken his fist once too often! Jean-Francois Ferrari in aksepte pour reprezant Parti SNP lo komite tenm nasyonal - ki sa lannen i ‘Ansanm nou pare pour lavenir’. Sa mesaz linite i osi reflekte tenm lannen pase, Koste Seselwa. Sa i en sinny ki Jean-Francois Ferrari pe respekte Prezidan Larepiblik e reponn a son lapel pour linite. Wavel pou byento war li tousel pe boykot. Prezidan Michel e Seselwa an zeneral i apresye ki Jean-Francois Ferrari in aksepte pour asiz lo komite tenm nasyonal pour sa lannen. Malgre in pran li enn an kot in donn lanmen boykot tou keksoz, 2010 i paret prometan pour Ferrari. Me sa ki pli enteresan avek SNP se ki zot fer krwar zot bon labous. Apre ki zot in ekout Prezidan koze lo SBC resaman zot in deswit reakte avek en ‘press release’. Sa i montre ki zot ekout Prezidan Michel. Zot ‘press release’ pe esey repar domaz ki zot in fer an 2009, savedir boykot tou keksoz ki’n kout zot ser, e zot in osi realize ki Prezidan Michel i onnet avek pep Seselwa. Prezidan Michel in felisit lamazorite Seselwa pour koste, ensi ki serten zot manm, e siporter kle, me in kondann lidership SNP ki pa’n enterese. Sesel pa bezwen lidership SNP pour progrese. Pep Seselwa pa bezwen SNP pour amelyor zot nivo lavi. Depi 1964 sete SPUP ki ozordi i Parti Lepep ki ti lite pour sanz lavi Seselwa pour en meyer kondisyon e Parti Lepep pe kontinny sa bon travay kot i pe amelyor keksoz akoz labaz i deza la. Depi zenn ziska vyeyar pe zouir dan sa pei se gras a prensip e travay Parti Lepep depi 1964. Tou sa ki lidership SNP pe zouir lo la se sikse sa Parti ki o pouvwar. Konmdir proverb, zot kontan son fri me zot deteste son pye. Seselwa ki kontinyen siport SNP ouver zot lizye e vwar SNP pour sa ki i ete. Sa bann dimoun pe lager pour zot pos. Zot rod benefis pour zotmenm. Zot pa enterese pour met lentere sa pep avan, akoz si zot ti enterese zot pa ti a donn sa lenpresyon ki zot pa anvi ganny okenn eleksyon Sesel. Zot rapel parol Wavel Ramkalawan, lanmas pwalon i tro so
