Overval op goudkamp te Tapanahony: twee beveiligers gewond

Bij een gewapende overval op een goudkamp in Tapanahony zijn vandaag twee beveiligingsmedewerkers gewond geraakt. Ze werden na het incident met een helikopter geëvacueerd naar Zorg en Hoop en vervolge...

The absence of proposals made about the Casinos Act from the amendments caused opposition and coalition assembly members a lot of trouble. A working document shared with parliament by Justice & Police Minister Kenneth Amoksi has to be withdrawn. The government was unable to defend its position because of the heated discussions. Following a recess, the assembly’s chairman, Marinus Bee, stated that more internal work must be done to bring the parties together. The treatment will continue as long as the draft laws for casinos, overseeing and controlling games of chance, and the lottery act are being worked on.

Members of the assembly claimed that the National Assembly is in accord regarding the adjustments that need to be implemented. The government thinks that a state edict can further manage the situation. Several Assembly members have expressed disapproval of this. They contend that laws, not state decrees, should govern affairs. According to the National Assembly, there needs to be strict regulation and oversight. Additionally, it must be possible to trace the flow of money from games of chance.

The minister was informed by NDP member Melvin Bouva that the government’s promise to regulate all of the submitted plans through a state decree will never be adopted. “This will not be tolerated by us. Government is a shame! We will insist that comments made concerning the standards used by betting companies be governed by legislation,” he debated. The same is true with casino requirements. The National Assembly must be informed of the policy’s ordering. Ronny Asabina, the leader of the BEP party, also inquired about the administration’s position on gaming. He requests to see the policy manual. The sector cannot be held completely responsible. Policies need to be created.

Kishan Ramsukul (VHP) noted that specific measures for regulating the industry have been proposed. He wants the laws to specifically include the suggestions that have been offered. How will suppliers of internet gambling be inspected? Harriet Ramdien, one of the group members, claimed she had not yet felt reassured. She is interested in learning what will be done to stop the “gambling shops.” There are now 867 retail stores in Suribet. This amount is just too high. Retail stores will be closed as a result of action. According to Bouva, the government is demeaning the parliament. The Assembly won’t stop talking.

The Assembly Speaker’s decision was applauded by the leader of the NDP faction, Rabin Parmessar, when Bee stated that more work on the law was required and the hearing was postponed. Under duress, Parliament was heard. Laws may be strengthened in this manner. Parmessar hoped that this would be how upcoming laws would be handled, saying, “This is how we should work together.”
