3, Prior before holding the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional

CH4, The Respondent No.1 is a body corporate established under an act of the
National Assembly and it is headed by Mr. Kaushik Goburdhun, who is closely
related to the Respondent No.3.
The Respondent No.2 is in charge of all investigations initiated by the
Respondent No.1.
6. The Respondent No.3 is presently the Honourable Minister of Financial
Services, Good Governance and institutional Reforms.
1am a person of utmost integrity and probity.
8, lamasseasoned politician.
9. Ever since September 2015, | have reasons to believe that the Respondent
No.3, who is a Minister ‘ tres en vue et tres en verve’ of the present
government has initiated a smear campaign to tarnish and to sully my
reputation as a citizen of Mauritius, a Member of Parliament, as the then
Minister of Finance and Economic Development and at present as the
Minister of Foreign Affairs Regional integration and international Trade.
10. The Respondent No.3 has been on a spree to malign my reputation by, inter
alia, leaking to the press and to the public at large the following false and
malicious information , viz -
i) that | have used my position as the then Minister of Finance to obtain
a loan of EUROS1.1Million from the State of Bank of Mauritius and
that the said loan was approved without following the procedure;
{il) that Ihave been paid kickbacks to the tune of Rs.45Million in the joint
venture project of YIHAI and State Investment Corporation Limited for
Domaine Les Pailles;
11. The Respondent No.3 is a Honourable Minister, who has been managing his
Ministry like the KGB with his arms spread everywhere in most of the
ministries, has aspired to become the next Minister of Finance by ousting me
by any means from the present government,
12. The Respondent No.3 is conniving {’ comploter’) to oust me and finish me as a
cian and a Minister13. | aver that the Respondent No.3 is bent and minded to evict me from the
present government in order to have a comprehensive control over fappareil
de I'etat’,
14,
45.
The campaign of the Respondent No.3 has gained momentum to such an
extent that the Respondent No.1 has initiated an enquiry into my loan of
EUROSI.1Million and into the deal of the joint venture of State Investment
Corporation Limited and VIHA
In so far as the loan of EURO1.1Millions is concerned, in order to show the
bad! faith of the Respondent No.3 to evict me from the Government , | hereby
bring the following the facts, things and matters =~

| made a request for a loan EUROS1.1Million in the month of July
2015;
The said request for a loan was made to the State Bank of Mauritius
Ltd;
The said loan was finally approved on 11.9.2015 after the State Bank
of Mauritius Ltd was satisfied that | fulfilled all the conditions set by
the said Bank;
For ease of reference , | hereby annex a copy of the letter dated
11.9.2015 wherein my loan of EUROS1.1Million was approved and
marked VL;
Itis clear from the said letter that the loan was for EUROS 1.1 Million,
payable over a period of 2 years with interests at the rate of 1.5 per
annum;
The said loan was secured by a fixed charge over my matrimonial
property at Beat Bassin; a copy of the said fixed charge is annexed
and marked VL2;
The interests are payable on a yearly basis;
The capital to be refunded in one Jump sum upon maturity of the
loan;
On 19:01.2016, the said loan, at my request was reduced from
EUROS1.LMillion to EUROS400,000.- under the same conditions; a
copy of my letter dated 19.01.2016 to reduce is annexed and
marked VL3;
‘On 20.01.2016, the sum of EUROS 700,000.- was debited from my
account and paid to the State Bank of Mauritius Ltd; a copy of my
statement of account showing the reduction of loan is annexed and
marked VU
‘The said loan was brought down at my request to EUROS400,000.- to
reduce my exposure;
have not benefitted from any favour as the rate of interests that | am
paying;
In the month of December 2015, the Respondent No.3 informed the
Honourable Prime Minister that | had contracted @ loan with
providing a security;
To show my good faith, | did not object to the State Bank of Mauritius
Ltd sharing all relevant information to the Honourable Prime Ministerabout the loan, who after having examined and inspected the said
information, was satisfied that the loan was in order
16. It is clear from the above, that | haye not used and could use my position as
the then Honourable Minister of Finance to contract a loan of
EUROS400,000.- from the State Bank of Mauritius Ltd, the moreso that in the
past | had already contracted a loan in United States of America Dollars from
the State Bank of Mauritius Ltd that | had already f
17,
itis therefore undoubtedly clear that the Respondent No.3 has provoked and
manipulated the said campaign to exit me from the present government and
by referring the matter to the Respondent No.1 so that | be humiliated,
interrogated, arrested and be forced to resign from the present government.
18. Since | am a man of integrity and probity, | am ready and willing to face an
enquiry provided such enquiry is without any political interference from the
Respondent No.3 and follows the conditions set out by law.
19. In So far as the alleged kick back in the sum of Rs.45Million nthat | had
allegedly received from the joint venture project State Investments
Corporation Limited and LIHAl, this is pure invention on the part of the
Respondent No.3 inasmuch as | invite the Respondent No.3 to came up with
all documents in support of the alleged information that | had received kick
back from the said joint venture.
20. lam confident that there is no document in support of any kick back allegedly
received by me
21, It is evidently clear that the Respondent No.3 Is manipulating information to
kill me politically so that he could ‘ assouvir ses besoins personnels sur
Vappareil de etat’. The Respondent No.3 sees in me ‘ un ennemi en politique
qujil faut a tout prix abattre’
22. The Respondent No.3 has prompted the Respondent No.1 to initiate the said
enquiry so that | interrogated and arrested
>23, Laver and | verily believe that :-
(i) There is no ground for the Respondent No.1 to initiate an enquiry as
mentioned above;
(i) | fear and apprehend that the said enquiry is being initiated and
provoked by the Respondent No.3;
(ili) Section 46 of the Prevention of Corruption Act has not and is not
being followed and complied with to the extent that the Respondent
No.2 was not involved in any preliminary investigation;
(iv) By not following the procedure , the Respondent No.1 is depriving me
of my right of a fair and equitable enquiry;
(v) The Respondent No.1 is bound , as per the law, to strictly comply with
the law , to look into the alleged complaints made against me as per
Section 46 of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
24,
On Saturday the 2 day of April 2016 at around 16.00 hours | received from
the Respondent No.1 a letter requesting me to attend the office of the
Respondent No.1 for an enquiry. It is noteworthy to point out that the said
letter covening me to the Respondent No.1 found its way in the press on
Sunday 3.4.2016. It is therefore clear that the Respondents deliberately
managing the public opinion with a view to harm my reputation and to
deprive me of a fair hearing. A copy of the letter of the Respondent No.1 is
annexed and marked VL5. Copies of _press cuttings showing that the public
is made aware on Sunday 3.4.2016 that | am being convened to the office of
the Respondent No.1 today are annexed and marked VL6_and VI6(i)
25. It is clear that the Respondents Nos. 1 and 2, with the help of the Respondent
No.3, have embarked ina spree of tarnishing my raputation by all means.
26. | aver that the Respondents Nos. 1 and 2 are not affording me a fair and
equitable chance/opportunity in that all.the facts, things and matters relating
to the present enquiry in that being leaked to the press so that the
Respondents Nos. 1 and 2 are put before a’ fait accompli’.
27. The present enquiry is being initiated at the behest of the Respondent No.3
