Fausse lettre anonyme contre Ameenah Gurib-Fakim : ‘il me semble que Ken Arian va prendre des actions légales, je le ferai aussi si des allégations sont faites contre moi dans cette affaire', avance Pravind Jugnauth
Affaire Platinum Card : un rapport d'un graphologue réunionnais conclut que l'écriture de Ken Arian figure sur la lettre anonyme contre Ameenah Gurib-Fakim ! Une lettre anonyme faisant de graves allégations contre Ameenah Gurib-Fakim dans le sillage de l'affaire Sobrinho, avait atterri au bureau du Premier ministre. Une lettre brandie par le Pravind Jugnauth lui-même en conférence de presse quelques heures après la démission d'Ameenah Gurib Fakim comme présidente de la République. Pravind Jugnauth avait soutenu au Parlement que cette lettre avait été remise à l'ICAC pour les besoins de l'enquête et que Xavier-Luc Duval avait été mis en copie. Sauf qu'en quatre ans, l'ICAC n'a jamais convoqué Ameenah Gurib-Fakim pour la mettre en présence de la lettre et des allégations y figurant et que le leader de l'opposition Xavier-Luc Duval a affirmé qu'il n'a jamais reçu une copie de cette lettre. Et voilà que le rapport d'un graphologue réunionnais vient donner une toute autre ampleur à cette affaire. Le rapport à la page 21, conclut après des analyses approfondies que l'écriture figurant sur la lettre anonyme pour effectuer des corrections manuscrites est celle de l'ex senior adviser de Pravind Jugnauth, Ken Arian ! L'écriture figurant sur la lettre anonyme a fait l'objet de comparaison avec un autre document officiel sur lequel apparait l'écriture de Ken Arien. Et la conclusion de l'expert-graphologue réunionnais, Patrice Balleti est sans appel. Les écritures figurant sur la lettre anonyme et le document officiel en question, sont celles de la même personne, soit Ken Arian ! C'est une affaire qui a été évoquée à plus d'une reprise sur Top FM. Notamment en juillet 2020 avec Ameenah Gurib-Fakim.

Important To Me is a podcast about values-based ethical leadership. Host David Benger interviews one world leader every episode on the "behind the curtain" questions of leading on the global stage - What do they read? How do they cope with stress?

This podcast gives any student of leadership unique access to the inner lives of some of our planet's most thoughtful and reflective world class leaders. For our second episode, we are joined by Ameenah Gurib-Fakim. President Gurib-Fakim enjoyed a career as a biodiversity scientist, before her election as President of the Republic of Mauritius.

Today’s broadcast of Womanity-Women in Unity closes out 2018, and we use this episode to celebrate African female leadership with special compilations that include extracts from conversations with two former African female presidents. Dr. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim who was the sixth president and the first female president of the Republic of Mauritius and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the former President of Liberia who served as the country’s 24th president and first elected female head of state. They share some of their accomplishments in office and aspirations for the future of women leadership in Africa. Tune in for more.
This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Dr Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, who was the 6th President and the First Female President of the Republic of Mauritius. She takes us through her three lives of scientist, entrepreneur and president. We talk about some of the attributes she introduced into her term of office, which fuelled her drive to empower youth to embrace science and technology tools and become job creators not job seekers. We differentiate between women in leadership and women in power, with the latter being the catalyst to drive effective change to enable women on the continent. The number of women in power continues to erode, which means the base line is constantly reset and critical mass cannot be attained to drive meaningful change. Women have a responsibility to be role models and help one another for the betterment of womenkind. Tune in for more…
