Le Premier Ministre va présenter en première lecture son projet de loi qui va controler le fianacement des partis politiques lors des prochaines séances du Parlement.
The object of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill is to amend the Constitution to provide additional powers and functions to the Electoral Supervisory Commission and the Electoral Commissioner in matters relating to political financing.
The object of the Political Financing Bill is to make provisions for accountability and transparency with regard to political financing with a view to promoting a level playing field, ensuring fair competition and preventing improper influence and corruption. No political donation shall be made to a non-registered political party or to any person, other than to a registered political party, to a member of the National Assembly and to a person nominated to stand as a candidate at National Assembly elections. The Representation of the People Act would be amended:
(a) to impose a limit on the election expenses of a political party or party alliance at a National Assembly election and that party or party alliance will henceforth have a legal obligation to submit a return of such election expenses;
(b) for an increase in election expenses that a candidate may incur at a National Assembly election, Rodrigues Regional Assembly election or local government election; and
(c) for the regulation of temporary political headquarters and campaign quarters commonly known as “baz” during a National Assembly election, Rodrigues Regional Assembly election or local government election.
