Mauritius is currently grappling with political turmoil following a financial scandal implicating former minister Renganaden Padayachy for allegedly defrauding the Mauritius Investment Corporation. The ex-central bank head, Harvesh Seegolam, is also under scrutiny in connection with the case. The allegations have sparked controversy, with the Militant Socialist Movement alleging political vendetta. The scandal comes at a time when two powerful political dynasties have long been at the helm of Mauritian politics. Adding to the tension is the recent visit of French President Emmanuel Macron. The fallout from these accusations could potentially have far-reaching implications for Mauritius’s economy.
