About this statute

This bill proposes changes to the Seychelles Constitution, including amendments about presidential term limits, ministerial appointments, electoral areas, and related constitutional clarifications. This Bill amends multiple constitutional provisions, including rules on judges, the Public Service Appeal Board, constitutional appointments, the Ombudsman, and anti-corruption bodies, and allows commencement by presidential notice. This part amends several constitutional articles, including rules on citizenship, presidential succession, and payments for certain office holders. The Minister must have a motion debated in the National Assembly within 14 days after notice if the Minister has already ceased to hold office. The provision also protects the Attorney General’s salary, allowance, pension, or gratuity from being reduced to that person’s disadvantage and says those sums are charged on the Consolidated Fund. This part amends several constitutional articles about parliamentary offices, judges, and related appointment or qualification wording.
