As he opened the meeting that was held at the Ministry’s ESPACE Building Offices in Victoria, Minister St.Ange said that it was important for the Senior Management to meet at least once a month to ensure that a well informed team existed. "We are meeting staff, we are visiting the entities that make up the Ministry but it is also as important for us to sit together to update ourselves on what was happening in the different branches of our Ministry. This is the only way we can all defend each other and remain united as a Team" said Minister St.Ange.
Different topics were raised and discussed and these included the setting up of committee for preparotory works for the separation of responsibility of "Operation and Commercial" at the Airport and Port. The SMSA was also discussed with the aim of preparing necessary documents for completing the process to make it an autonomous Authority. Each Head of Department gave a brief of what was being done in their respective departments and tabled what they saw as challenges. The proposed budget for 2017 was also discussed.
Present at the meeting was the whole Senior Management Team of the Ministry: – Anne Lafortune, PS for Tourism, Garry Albert, PS for Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine, Sherin Francis, CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board, Andre Ciseau, CEO of the Seychelles Ports Authority, Gilbert Faure, CEO of the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority, Captain Joachim Valmont, CEO of the SMSA and Roy Kinnear of Air Seychelles.
