L. Duval) (by Private Notice) asked the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Consumer Protection whether, in regard to the supply of petroleum products through Emergency Procurement for an amount of some Rs14 billion, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the State Trading Corporation, information as to the – (a) names of the respective suppliers for Clean Petroleum Products and Dirty Petroleum Products, respectively; (b) period covered by the contracts; (c) relative prices, premium and freight rates for Clean Petroleum Products and Dirty Petroleum Products, respectively, and (d) basis on which negotiations were held with the lowest bidders. Mr Gungah: Madam Speaker, the contract for the supply of Petroleum Products between the State Trading Corporation (STC) and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) expired on 31 July 2019. In this respect, on 25 March 2019, the STC launched a tender for the supply of 915,000 Metric Tons of Clean Petroleum Products (CPP) and 325,000 Metric Tons of Dirty Petroleum Products (DPP) for the period 01 August 2019 to 31 July 2020, on both FOB (Free on Board) and DAP (Delivery at Place) basis. Eleven (11) bidders submitted their offers, out of which nine (9) were for Clean Petroleum Products (CPP) and eight (8) were for Dirty Petroleum Products (DPP). Following the evaluation exercise, the most competitive substantially responsive bids were from Vitol Bahrain E.C. for Clean Petroleum Products and PetroChina International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd for Dirty Petroleum Products. In parallel, on 03 May 2019, the STC also launched tenders for Contract of Affreightment (COA) for the transport of petroleum products should tender for the supply of the products be allocated on a FOB basis. On 22 May 2019, the Board of the STC approved the award for supply of Clean Petroleum Products to Vitol Bahrain E.C. and to PetroChina International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd for Dirty Petroleum Products. 9 However, on 31 May 2019, the Supreme Court, in the case of STC v Betamax Ltd, set aside the arbitration award of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre and provided guidance on the application of the Public Procurement Act (PPA). In the wake of the judgement of the Supreme Court, the STC sought the advice of the State Law Office on the procurement proceedings to be followed by the STC. The SLO advised that the STC has to follow the provisions of the PPA. On 07 June 2019, STC had a meeting with the Central Procurement Board (CPB) to discuss the procedures to be followed under the PPA. A timeline for launching of the tender for supply of petroleum products was defined as per the provisions of the PPA and the process worked out to last over a period of about 6 months. Considering that the contract for procurement of Petroleum Products with MRPL would expire on 31 July 2019, and to avoid any shortage of Petroleum Products, the Board of the STC on 10 June 2019, approved that - a) STC annuls the tender exercises for the supply of clean and dirty petroleum products launched on 25 March 2019 and for Contract of Affreightment for these products launched on 03 May 2019; b) STC carries out an Emergency Procurement for the period 01 August 2019 to 31 January 2020 in accordance with the section 21(3)(b) of the PPA, that is, the Public Procurement Act, which stipulates – “life or the quality of life or environment may be seriously compromised”; c) negotiations be carried out with the lowest substantially responsive bidders in the tender exercise launched on 25 March 2019 which are Vitol Bahrain E.C for Clean Petroleum Products and PetroChina International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd for Dirty Petroleum Products, and d) the Panel for the negotiations be composed of representatives from the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Consumer Protection, the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, the Central Procurement Board and the State Trading Corporation. 10 On 17 June 2019, STC attended a meeting at the Central Procurement Board (CPB) to discuss on the process for the Emergency Procurement exercise. The CPB informed that in line with the Provisions of the PPA, they cannot participate in any negotiation exercises. This would tantamount to being judge and party. However, in line with Circular 15 of 2008 issued by PPO, the CPB agreed to assist STC and guide them on the negotiation process. The CPB further requested the STC to prepare a Strategy Paper for the negotiations and to submit same for clearance. Given that MRPL has been the supplier of the STC since 2006, it was proposed that MRPL also be invited to participate in the negotiation process; the CPB had no objection to the proposal as this would enhance competition. Following discussions with the CPB, the Strategy Paper was finalised and approved by the CPB on 21 June 2019. Madam Speaker, with regard to part (a) of the question, I am informed by the STC that the negotiating panel held meetings with Vitol Bahrain E.C. and MRPL for Clean Petroleum Products and with PetroChina International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd and MRPL for Dirty Petroleum Products at the seat of the STC on 25 and 26 June 2019. The negotiation panel recommended that the contract for the supply of Clean Petroleum Products for the 6 months’ period be awarded to Vitol Bahrain E.C. and that the contract for Dirty Petroleum Products be awarded to PetroChina International (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. Madam Speaker, as regards part (b), the contracts

    INTERVIEW] Ahmar Mahboob: “The prestige of Creole has to be raised.” > pp. 38-39 Insert N° 3 • Friday 25 February 2011 Editorial ] by Touria PRAYAG From ideology to personality ny entity which lasts for 75 years deserves our full res- pect. When a political party lasts that long and is in STRAIGHT TALK ] power, there is a lot to celebrate. Congratulations then Ato the Labour Party on an anniversary celebrated in a grand style but without too much wallowing in nostalgia or per- The Labour Party’s Diamond Jubilee sonality cult. The tribute paid to the founding fathers of the party > pp. 44 - 45 was justifi ed and, on the whole, measured. It is undeniable that the party has left an indelible footprint in every aspect of the history of this country and it still is a major force to be reckoned with in today’s Mauritius. But a celebration is not ISKON vs McDonald’s restricted to reminiscing about the past. It is also about refl ecting on the present and looking into the future. To claim that the present La- bour Party has not deviated from its original ideology is not entirely supported by facts. The ideology on which the party was founded has defi nitely moved towards more economic pragmatism, involving The burger of discord a range of measures verging, some might say, on neo-liberalism. Free market policies such as the removal of trade barriers, barriers to the infl ow and outfl ow of capital, the Stimulus Package and the Economic Restructuring and Competitiveness Programme, the fl at corporate tax rate to mention only a few cannot, by any yard stick, be qualifi ed as socialist in nature.

  • Vernacular Languages in an English-Dominant Education System: Mauritian Creole, Bhojpuri and the Politics of Ethnicity in Multilingual Mauritius
    5 Vernacular languages in an English-dominant education system: Mauritian Creole, Bhojpuri and the politics of ethnicity in multilingual Mauritius Tejshree Auckle Introduction UNESCO’s 2009 world report on cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue makes a strong case for the implementation of mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MTB MLE) programmes which allow for the co-existence of both local vernacular languages and other socially prestigious tongues such as English (UNESCO 2009). The success of these MTB MLE programmes hinges, as it suggests, quite significantly, upon deliberate governmental intervention at the levels of language policy and planning. For instance, though the report bemoans the efforts of most multilingual nations which have set up their own MTB MLE programmes as being, at best, half- hearted, it also celebrates the tentative steps taken by countries such as Cambodia and Zambia which have formally introduced a few minority languages as media of instruction at lower primary level (UNESCO 2009). Such forms of overt language planning are believed to be instrumental to the maintenance or even, possibly, the revitalisation of minority and/or endangered languages (Schiffman 1995). However, as Shohamy (2006) highlights, many communities rely on covert language policies which make no explicit reference to language in any legal or administrative document. Instead, they draw quasi- exclusively from inferences derived from other forms of constitutional provisos. This dichotomy between covert and overt language policy and planning will be at the heart of this chapter as it seeks to explore the challenges faced by post-colonial Mauritius in implementing its own MTB MLE programme through the introduction of the vernacular languages of Mauritian Creole (MC) and Mauritian Bhojpuri (MB) as optional subjects at primary level.

    ISSUES]Review : What our food says about us > pp. 38-39 Insert N° 3• Friday 1st APRIL 2011 INTERVIEW] Yousouf JHUGROO Editorial ] “Sik Yuen and Soodhun by Touria PRAYAG are not in the right places” A topsy-turvy world e were not sitting on the edge of our chairs in anticipation > pp. 40- 41 of any revolutionary measures to be announced by the minister of Education at his press conference last Satur- W day. And we did not uncork any champagne when we came out. Yes, there has been a slight but steady improvement in the CPE pass rate since 2004, though thinking that is enough to warrant self-congratulation is rather misplaced in a country which still throws over 30% of its children out of the system. But more than the system it- self, it is the cosmetic measures introduced which warrant our attention. Protest Tactics in Mauritius Of course, like his predecessors, Vasant Bunwaree did not dare go anywhere near the sacred cow of the “catchment area” which leaves our children with a deep sense of injustice from a very early age. Oh no, perish the thought. Let the children who live near star schools walk miles in rain and sun to get to the schools they have been allocated. The Hunger And let the children of those who are well-connected always stand in the front of the queue. He has not attempted to reduce class sizes to enable the teachers to give more attention to the pupils. That would not do. Nine-year schooling is forever at the experimental stage.
