  • Rundheersing Bheenick: Escaping the Fate of the Dodo
    Rundheersing Bheenick: Escaping the fate of the Dodo Address by Mr Rundheersing Bheenick, Governor of the Bank of Mauritius, on the occasion of the Commemoration Dinner for the 40th Anniversary of the Bank of Mauritius, Bank of Mauritius, 24 August 2007. * * * A very warm welcome to you Mr President and Lady Jugnauth, to you Mr Prime Minister and Mrs Veena Ramgoolam, our Deputy Prime Ministers and their spouses, members of the Board and to all our guests this evening, who honour us with your presence, at this special Commemoration Dinner. And let me wish to all of my colleagues in the Bank of Mauritius here today, Happy Birthday! Happy 40th Birthday! and especially those benefiting from the pension fund: many…many…Happy Returns of the Day!! I have to admit to you now, that, faced with the formidable history of the achievements of my predecessors, many of whom we welcome here tonight, I am feeling rather modest. A most unusual state to be in as Governor! Some would say, I suspect, a most unusual feeling for this particular Governor, often taxed – in the past, and wrongly, as I would say – with a certain arrogance and an “effortless sense of superiority”! At the inception of the Bank in 1967, I had just completed my time at Oxford, broke, as is the fate of all students, and wondering what I would do with my life. Yet it was at this moment that Robin Harrison, the Warden of my college, Merton, Oxford introduced me to his old friend Professor James Meade1 who came down from that other place, Cambridge, for an excellent lunch.

  • Dalton Phillips Mauritius Step 2: Current Political Context
    Dalton Phillips Mauritius Step 2: Current Political Context Mauritius, an island that proved difficult to settle, and difficult to govern finally became an independent state on March 12, 1968. During that same year, Mauritius adopted a constitution and was considered a constitutional monarchy. The future of the newly independent island would lay solely on its ability to self-govern in the beginning years of independence. Under the new constitution that was adopted in 1968, the country was officially a constitutional monarchy with the British monarch Elizabeth II as the head of state. With much on the British monarch’s plate, many of the tasks pertaining to Mauritius were passed down to the Governor-General of Mauritius. Mauritius would remain a constitutional monarchy until 1991 when a constitutional amendment was passed. This amendment pushed for a republican form of government which consisted of a president as head of state. In 1992, this amendment went into effect and Prime Minister Sir Anerood Jugnauth declared Mauritius a republic (Bowman). This transition was smooth, and very popular among the people of Mauritius. Now they were not only independent, but also they were now an entirely self-governed island free of all monarch rule. Between 1968 and 1992, many different leaders held office as the Governor-General of Mauritius. However, at the time of this transition to a republic Sir Veerasamy Ringadoo was the Governor-General in charge, and his power would carry over to become the first president of Mauritius (“Mauritius: Constitution and Politics”). In the new republic of Mauritius the president was the head of state, however the presidency is a non-executive position.
