Closing ceremony Workhop on “Equal Opportunities”
I congratulate the University of
Technology, Employees’ Union for organizing this important workshop on the Employment Impact of the advent of the Equal
Opportunities Act in Mauritius. The enactment of this legislation shows the
seriousness of this Government in eliminating all forms of discrimination and
giving equal chances to every citizen. The credit goes to the bold leadership
and far sighted vision of the Prime Minister, Dr. Navin Ramgoolam. We should
indeed be proud as Mauritians that such legislation exists in our law books and
that the institutional structure has been set up without any delay to implement
the legislation. This legislation is dedicated to the citizens of Mauritius, to
the present and future generations. Congratulation to the
UTM Employees’ Union for the laudable initiative to organize this workshop for
the benefit of its members and all staff of the University !
