The National Assembly of Seychelles has approved an 11th amendment to the Constitution on Wednesday afternoon, which seeks to enhance and clarify various provisions related to the election and tenure of the President and the National Assembly. The Bill was presented to the National Assembly on Tuesday by Vice President Ahmed Afif, and after two days of debate, 24 members of the Linyon Demokratik Seselwa (LDS) ruling party voted for the amendment. All members of the United Seychelles (US), the main opposition party, voted against it. The Bill proposed a fixed date for the Presidential election, ensuring it is held, five weeks prior to the expiration of the President's term. The amendment aims to provide sufficient time for a possible second round of elections and to facilitate a smooth transition of power. It also proposed that elections for the National Assembly be held on the same day as the Presidential election and the change aims to streamline the electoral process and ensure consistency in the timing of elections. In the amendment, Article 52A, which allows the President to resign during his or her term and seek a fresh mandate from the electorate, is repealed and it aligns with the commitment to fixed-term elections and prevents the President from calling for an early election. The Bill also provided clear and detailed procedures for addressing a vacancy in the office of the President, whether due to resignation, removal, death, or incapacity. It ensures that the Vice-President assumes the role of President in specific circumstances and clarifies the limitations of their powers during this interim period. As for the protection of the President in legal proceedings, the Bill proposed to amend Article 59 to repeal the three-year limitation period for bringing proceedings against a former President. The amendment also clarified the discharge of presidential functions during temporary absences of both the President and Vice-President, by designating the Principal Minister to perform these duties with specific limitations on their powers. Currently, this is performed by the Designated Minister. In his response to the debates, Afif said this amendment is an important one, which will modernise the Constitution of Seychelles. «It will remove any advantages that a politician has in fixing a date for the elections. It removes the protection of a President so that anyone can bring a case against the President when he leaves office,» said the Vice President. He added that «it will also make our election more economical, since the presidential and national assembly elections will take place at the same time, saving the country 10 million of rupees ($750,000).» This is the second amendment made to the Constitution of Seychelles in two years. In June 2022, the National Assembly voted for an amendment to the Constitution that gave the Seychelles Defence Forces (SDF) the right to enforce domestic law in relation to public security, environmental protection and maritime security. Effectively, the amendment gave a fifth function to the military and enables it to work alongside the Seychelles Police outside of states of emergency.

Absa Bank Seychelles has launched a new digital payment solution service for merchants called the Mobi-Tap app, which will enable them to process contactless card transactions with a smartphone without needing a Point of Sale (POS) machine. In a press conference on Tuesday, the managing director for Absa Bank Seychelles, Mazim Mahmood, said this service would be especially beneficial for small business owners. «Normal people who have normal small businesses can now go digital. You could be a vendor at the beach who's selling bikinis, sarongs and hats you can now accept payment on credit cards. A lot of these payments were not coming through because the smaller vendors were not able to pick up a POS machine which costs around $400 to $500, it was expensive. Now with this solution, we are able to tap into that market,» he said. Mahmood added that Absa Bank has been working on solutions to make banking efficient and digital. There is a wallet service they launched earlier this year as well as payment through QR codes. The retail director, Murugan Pillay, said that they did several months of testing before the official launch and they found that the merchants who were using it have had positive reactions. Pillay confirmed that to register for this service, merchants must be business customers of Absa Bank Seychelles and possess a merchant ID and account with the bank. He clarified that this is an extra layer of security to ensure that all users of this service are legitimate. «We listened to our customers. They told us that POS machines are inconvenient to travel with, especially during events,» he added. Pillay explained that as of now the service is only available on Android phones and for local currency, however, there will be a second phase in the next couple of months to add foreign currency as well. He added that in order to encourage merchants to join this digital service, which he described as a fully green solution, Absa Bank has reduced the processing fee for the transactions from 3 per cent to 2 per cent. This is an introductory offer and that all merchants usually pay for each transaction through a POS. Seychelles joins five other African markets, Botswana, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, where Absa has introduced this pioneering technology. During the event, Absa Bank presented a cheque for SCR 200,000 ($15,000) to the second winner of their card usage campaign, which was awarded each month from July 1 to 30 September. To qualify, customers needed to use their Absa Debit or Credit Card 10 times or more within the month, which then automatically entered them into the monthly draw. Olivia Johnson, the lucky winner this time, said, «I was so surprised when I received the call that I had one. I usually just use my card whenever I need to pay for services or I use internet banking. This is a shock for me, I could barely believe it.»
