| Historical Background of Parliamentary Private Secretaries In September 1987, in the speech from the throne in Parliament, the policy to appoint Parliamentary Private Secretaries was announced. Consequently, ten members of the Legislative Assembly were appointed in January 1988 and the ten offices of the Parliamentary Private Secretaries (PPSs) were created. However, since July 2005 the number of Parliamentary Private Secretaries has been reduced to five. As Mauritius is divided into twenty constituencies, each PPS who reports directly to the Prime Minister looks after four constituencies and has the following main duties: - Inform, educate and sensitize the members of the public regarding the implementation of government’s
policies and programs; - Ensure the link between the government and the public. | Name | Responsible for Constituency No. | Telephone No | Hon. M. Moutia
