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, but recently in 2008 it has been increased to eight. As Mauritius is divided into twenty constituencies, each PPS who reports directly to the Prime Minister looks after their given responsible 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.
