Several faithful of the MSM, present at the inauguration of the SAJ Bridge last Sunday, raised their eyebrows at the way Deputy Prime Minister Steven Obeegadoo and his bodyguards maneuvered through the crowd to position themselves next to Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth. It seems that the No. 2 of the government was late to the scene and his VIPSU had no choice but to clear a path for Steven Obeegadoo to be seated in the front rows. In doing so, they had to ask members of the public to let them pass.
Regular attendees of the PM’s functions were clearly annoyed by this behavior, especially since, according to them, it is not the first time that the government’s No. 2 has been late to official functions. “Come late, act as if you’re the boss of those who arrived before you,” implies a fervent Sun Trust supporter.
This incident has sparked criticism and raised questions about protocol and respect for others at official events. Some are questioning the Deputy Prime Minister’s professionalism and punctuality, while others are highlighting the need for better coordination and adherence to protocol within the government’s ranks.
The incident has also drawn attention to the internal dynamics within the ruling party and the government, with some seeing it as a reflection of broader issues within the ruling coalition. There are concerns about power struggles, lack of coordination, and a lack of respect for established protocols and hierarchies.
Overall, this incident at the inauguration of the SAJ Bridge has not only raised eyebrows but also highlighted deeper issues within the government and the ruling party. It remains to be seen how the authorities will address these concerns and ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future.
