Citizen Engagement Platform Seychelles (Ceps) chief executive Steve Lalande has resigned.

News of his resignation was relayed to the Seychelles NATION by Jules Hoareau, chairperson of Ceps.

Mr Hoareau has said that as per the standard operating procedures, the vacant post will be advertised and in the interim he will, as chairperson of Ceps, oversee the running of the secretariat.

Mr Hoareau added that following the dissolution of Lungos (Liaison Unit of Non-governmental Organisations), all staff including the chief executive were offered six-month contracts with the new organisation – Ceps.

All contracts expire in May 2015, but unfortunately Mr Lalande has resigned from his post two months prior to the expiry date and no explanation for his departure was given.
