Mrs Eline Moses sworn in as seventh TRNUC commissioner |09 April 2020

Well-known civil society advocate Eline Moses is the seventh member of the Truth, Reconciliation and National Unity Commission (TRNUC), after she was sworn in during a brief ceremony held at the State House on Thursday morning.

Mrs Moses, who is filling the vacancy created by the resignation of one of the two original non-Seychellois commissioners, Pierre Rosario Domingue in October 2019, took her oath before President Danny Faure as required by the Truth, Reconciliation and National Unity Commission Act 2018, in the presence of the chairperson of the TRNUC commission Gabrielle McIntyre and Secretary of State for Cabinet Affairs Mohamed Afif.

Her appointment was recommended to President Faure by the Constitutional Appointments Authority (CAA). It must be noted that at the time the Act was drafted in 2018 the law required that there are five Seychellois commissioners and two non-Seychellois commissioners but was subsequently amended by the National Assembly in December 2019, to allow for the appointment of a Seychellois to the vacant post.
