Pravind Jugnauth Has Lost Touch with Reality: The Outrage of Yogida Sawmynaden’s Return to Politics Amidst the Unresolved Kistnen Murder
In what can only be described as a moral betrayal of the highest order, Yogida Sawmynaden, a figure clouded by scandal and suspicion, is once again stepping into the political spotlight. The news that he could even be considered for the role of campaign manager is an affront to justice and a national outrage. This is not just a political misstep; it is a dangerous disregard for morality in Mauritius. The unresolved murder of Soopramanien Kistnen casts a long shadow over Sawmynaden’s political ambitions, and his re-entry into politics while this case remains unsolved is a grotesque symbol of how far our nation has fallen under the leadership of Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth.
The fact that Pravind Jugnauth, once seen as a capable leader, would allow such a morally compromised individual like Sawmynaden to re-emerge in the political sphere is a clear sign that he has lost touch with reality. The Prime Minister’s decision to stand by a man so deeply implicated in controversy, and whose proximity to the Kistnen case raises red flags, speaks to a dangerous erosion of democratic values in Mauritius. This is not merely a lapse in judgment; it is an alarming indication that Jugnauth no longer prioritizes justice or the well-being of the Mauritian people.
The Kistnen Murder: A Haunting Symbol of Injustice
The brutal murder of Soopramanien Kistnen in October 2020 was not just an isolated tragedy—it was a wake-up call for Mauritius. Kistnen, a former MSM agent, was found burned in a sugarcane field, and the subsequent investigation into his death was riddled with incompetence and suspicious irregularities. What initially began as a laughable claim of suicide quickly unraveled into a deeply sinister affair, as the judicial inquiry led by Magistrate Vidya Mungroo-Jugurnauth revealed shocking failures by the authorities. Missing Safe City camera footage, contradictory autopsy reports, and glaring gaps in police work point to far more than just a botched investigation.
At the heart of this tragedy lies the connection between Kistnen and the MSM campaign in Constituency No. 8, where Prime Minister Jugnauth and two of his closest allies were elected. Kistnen’s role in that campaign, combined with the shady circumstances surrounding his death, has left many wondering whether his murder was politically motivated. And yet, despite all of these deeply troubling questions, the investigation into his murder has stalled, and justice for Kistnen remains out of reach.
Yogida Sawmynaden’s Dark Connection
Yogida Sawmynaden, former Minister of Commerce, was at the center of this political maelstrom. His actions during the campaign, his closeness to Kistnen, and his questionable involvement in the events leading up to Kistnen’s death have made him a figure of suspicion. That he could now be considered for a position as a campaign manager, while the murder remains unsolved, is an insult to the Mauritian people and a gross miscarriage of justice.
It is inconceivable that Sawmynaden has not been held accountable, or at the very least been morally disqualified from public office. His connection to Kistnen’s case—whether direct or indirect—demands thorough investigation, not political rehabilitation. Until the truth of Kistnen’s murder is brought to light and those responsible are held accountable, there is no place for someone like Sawmynaden in Mauritian politics. His return represents a slap in the face to the Kistnen family and to every citizen who believes in the principles of justice and accountability.
Pravind Jugnauth: A Leader Who Has Lost His Way
Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth’s decision to allow Sawmynaden back into the political fold is not just a miscalculation—it is a moral failure. How can Jugnauth, a leader tasked with upholding the values of justice and democracy, stand by someone so tainted by controversy? By endorsing Sawmynaden’s political return, Jugnauth is sending a clear message: that political loyalty outweighs morality, that power is more important than accountability, and that justice can be ignored if it is inconvenient.
This is not the Mauritius we know. This is not the Mauritius we deserve. Under Jugnauth’s leadership, we are witnessing the erosion of the very foundations upon which our democracy was built. The Prime Minister’s tacit endorsement of Sawmynaden’s return to politics, without ensuring justice for Kistnen, is a betrayal of the highest order. It suggests that Jugnauth has become so detached from reality that he no longer understands the moral implications of his decisions.
A Cry for Justice: No Return to Politics Until Kistnen’s Murder Is Solved
The people of Mauritius must not stand idly by while figures like Yogida Sawmynaden are allowed to re-enter politics. This is not just about one man’s ambition; it is about the soul of our nation. Until the murderer of Soopramanien Kistnen is found and brought to justice, no one associated with this horrific case should be allowed anywhere near positions of power or influence.
To allow Sawmynaden back into the political arena while Kistnen’s family still waits for justice is to invite impunity. It is to signal that our government values political survival over truth, power over justice, and loyalty over morality. Mauritius deserves better. We deserve leaders who understand that justice is not a negotiable commodity, that accountability is not optional, and that the unresolved murder of Kistnen is not just a dark chapter in our history—it is a wound that has yet to heal.
Mauritius Deserves Better
Until the truth of Kistnen’s murder is uncovered and those responsible are held to account, Yogida Sawmynaden has no place in politics. And neither does any leader who would allow him to return. This is not just about political maneuvering—it is about the future of our democracy, the values of our nation, and the integrity of our leaders.
Pravind Jugnauth has lost touch with reality, and his willingness to endorse Sawmynaden’s return is proof of that. The people of Mauritius must demand better—demand justice, demand accountability, and demand leaders who are not afraid to stand on the side of truth, no matter how politically inconvenient it may be.
Mauritius cannot and will not move forward until the murderer of Soopramanien Kistnen is found. And until that day comes, no one associated with his death should be allowed to shape the future of our nation.
