The Bank of Mauritius (“the Bank”) has taken cognizance of media reports insinuating that the Governor and the First Deputy Governor of the Bank would have authorised a payment of Rs500,000 to an external legal adviser, without seeking the approval of the Board, by causing the invoices to be divided into two invoices in order to evade the procurement policies.
The Bank categorically rejects such accusations, which are false and malicious, and wishes to clarify that no payment of Rs500,000 or payments cumulatively amounting to Rs500,000 has been made to an external legal adviser of the Bank by the current Management of the Bank.
