Female president of Mauritius, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, will resign this week over claims that she used a credit card that was provided to her by an NGO for personal expenses.
The president’s lawyer, Yousouf Mohammed said in an interview with a local news agency that Ms Gurib-Fakim has resigned for the “stability of the country” and that she would be leaving office on the 23rd of March.
The president was left grasping for her political career when a local media company published a report exposing that she used the credit card given to her by the London-based charity, Planet Earth Institute, for personal expenses.
