Ex-Lord Mayor tipped to be next Port Chairman

Former lord mayor and deputy speaker, Jérôme Boulle, has been approached to become the next chairman of the Mauritius Ports Authority (MPA).

The MPA has been without a chairman since the sudden passing of Ashit Gungah in July.

Boulle confirmed he had accepted the part-time position but has yet to be appointed. He stressed it was not a return to politics, having pursued a career in journalism and communications after leaving politics.

Boulle was elected MP for the constituency of Grande-Rivière-NordOuest–Port-Louis-Ouest in 1976 and was lord mayor on several occasions.
