The National Assembly of Seychelles is the legislative branch of Government.

The current National Assembly is the 7th Assembly elected since the introduction of the Third Republic in 1993. The National Assembly holds the Government to account, debates, amends and passes laws. The Members of the National Assembly debate on issues and expose the concerns of their districts, which can also be done through Select Committees. Article 85 of the Constitution provides for the vesting of the legislative power of Seychelles in the National Assembly, exercised by Bills passed by the Assembly and assented to or deemed to have been assented to by the President.

From Friday 23rd to Monday 26th October 2026, Hon. Gervais Henrie attended the Executive Committee of the SADC PF, which convened in Sandton, Johannesburg to consider key institutional, financial and governance matters affecting the Forum and its Member Parliaments.

The meeting brought together members of the Forum's leadership to review ongoing programmes and activities, strengthen institutional governance, and advance preparations for the 59th SADC PF Plenary Assembly, scheduled to take place in the Kingdom of Eswatini from 20 to 27 November 2026.

During the deliberations, Hon. Henrie raised concerns regarding Seychelles' participation in certain donor-funded parliamentary programmes implemented through the Forum, particularly initiatives focusing on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and HIV and AIDS governance. Members were informed that Seychelles has, in recent years, faced limitations in accessing financial support under some externally funded programmes due to its classification as a high-income country.

Members further encouraged dialogue aimed at identifying sustainable mechanisms that would enable all Member States to participate meaningfully in the Forum's activities.

Reflecting on the outcome of the discussions, Hon. Henrie welcomed the opportunity to raise Seychelles' concerns at the regional level and reiterated the importance of continuing conversations on the matter. “The situation is a wake-up call for Africa to start considering its own financing. Even in instances where a grant was not being misused, Seychelles has been disqualified. This leaves the Forum in a delicate position because of its reliance on external financial support for several ongoing programmes”.

From Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th October 2026, the Finance & Public Accounts Committee (FPAC) and the National Assembly of Seychelles was represented by Hon. Sandy Arissol in his capacity as a Member of the FPAC and as Deputy Treasurer of the Southern African Development Community Organisation of Public Accounts Committees (SADCOPAC), at the SADCOPAC Peer Review Programme and Training for Members of Public Accounts Committees (PACs) held in Maputo, Mozambique.

The programme focused on enhancing the effectiveness of Public Accounts Committees in promoting accountability, transparency and good governance through improved scrutiny of public expenditure, audit findings and government performance.

Addressing participants during the programme, Hon. Arissol underscored the importance of strategic partnerships in strengthening democratic governance and public financial oversight across the continent; “The partnership between the African Union Commission, SADCOPAC and AFROSAI-E is not merely institutional liaison. It is the construction of a complete governance loop from audit findings to parliamentary accountability, to policy improvement”.

As a longstanding participant in regional parliamentary networks, the National Assembly of Seychelles continues to engage actively in initiatives that strengthen parliamentary oversight, accountability and good governance.

From Monday 12th to Thursday 15th October 2026, the National Assembly of Seychelles was represented at the SADC Parliamentary Forum (PF) Standing Committee Sessions by Hon. Rocky Uranie, Hon. Gervais Henrie, and Hon. Denise Clarisse.

The sessions were hosted under the theme “From Regional Commitments to National Action: Strengthening Parliamentary Leadership for Regional Integration, Constitutionalism and the Rule of Law”.

The principal focus of the Standing Committee Sessions was on the ways in which parliaments can transform regional commitments into tangible outcomes for citizens through legislation, oversight, budgeting, accountability and effective implementation.

A major highlight was the launch of the SADC Regional Child Marriage Monitoring and Evaluation Dashboard, an accountability tool designed to track implementation of the SADC Model Law on Eradicating Child Marriage, identify gaps and strengthen parliamentary oversight.

Speaking on the sessions, Hon. Clarisse commented that, "Our responsibility as parliamentarians does not end with endorsing regional commitments; it begins with ensuring that those commitments are translated into concrete actions, adequate resources, and measurable improvements in the lives of our people."
