" The Department has no legal authority in the matter, but he has the moral duty to ask local authorities to propose new regulations to the Trade Fee . "This was said Hervé Aimée this afternoon, Tuesday, January 28, while the controversy swells on Trade Fee . A letter will be sent to the relevant authorities to ask them to reconsider this fee, specified by the Minister of Local Government.
A ministerial committee, chaired by Hervé Aimée and comprising ministers Bunwaree Faugoo Mohamed and Seetaram, met earlier in this topic. " The department may not impose any costs.It is the local authorities have the power to come up with regulations on this subject , "insisted Hervé Aimée. He added: " It is not true to say that the decision comes from my ministry. Mayors who believe their rights have been violated can go to court. "
In addition, he asked the traders to pay the Trade Fee. These can pay half by 31 January and half in July according to the law.
