Seychelles President Wavel Ramkalawan has announced the appointment of Janet Georges as the country's first female head of Seychelles Prison Services.
The announcement was made during a televised address.
Georges, currently an Assistant Superintendent of Police, will take on the role of Commissioner of Prisons, succeeding Raymond St. Ange. St. Ange has stated he will be available to assist Georges in her new role as needed, Seychelles News Agency reports.
In his address, President Ramkalawan also revealed plans to appoint a new board for the Islands Development Company (IDC) next week.

Ramkalawan emphasised that the address was an opportunity to discuss various national issues and reflect on the country's future direction.
