The Rising Sun has turned an incident involving Dr. Govinden at the airport last year into their ‘cause celèbre’.

The authority decided not to pursue the matter. The reason behind the vendetta against the good doctor it seems has more to it than just the incident at the airport.
The Rising Sun, we believe, has bitten more than they can chew as far as the article, “Our Right To Answer”, in their issue for Monday January 14, 2008. In the article The Rising Sun wrote, “We used to believe No One Is Above the Law in Seychelles but this case seems to be one which has proven that some people are indeed above the Law. Can you image if tomorrow, someone in a top position in Seychelles was to rape a minor or caught trafficking drugs and he or she was allowed to carry on with his or her life unpunished, enjoying the same privileges as if nothing had happened, how many of us would be so forgiving?”
