Roberto Legaie
Speaking about his own background, Mr. Legaie says that he was born on th 7th December 1994 in Seychelles victoria hospital in a family of 2 & following studies at Anse Aux Pins primary school and up until Secondary 5 (S5) at Pointe Larue school, he joined the Seychelles Police Academy (SPA) for two years and completed a certificate in Policing before joining the Seychelles Police Force (SPF).

He explains that the SPA was one of his first choices for post-secondary training as he wanted to learn more about the law and on how to maintain it.

A quest to learn about and explore new things led him to join other organisations, including the Inspectorate Department of the Seychelles Licensing Authority (SLA), Ste Anne Resort and Constance Ephelia Hotel.

Realizing that he wanted to continue maintaining the law, Mr. Legaie was re-instated in the SPF where he is currently working at the Anse Aux Pins Police Station, following completion of one year as a Traffic Investigator at the Guard Room of the Airport Police Station.

Prior to his election as Speaker of the SNYA, he was also on the board of the District Youth Committee (DYC), sharing his ideas for resolving certain issues that youth in Seychelles are currently facing.

= Moral and Ethical Obligations = ''Ethics, integrity, accountability and honesty are important values for a police officer to possess. At all times, police officers must follow the law and departmental regulations. For example, use of force must be reasonable and necessary. They are are expected to carry out their duties and responsibilities equitably and justly. Police must not show favoritism or act in a discriminatory manner recognizing that all citizens deserve respectful treatment regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, national origin or religion, for instance. The police code of ethics prohibits dishonesty and corruption. Police officers who engage in serious misconduct on duty or in their personal life can face disciplinary action and legal prosecution. When assisting crime victims, police have a duty to be caring, compassionate and responsive by taking the report seriously, pursuing the offender and explaining victim services available in the community.''

''I like to pass my leisure time both in active and passive way. I really enjoy reading or watching films, because it's always interesting, helpful and helps to relax, what is especially necessary after a long tiring day. Also I am fond of active sports, swimming, when it is possible. Sometimes you feel you need to escape from everyday worries and to do something no thought-provoking. In many cases I can't let me doing anything very extraordinary, so I just go walking over long distances. It really helps to release the tension and refresh the mind''.

= New Speaker of Youth Assembly set to help youth access all available opportunities = In April 2018, it was announced that new members of the 15th cohort of the Seychelles National Youth Assembly (SNYA) had been elected

Early in May 2018, the new cohort was officially launched and the new members took their oath during an inauguration ceremony at the same venue.

Mr. Legaie explains that the SNYA is a non-political educational forum which aims to provide its members with the opportunity to nurture their knowledge, as well as enable them to develop their speaking skills.

''He adds that his role as the new Speaker is “to guide the assembly through its deliberations, to stay connected with the issues that youth are going through, and to find solutions for these problems”. As part of his oath, Mr. Legaie stated that they are “driven by the common passion of building the future we want, a future that leaves no one behind”.''

Mr. Legaie is first and foremost intent on helping youth in Seychelles realise and feel that they matter, adding that the 15th cohort aims to show young people that cannot speak for themselves how to access all of the opportunities that are available to them, and to provide them with the necessary tools to help them avail of these prospects.

He notes that the youth have the keys to unlock their full potential and to inspire their peers to do the same, however, there are many that are unaware that there are many opportunities around, such as the youth assembly itself and the district youth committee.

“This new generation thinks that they are alone even if there’s many committees helping them, and even giving them opportunities. I want the youth that are in these committees to be more visible in their activities, and let the youth take part in it without excuse,” says Mr. Legaie.

It is through appreciation, recognition and thoughtfulness in his own daily routine that Mr. Legaie intends on gaining the trust of other young people, in order to achieve his objectives as an advocate for the youth.

He notes that the other members of the new assembly are key to achieving these same objectives, explaining that he has a great opportunity to work with 43 respectful, educated, confident and friendly members who are ready to participate at any moment he calls upon.
