As of now, gov.mu is a 2nd level domain (same as biz.mu or com.mu) - which
means you buy xyz.biz.mu or abc.com.mu as well as azerty.gov.mu. For gov.mu,
3rd level have been "sold" to the government (whether they have paid or not
is a different issue).

Government should be able to buy gov.mu and control whatever sub-domains
(3rd level) they want to have. Hence paying for 1 domain only. But it will
not hurt if given for free (1 domain only) and government controls gov.mu
and whatever sub-domains they may create. How the government manages gov.mu's
sub-domains will be entirely their responsibility - the not-for-profit org
("The Trust") has to ensure that gov.mu works, without bothering about the
sub-domains.

NO.

I would also like .mu with added security (DNSSEC).
