SOLOMON ISLANDS DENIED FREE AND FAIR ELECTION: J.C.S.G

Mr. Henson adds, the newly introduced voter identification card has allegedly become the newest and most highly demanded commodity on the market right now.

He claims, a good majority of registered voters who have registered in Honiara at the out-of-constituency voter registration centre have allegedly ‘sold’ or traded their voter ID cards to MP’s and other intending candidates for money, material, school fees, food, gifts and others.

There has also been allegations that certain MP’s as well as intending candidates have dispatched teams of agents into constituencies supposedly to recruit people for registration, offering transport, food, money, and goods in exchange for voter ID cards, the group said.

Mr Henson further adds, this is destroying the credibility of the whole election process and essentially denies the nation of ‘free and fair’ elections thereby further destroying our future.
