West Makira Voters Threaten to Sell Ballot Papers

23 February 2010


Threat of Ballot papers being sold out to national general election candidates of West Makira is serious.

A concerned voter on West Makira says people there are suggesting to sell their ballot papers at 200 dollars each to candidates.

Vincent Heimaenia from Hada Bay Village says this is because people there feel that they do not have any elected member representing them in parliament, after the death of their former representative, the late Solomon Mamaloni.

Mr. Heimaenia says no development is happening in West Makira.

He says people there feel that if no candidate wants to buy their ballot papers, they will simply stay away from voting.
