Fiji Labour Party says the Fiji Police Force cannot take up offers of a free ride by any bus company as it will be tantamount to accepting an inducement.

“No State institution can allow its integrity and independence to be comprised by accepting offers of such nature,” said Labour Leader Mahendra Chaudhry.

He was referring to media reports (FT 30.10) that NFP parliamentarian Parmod Chand announced at the Party’s campaign meeting in Labasa on Saturday that from today Police officers in uniform will be allowed free travel on buses owned by Parmod Enterprise Ltd. if they need to go for an investigation.

Mr Chaudhry has also questioned the timing of the offer. “This is clearly a vote buying tactic, announced at a political campaign meeting just months before an election.”

“Shortage of transport has been a chronic problem within the Police Force for years. Why is the offer being made now and that at a political meeting? In any case, the Police Force cannot accept such inducements,” Mr Chaudhry said.

FLP calls on the Electoral Commission to investigate this sort of vote buying tactics as they contravene the Electoral Act.

“These corrupt practices need to be nipped in the bud before they contaminate our entire electoral process. The EC must also investigate the $1000 cash cheques being handed out by the Prime Minister.

“These are blatant vote buying tactics which also contravene the Electoral Act. There is no criteria, no transparency in the handing out of these moneys. Nor is there any follow up to see that it is utilized for the purpose given.

“It is an abuse of the Government of India funding for micro finance. I am sure the Indian Government did not mean the fund to be used for political purposes,” Mr Chaudhry said.
