Vanuatu

Anti-corruption fight

Vanuatu Opposition leader and president of the Vanuaaku Party, Donald Kalpokas, has called for a fight against injustice and corrupt practices in government. He made the call at the 23rd annual congress of his party and told delegates the injustice now prevalent in Vanuatu discriminated against citizens who did not support the present coalition governmetn of Prime Minister Maxime Carlot Korman and Father Walter Lini.

Kalpokas said this discrimination could be clearly seen in the awarding of scholarships, business licences and jobs to government supporters only. He said this was a violation of their human rights and a suppression of their constitutional rights to express themselves.
