Journal Article
Vanuatu
2016
Overview
The headline in the Vanuatu Daily Post on the first day after the New Year holiday -- Police Boss Orders Bribery Case Completion -- indicate show intent the current government was to pursue the investigation of alleged bribery involving a number of members of Parliament (MPS) dating back to the previous year. Indeed, the bribery case dominated the news throughout 2015, making it the most politically unsettled year since Vanuatu's independence in 1980. Speaker of Parliament Phillip Boedoro ruled that the two motions should be dealt with in the order they were received; thus the bribery case against sixteen Opposition MPS was debated first. Carcasses denied the allegation of bribery, claiming instead that he had offered the money as loans to any MP who was willing to \"pledge their allegiance to him. The sixteen MPS left Parliament and remained absent for the rest of the session. Carcasses, however, turned to the Supreme Court for redress, arguing that only the court has the right to punish anyone and not parliament.
