Is Wakias fit to be election manager?
The National, Thursday 10th May 2012
I READ in The National newspaper that David Wakias has been appointed election manager for Southern Highlands.
I note also that Wakias was implicated in the theft and misuse of more than K500,000 that the Electoral Commission had allocated for the update of common roll in the new Jiwaka province.
He was charged by the police and released by the court on a K2,000 bail pending hearing.
He was subsequently appointed to update the common roll in the Jiwaka province last year but I believe this has not been done satisfactorily.
As a Southern Highlan-der, I was disappointed to learn of Wakias’ appointment as the election manager for Southern Highlands.
What was the decision based on?
What qualifications or experience does he have?
