Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: Kandepian Wane [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sun, Mar 30 2008, 06:43:34pm In reply to: Kandepen Opene 's message, "A. Manase vs D. Polye" on Tue, Mar 18 2008, 02:55:30pm SB, Because only 2 out of 8 boxes he hijacked were allowed to be counted. And the 2 boxes alone accounted for almost all the votes he scored in the whole of Kandep. BUT the main reason is Don Polye was the Deputy Prime Minister and acting PM and was a prime ministerial candidate at that time had Chief Somare quited and still today. Don't you think people of Kandep are stupid and blind to over look DON for someone like Alfred Manase or anybody else? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Polye abused his status and NA Party resources at that time by hijacking most ballot boxes which were diverted to his 'akalyandas' where voting took place on behalf of the vast majority. The disciplined forces were bribed and hence his win was guaranteed. Sure, Manase might have done such a thing on a small scale but Polye took a mega-chunk from the cake of 'vote rigging' and 'corruption'. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Polye Author: SB [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Mon, Mar 31 2008, 12:30:07am As the saying goes, there are always 2 sides to a story but I believe there are always 3 sides to a story. In this case, Manase's, Polye's and of course the truth. The court will hear both side's story and hopefully determine the truth. Let's just hope the result will reveal the truth and bring justice to those that have been wronged. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Polye Author: Kandepian Wane [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tue, Apr 01 2008, 07:08:21pm Kandepen Opene, Your impression of what you heard from largely biased sources is misleading. Not at one stage did Polye order or orchestrate any thing to rig the election in Kandep. There may have been isolated instances of irregularities by individual supporters but Polye never got involved like Manase did himself, he did with a criminal intent. You would know what I am saying if you are a true Kandepian and was there yourself during the time of election. PAPA ANTAP TASOL SAVE HUSAIT EM ITOK TRU NA HUSAIT GIAMAN.
