SAPP offers assistance on electoral reform

 KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) is offering its services to the parlimentary select committee on electoral reform announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

According to its deputy president, Datuk Eric Majimbun and vice president , Datuk Chua Soon Bui, SAPP has facts and information on ducious voters in Sabah.

Speaking to reporters yesterday, Eric said he had information on more than 20 people whose home address is at Lon Pond in Kimanis but their voting districts are in Sepanggar, his constituency and Sandakan.

This could not be so because the Election Commission (EC) had emphasized that voters could only be those from a locality, he stressed.

“So if the government is really serious about reforming  the electoral roll, then it must form the select committee and not just talk about it. I have had experience before with the Integrity Select Committee where we had so many meetings, findings, but at the end of the day, nothing was done,” he said.
