“Our Members and each of us must be urgently reminded of the provisions pertaining to Bribery within the Criminal Code Act 1974,” said the Chairman of TIPNG, Lawrence Stephens.
Stephens stated that Sections 61 and 62 of the Act clearly outline that bribery of Members of Parliament involves, “attempts, directly or indirectly, by fraud, threats or intimidation of any kind, to influence a Member of the Parliament in his vote, opinion, judgement or action on any such question or matter, or to induce him to so absent himself.”
