Tell us the complete story!

Here is the part we know - there was an election 2003 - new people took their seats and some were defeated.

This was in November 2003 ...

Apparently there were MHA's that had no money left in their allowances after the last election.

Some MHA's had to spend all of their money for 2003-2004 by the 2003 election in October.

What did they do?

Did they run out and spend it all to get re-elected? If that is the case we need the answers.

Harvey Hodder stated yesterday that he told (whoever) that this was the last time extra money was going to be approved.

1. How did the request to the IEC come about?

2. Who had little or no money left in their allowances following the election?

3. Was the constituency fund of any member gouged for election purposes?

4. How much was in each MHA's fund 1 month before the election and how much was left after the election?

5. Why did all MHA's get the extra cash - if they did not need it?

6. Why did re-elected MHA's get extra cash? Did they blow their established budgets?

If you want to be transparent and accountable the IEC should release this information.
