Justice G.A. Wiltens also found the former minister of agriculture Matai Seremaiah, the former minister of health Jerome Ludvaune, and former MP for Tafea Outer Islands Tom Kerr innocent of the charges.
Justice Wiltens said Salwai was not acting in self interest, nor that of his family when he appointed Ludvaune as minister of health and Kerr as parliamentary secretary in November 2013 but for the stability of the national government.
