The chiefs from Port Olry in Santo, Lounelapen (Tanna) and Melsisi (Pentecost) said their people are happy with the decision taken by President, Tallis Obed Moses, to relieve the former PM’s of their convictions, despite political reactions from some political leaders.
Chief Eloi Taris, Chief Georges Nakat and Chief Joseph Viretamarin said the President had only performed his constitutional role to pardon them and nothing else, reports the Vanuatu Daily Post.
Former Prime Ministers Serge Vohor, Joe Natuman and Charlot Salwai were pardoned by the President last week.
