Jailed politicians

Jailed politicians recalled from attending UMP congress

Their attendance were approved by the Correctional Centre manager in the absence of the director, who was attending the ground-breaking ceremony of the new correctional centre facility on Santo Island.

However, the approval was short lived upon the return of the director of Correctional Center, Johnny Marango, and the Director General (DG) of the Ministry of Justice, Mark Bebe, who revoked the centre manager’s decision.

Government authorities imply that the approval to allow Serge Vohor and Tony Wright to attend the congress was pressurized by one faction of the UMP camp.
