The Fijian Elections Office has forwarded a complaint of a possible Electoral Act breach to the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption involving the chief executive officer of Sun Insurance, Lolesh Sharma.
It is alleged that Mr Sharma held a staff meeting with his employees where he is alleged to have told them not to vote for FijiFirst in the upcoming General Election and that other political parties will revert Compulsory Third Party insurance back to insurance companies.
Mr Sharma allegedly told his staff that if they wanted to continue their employment with the company, they should not vote for FijiFirst but vote for either SODELPA or National Federation Party.
