According to Ms. Anderson, who is also a human rights lawyer with the Independent Jamaica Council for Human Rights, CAFFE would not have normally intervened unless it thought the ministers' statements were a deliberate attempt to corrupt the voting process.
"We have always remained neutral, but in this instance we thought that this was an attempt to affect the people's right to vote and stood in the way of a free and fair election," she said.
Ms. Anderson said that, under the Corruption (Prevention) Act, it is an offence for any public official or state official to solicit any benefit or advantage from another person for doing any act in the performance of his public functions.
"To threaten or arrange for the cheques to be issued or roads repaired only if electors vote or support a particular candidate appears to be aiding and abetting a criminal offence," she added.
Heh, heh.

By the way, what does it mean to suck salt through a wooden spoon ?
