"We are warning of another Central Bank scenario similar to that in the 1999 parliamentary elections when the government vandalised the elections," said Tabtabaei. He claimed the government may use the emergency fund to buy votes and support 14 candidates to secure seats for them in the 2003 parliament, according to a government document recently revealed by MP Waleed Al-Jari and accepted by Deputy Premier and State Minister for Cabinet and Parliament Affairs Mohammed Daifallah Sharar. |
