In a statement today, Khan said if the allegation is true, it would constitute the common law offences of corruption and soliciting a bribe. “It also casts serious criminal behaviour on the other seven President’s Senators, since the people of the Republic remain unaware as to who were the two senators allegedly seeking this bribe,” Khan said. Khan further argued that the matter must be reported to the police for a full criminal investigation. “Never in the history of this country has such a scandalous criminal allegation been made against parliamentarians,” Khan said. The Prime Minister has not named the senators she claims were involved.
