Member of Parliament for West Guadalcanal and former Minister of Mines and Energy Moses Garu, is the latest MP to be charged for misconduct in office.

The Leadership Code Commission formally charged Mr. Garu for official misconduct on Thursday this week.

Chair of the Leadership Code Commission Francis Luza says the charge relates to an incident in December 2012 when the Member of Parliament facilitated the appointment of his own wife to be the Constituency Development Officer for West Guadalcanal.

Mr. Luza says Mr. Garu will respond to the charge in 60 days.
