The Sinoe Citizens Union has blamed Senator Mabotu Nyepan and Representative Nelson Wah Bah for the series of unrests at the Sinoe Rubber Plantation.

The union alleged the two lawmakers were fueling tension on the plantation through a surrogate group of ex-fighters planted on the farm.

The Chairman of the Sinoe Citizens Union Steve Flan-Paye said his organization has credible information to prove the involvement of the two lawmakers.

Mr. Flan-Paye described the situation at the Sinoe Rubber plantation as a stigma to the Sarpo people but did not elaborate.

He said if the two lawmakers fail to stabilize the situation, his group would lobby for two hundred fifty signatures to seek their removal from office.

When contacted the Chairman of the Sinoe Legislative Caucus Senator Mabotu Nyepan said the caucus was holding series of meetings and would comment appropriately.
