Edison James
Prior to the 2005 election Edison James travelled to Switzerland. This approved by the UWP Executive. Edison C James stayed at the Hotel Helmhaus. There Mr. James met with a number of foreign nationals with high net worth. As a direct result, Mr. James was able to secure the campaign financing for the 2005 election from six of the persons he met in Zurich of some 3 million ECD in exchange for diplomatic passports.
Transfers in 2005
