Lieutenant Governor Indicted in Bribery Probe | Honolulu News

A major political scandal erupts on Oahu as Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke and four others face felony bribery charges tied to a $7 million COVID-19 testing contract allegedly secured through illegal campaign contributions and cash payments. The case, sparked by a 2022 federal probe, accuses Luke of accepting up to $70,000 in campaign funds in exchange for state contracts, while a fleeing lobbyist, Tobi J. Solidum, is also charged with mismanaging funds and bribing officials. With arrest warrants issued and Governor Josh Green demanding Luke’s resignation, the fallout could reshape Hawaii’s political landscape — all while defendants remain presumed innocent.
