Opposition leader, Belden Namah, has filed a National Court application, requesting that it take seizure of the Warrants of Arrest of the Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill and two of his senior Ministers.
In an exclusive interview last night, Mr Namah told N-B-C News, that he is taking this step to challenge issues surrounding the warrants of arrest including, the suspension of the four policemen and the directives issued by the Police Commissioner, Tom Kulunga. Last week, the Waigani District Court set aside the arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and his two Ministers, ruling that they were issued under the Arrest Act of 1997, which is non-existent. Mr Namah says, he will also cite the Commissioner and his senior officers, for lying in their affidavits, that his complaints were not acknowledged. "How can they deny in public and tell lies that they are not aware of my complaint? "I will make available to you copies of the letters. "They lied in their affidavits, that they wre not aware of my complaint. "I wrote on the 29th of October. "On the 1st of November, Matthew Damaru and the Commissioner responded. "Matthew Damaru actually took my report and registered it on the OB report, and gave the report number 185/13. "So how can they sign affidavits, swear and then tell lies to the court? "I'm going to cite them for contempt and perjury. "I will also refer the Commissioner to the Ombudsman Commission," Mr. Namah said. The matter will be going before the National Court at half-past-nine this morning. Comments are closed.
