The Prime Minister Peter O'neill says, allegations of corruption raised by the Opposition against him are very serious, and must be supported with facts.
Opposition Leader Belden Namah accused Peter O'Neil of corruption, using the issues of the 3-billion Kina UBS loan, the Government's 50-million Kina purchase of power generators from an Israeli company, and the 71-million Kina Paraka scandal. Mr. O'Neil told Parliament during Grievance Debate on Friday, that the Paraka case will be carefully investigated and prosecuted. He says the Government's decision on the UBS loan is to get the country involved in owning its resources, and that his personal directions for the purchase of power generators is also not a crime. Mr. O'Neil says, his government has given serious attention to addressing corruption, strengthening legal institutions and providing record funding for them. He says this is the Government's answer to corruption, and that it will not interfere in anyway, with investigations underway by these agencies into the allegations. Comments are closed.
