MEMBER for Kandep Don Polye could still be the Deputy Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea.
This brings to question whether former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Immigration and Member for Wabag Sam Abal’s swearing in as DPM by the Acting Governor General Paul Tiensten after his appointment by the National Executive Council was in order.
The Opposition at a press conference yesterday said the Cabinet continue to manipulate parliamentary process breaching the Constitution along the way erroneously to satisfy their interest.
It was revealed the House Speaker Jeffery Nape was in the country and not away in Cairns as claimed by the government finding that as an excuse to appoint their own man to officiate at the swearing-in ceremony.
The Opposition Leader Sir Mekere Morauta, his deputy Bart Philemon and MP for Abau Sir Puka Temu said the flaunting of parliamentary traditions expressed through the Standing Orders as well as the underlying Constitution of PNG was very clear.
