MEDIA RELEASE
Saturday, May 26, 12
The Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare said the State of Emergency in the National Capital and the Southern Highlands Province is illegal.
Sir Michael said, “I have checked with the Office of the Governor General and his Excellency has personally informed me that he did not sign any approval for parliament to sit last week.
“The gazettal therefore to reconvene parliament is fraudulent and yet another abuse of process by the O’Neill Regime.
“As the sitting of parliament is at the outset illegal, and decision taken last week regardless of whether there was any quorum is still null and void.
“I urge members of the disciplinary forces not to take any more action based on illegal political directions.
“Both Mr O’Neill and Namah have repeatedly violated and breached the laws of Papua New Guinea since assuming office illegally last August.
“They continue to disrespect court orders and have no avenue left for redress as they have interfered repeatedly with the judiciary.
“That is the core problem plaguing this rogue regime. Therefore any support for their illegal activities must stop immediately, said Sir Michael.
