Polye commends Judiciary for a successful legal year
And that the Opposition Leader Don Pomb Polye said the judiciary’s effort through the leadership of the Chief Justice and his deputies, in upholding the rule of law and serving justice to those who sought it this year, was worth commendable.
Hisremark stems from the closing of the legal year in 2015 with its resumption next February.
“Given the systems of governance are being tampered, the rule of law and democracy being undermined, and executive and the legislative arms of the government being compromised by those in power, the judiciary has proven to be our people’s last resort,” said Mr Polye when reminiscing the writing on the country’s wall.
Despite the judiciary, which came under fire from the public for its delay in dispensing justice in the cases,which are of national interests, he said so far it had managed it well in light of capacity issues at hand.
In the wake of break-down in command in the disciplinary forces, the Opposition Leader has also applauded them fortheir ‘no-retreat-no-surrender attitude’ in performing their constitutional roles in enforcing the rule of law.
He has urged them to take stock of their operations this year to return to work in the New Year for a much safer and securer society for all.
He has assured Papua New Guineans that the Opposition’s campaign for a change in government will become much stronger this time.
“We believe a change in government will be a win for the people,” a determined Polye said.
He has also commended the head of legislature and the Speaker of Parliament Theo Zurenuoc for transforming, reviving and reforming the Parliament since taking office in 2012.
He added that his deputy should also be praised for a job well-done for stepping in for Mr Zurenuoc who is acting as the Governor-General.
As the alternative Prime Minister, he said he was looking forward to working with them in restoring the Parliamentary democracy in 2016.
