Kiriwina-Goodenough MP Tomuriesa summoned for a Police Interview
Kiriwina Goodenough MP Douglas Tomuriesa and his wife will be formally asked by police to present themselves to the National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate tomorrow.
Police Commissioner David Manning confirmed he signed a letter of invitation by the National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate Director Detective Chief Superintendent Matthew Damaru for the MP to present himself before police.
The case against Mr Tomuriesa and his wife was struck out by the Waigani District Court last November because case file was not ready.
Douglas Tomuriesa and his wife were charged with misappropriating and laundering K2.6 million intended for the upgrading of deteriorating health infrastructures in remote areas of Western.
The misappropriation and laundering is alleged to have occurred in Oct 2011.
Rachael Tomuriesa, 52, of Kolonoboi village, New Ireland, works as a personal assistant in the Office of the Prime Minister and is a company director and shareholder in a family business involved in building and construction.
National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate Director Detective Chief Superintendent Matthew Damaru says the charges were not dismissed but only struck out by the courts.
He says this means anytime when Fraud investigators complete the files, Mr Tomuriesa is subjected for re-arrest in order to reappear in courts.
Mr Damaru says he has scheduled the time of interview for tomorrow. Statement
