ReplyDeleteWhen they start to wear uniforms in Parliament, I think that only then will you realize the gravity if this action...?
DeleteIt's a very sad day for the judiciary and justice system in png. We are now allowing the legislature to become more powerfull, contrary to the constitution. The arrest is politically motivated. To you Kulunga- Are you really going by the book to enforce the law or are you being politically controlled? You should be behind bars. Shame on you. Real Cop.
