BREAKING NEWS - CHIEF MAGISTRATE REJECTS VAKI'S APPLICATION TO SET ASIDE THE ARREST WARRANTS -


Chief Magistrate has rejected Police Commissioner's application to set aside the Arrest Warrants for Prime Minister Peter O'Niell, Commissioner Vaki through his Lawyers asked the district courts to set aside the warrant of arrest against Prime Minister Peter O’Neill in relation to the Paul Paraka saga.
A decision on this matter handed this afternoon rejected this application. This follows the National Court decision on Tuesday turning down Mr O’Neill’s bid to stop the same warrant of arrest from being implemented.

Mr Vaki based his submissions on the National Court decision which ruled that the Police Commissioner had the constitutional duty to perform and the courts cannot interfere with the functions of the police force.

On Wednesday , police lawyer Sam Bonner briefed out the matter to prominent barrister Greg Sheppard of Young and Williams Lawyers to make submissions on behalf of the Police Commissioner to set the warrant of arrest aside.
The submissions were presented before Chief Magistrate Nerrie Eliakim who adjourned the matter to tofay  for a ruling.
According to Mr Bonner, the submissions were based on the recent National Court decision that recognises the authority of the police force under Mr Vaki to carry out its constitutional duty to deal with every aspect of police functions, including warrants of arrest.

Mr Bonner said as per the National Court decision, Mr Vaki, as the commissioner of police, asked the District Court to discontinue the warrant on the basis that proper assessments are required and he is duty-bound to go through the investigation files to ascertain its merits.

He said Mr Vaki needs ample time to deal with the issues in an impartial and objective manner as he is being caught up with numerous court proceedings against him and he is not in a right frame of mind to deal with the warrant until such time when theses issues are settled.
