Opposition
Leader Sir Mekere Morauta said today that the Somare Government is very scared
of losing power.
“It
is clearly doing everything it can to make sure that the Opposition’s planned motion
of no-confidence is killed,” he said.
“A
band of royal visits to Cairns using the aerial PMV (Falcon Jet)which cost the
public K130 million to buy – Somare is yet to disclose the operational costs of
his PMV – has been going on over the last two weeks to court the Speaker.
“The
visits were led by Father Somare and concluded by Son Somare.”
The
Opposition Leader said that he was sure the Speaker was fully aware of his duty
and obligation under the Constitution to process the motion and let the
people’s representatives decide by voting, democratically, as provided for in
PNG’s laws.
“I
urge the Speaker to withstand the onslaught of rogues who are asking him to
disobey the Constitution.”
Sir
Mekere has called on Members of Parliament in the current Government ranks and
the public to speak out and urge the Speaker to allow the motion to be tabled.
“The
Opposition intends to re-submit the motion on Tuesday and expects the Speaker
to table it and to adjourn Parliament for a week,” he said.
“PNG
Party will lead the march to oust this evil arrogant Government.”
