Opposition Fights Controversial Bills, Court Allows No-Confidence Case

LinkedIn Post by: James Guken - Journalist at EMTV

 The Opposition has strongly opposed several new laws passed in Parliament, calling them unconstitutional and undemocratic.

Key among them are:

• The Christianity Bill, declaring PNG a Christian nation.

• The Section 145 Amendment, blocking a Vote of No Confidence (VONC) for 18 months if a previous motion fails.

• Amendments to the NEC and Prime Minister Act, making NEC decisions and the Prime Minister’s actions unquestionable.

Deputy Opposition Leader James Nomane slammed the VONC restrictions as a dictatorial move and vowed to challenge them in court. Governor Allan Bird criticized the timing of these amendments, accusing the government of hypocrisy. MP Kerenga Kua warned that granting unchecked power to the Prime Minister weakens democracy.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Nomane’s legal challenge regarding the VONC motion against PM James Marape. The court rejected an objection to the case’s competency and ruled that Nomane has legal standing to proceed. The case will continue in court tomorrow.
