Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea: Prime Minister Hon. James Marape has this
afternoon congratulated Bryan Kramer on the outcome of his court application relating to the case on his dismissal from office.
The Waigani National Court today ruled in favour of Kramer’s application to
stay the suspension and dismissal from office, while reinstating him as the Member for Madang Open until a judicial review proceeding challenging the dismissal is fully heard.
Prime Minister Marape said as he received the news, “I congratulate the Honourable Bryan Kramer on this success, and we welcome him back to Government.
“I commend his maturity and resilience. Without protesting publicly and no
matter how long it has taken, he has deployed the use of our country’s courts
to exercise his Constitutional rights.
“The Honourable Kramer represents a class of politicians who fight for what
they believe is right. They are not in politics for the love of money or fame but
there to do what is right for their people.
“I am blessed to have him in my coalition among members who share this
same view.
“Since we assembled in 2019, the majority of us have remained together,
united in our common cause to serve our people. Kramer is one of these leaders.
“I am glad he is back. I welcome him and will be supporting him in his role as
Member for Madang and whatever other role Government gives him,” said
PM Marape
