Port Moresby – Yesterday, the National Court in Waigani ruled in favour of Bryan Kramer’s application to stay the suspension and dismissal from office, effectively reinstating Kramer as the Member for Madang Open Electorate until the judicial review proceedings challenging his dismissal are fully heard and determined.
Kramer in a statement extended his sincere gratitude to his legal team, particularly Mr. Nelson Kopune, who successfully presented Kramer’s application, and Mr. Nemo Yalo, whose diligent efforts in his earlier Supreme Court appeal enabled this case to be reconsidered by the National Court.
The reinstated Madang MP also expressed his heartfelt thanks to the countless individuals from across the country, especially those from Madang, for their unwavering support and prayers during this challenging period.
“I am overwhelmed by your kindness and solidarity,” Kramer thankfully stated.
“As I return to office, my immediate priority will be addressing the challenges facing Madang and working diligently to restore order and progress in our community.”
“To provide context, I was sworn into office as the Member for Madang in August 2022. However, less than 30 days later, in September 2022, I was suspended, and in May 2023, I was subsequently dismissed from office. Having been out of office for nearly two years, I am eager to resume my duties and serve the people of Madang once again.”
