THE Leadership Tribunal did not hand down the ruling for suspended Madang MP Bryan Kramer due to issues beyond their control.
The Tribunal chairman Justice Lawrence Kangwia adjourned the court to tomorrow (Monday 1st May, 2023) to hand down the ruling.
Two months ago (28/02/23) the Tribunal had found Madang MP Bryan Kramer guilty on seven allegations of misconduct in office.
The Tribunal also found him not guilty on four allegations. The tribunal is chaired by Justice Lawrence Kangwia.
Mr Kramer had faced a total of 11 allegations of misconduct against him. Three allegations were related to social media publications purportedly scandalising the judiciary- namely the conduct of Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika – in suggesting a conflict of interest.
Another allegation is in relation to Kramer’s alleged interference with police operational matters that resulted in the termination of Paul Puri Nii, former director legal services (now committal court magistrate at Waigani).
Other allegations against Kramer relate to decisions made by the Madang development authority to establish its own company, Madang district works and equipment limited and Madang ward project limited to implement the DDA’s own development programmes by funding the wards to construct their own classrooms, aid posts as well as repair of town roads that had failed to be maintained by successive provincial administrations.
