Prime Minister, James Marape last night led fellow leaders and citizens, congratulating Bryan Kramer for temporarily having stayed his suspension and dismissal from office through a National Court decision.
That means Kramer will resume his duties as the National Member of Parliament representing the Madang Electorate in PNG.
He will continue to perform his duties until an outcome of judicial review proceeding being before court is delivered. He is challenging his suspension and dismissal from office in court.
Kramer had been suspended and dismissed from office following recommendations by the Leadership Tribunal due to allegations of misconduct in office.
PM Marape in a media statement said the Waigani National Court yesterday (Thursday) ruled in favour of Kramer’s application to stay the suspension and dismissal from office.
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.
