Polye slams use of his name to cause problems
By JAMES APA GUMUNO
WORKS Minister and Kandep Open MP Don Poyle has urged his people not to use his name to cause problems regarding his election petition now before the court.
Mr Polye, who is also the Minister for Civil Aviation, told his people in Mt Hagen that election petition is a normal process.
He said a petitioner has constitutional rights to bring the matter to court when he is not happy with the election results.
Mr Polye said the people should respect the court, the petitioner and himself and allow the judicial system to take its course.
He said that his supporters should be mindful of that and maintain peace and harmony. Mr Polye urged supporters of both parties, petitioner Alfred Manase and himself, to maintain peace and harmony.
He said supporters from both sides have nothing to do with the petition and they cannot take the law into their own hands.
He strongly appealed to his supporters back in the district and some in the Western Highlands province not to cause any trouble using the election petition as an excuse.
Mr Polye said people should learn to respect one another and look after infrastructure developments in the province.
He said the people should accept the decision of the court as it is an independent body.
Meanwhile, Mt Hagen National Court postponed the hearing on the submissions from the all parties whether there was enough to effect the outcome of the Kandep Open.
Justice Gregory Lay urged all parties to return next week.
