| Parliamentary Opposition and Rabaul MP Allan Marat |
PNG Parliamentary Opposition has taken a swipe at the Speaker Job Pomat for not having the benefit of accessing detailed information about the APEC Leaders’ Summit.
During Question Time in Parliament on Friday, Rabaul MP Allan Marat said in the past Parliament would sit for a fortnight and on the third the Parliamentary committee members would meet to pass resolution on their next course of action or activity plan.
He added that this was not happening with the committee responsible for APEC and Trade.
Marat stated Parliament has only been informed about the event on the mainstream media but not by the responsible Parliamentary Committee in Parliament.
The summit has already started in the lead up to the major one in November.
He has called on the Speaker to assign activities for the committee so a detailed and independent information be tabled in Parliament for its deliberation.
Mr Pomat responded that they would take the matter to the Leader of Government Business James Marape to ensure they perform their roles and responsibilities.
