Bryan Kramer temporarily reinstated as MP

 REINSTATEMENT TO OFFICE

Port Moresby, 22 August 2024 – Today, the National Court in Waigani ruled in favour of my application to stay the suspension and dismissal from office, effectively reinstating me as the Member for Madang Open Electorate until the judicial review proceedings challenging my dismissal are fully heard and determined.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my legal team, particularly Mr. Nelson Kopune, who successfully presented my application, and Mr. Nemo Yalo, whose diligent efforts in my earlier Supreme Court appeal enabled this case to be reconsidered by the National Court.

I also wish to express my 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.

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.
