Papua New Guinea: PNG’s Interim Commission Against Corruption stalled as judge waits for visa

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The Australian judge appointed to head Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) new corruption-fighting body is wondering why he has not been allowed to start work.

Graham Ellis has been waiting for a visa to go to PNG so he can chair the Interim Commission Against Corruption.

The body was meant to replace PNG’s controversial coordinating agency Taskforce Sweep, which was dissolved after it sought to arrest Prime Minister Peter O’Neill for official corruption in 2014.

Mr O’Neill has long maintained the allegations against him were politically motivated and he has challenged the legality of the arrest warrant in court.
