Lawyer Gloria Salika Arrested and Charged With 83 Counts of Allegedly Involving CMCA Funds Totaling K268 Million Belonging to Western Province And CJ Sir Gibbs Salika (Father) Stepped Down From Official Duties For An Indefinite Period.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Pila Niningi, has announced that Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika, has stepped down from official duties for an indefinite period, as of yesterday-Wednesday 5th October 2022.

Minister Niningi says that this was done to protect the integrity of the office of the Chief Justice, following the arrest of his daughter, and a tribunal hearing into a Member of Parliament.

Gloria Salika a lawyer by profession was arrested and charged in connection with 83 counts of fraud-related charges, allegedly involving Non-Community Mine Continuation Agreement or CMCA funds, totaling K268 million, belonging to the Western Province people.

The case is set for trial at the National Court sometime this month.

Mr. Niningi says that another reason was over the Leadership Tribunal case involving the Minister for Labour and Immigration and Madang MP Bryan Kramer.

He said. back in 2019, Sir Gibbs had lodged a formal complaint for police to investigate a social media post by Mr Kramer, on the role of the Chief Justice, in relation to the case of Peter O' Neill.

Mr. Niningi said that the public might view that the Chief Justice can play a part in the overall outcome of the leadership tribunal decision because of this.

''Observance of fundamental principles and values is crucial in such situations'', said Niningi.
