WITH Parliament sitting as of Tuesday this week Speaker of Parliament Theo Zurenouc, following the reelection of Gordon Wesley to the Samarai-Murua seat after being ousted in 2014, admitted the newly elected MP into the chambers.
“I received a return of writ from the Governor General issued 31 March 2016 for by-election for the member to serve for the Samarai-Murua election following decision of National Court dated 29 November 2014 in matter of dispute matter between Mr Isi Henry Leonard the petitioner and Gordon Wesley and first respondent.”
The Speaker commissioned grand chief declarations of loyalty and commission 3rd August 2012, with the Sergeant in Arms admitting the new member.
Governor for Milne Bay Titus Philamon was the first to congratulate the reinstated member on behalf of the province in the Tuesday session.
“I would like to on behalf of the government and people of Milne Bay congratulate Honourable Gordon Wesley on his reelection to the seat of Samarai-Murua,” Philamon said.
“I thank the Government for the funding and the Electoral Commission for conducting the by-election, and thank the people of Samarai-Murua electorate for conducting a very example peaceful by-election in this country.”
“I know Mr Westley is not new to the electorate and now our team Milne Bay is complete.”
