The Papua New Guinea (PNG) Trade Union Congress (TUC) in a letter to the NCD Metropolitan Superintendent, Silva Sika has requested to be granted approval to stage a protest to the parliament to hand in a petition to the prime minister regarding the removal of Justin Tkatchenko from his position as a Member of Parliament. According to the letter written to the Met. Supt. by PNGTUC General Secretary Anton Sekum, the PNGTUC and its affiliates in coalition with Civil Society Organizations, FBO’s, Women’s Groups, Youth Representatives, Non-Government Organizations and other concerned groups including ordinary citizens regarding the Justin Tkatchenko scandal, want action. “With the growing suspense as each day passes, we now consider rolling out our next move.” The purpose of the letter was to inform the Met. Supt. about their intention of hosting a gathering outside the Parliament House tomorrow (Tuesday 06th June) when parliament sits for the June session, to make their voices heard and to stop the disgraced MP from entering Parliament. They have requested that the NCD Police cordon off the Boulevard as they conduct a sit-in protest. Attempts by PNG HAUSBUNG to speak with NCD Met Supt. on this matter were unsuccessful.
