Basil hits move to erode Pangu

PANGU Pati parliamentary leader Sam Basil has urged people to ignore any decision and announcement taken by its “estranged” national executives led by Patrick Pundao.
“At this stage, the only unchallenged authority in Pangu Pati is the Parliamentary Wing of which I am the parliamentary leader,” Basil said.
“Until all matters involving the Pangu Council generally and the non-parliament national executive are resolved by the National Court, the only authorised statements on Pangu Pati matters are those sanctioned by my office as the Pangu Pati parliamentary leader.
“The estranged executive comprising president Pundao, general secretary Morris Tovevae and treasurer Daniel Kapi failed to comply with a National Court order to meet with the Pangu Council on April 19, 2018. That raises serious doubts about their standing and concern about the affairs of the Pangu Pati.
“The rest of the Pangu Council did meet, complying with the National Court orders.
“The minutes of that meeting – together with affidavits of all who attended – shall be submitted to the National Court.”
Pangu Council members who attended the April 19 meeting were Basil, Goilala MP William Samb, Sinake Rea, Nelson Tugo and Judith Kanadi.
“Instead of making misleading announcements to the Pangu Pati faithful nationwide, and the publicly generally, Pundao, Tovevae and Kapi should prepare themselves to explain why they did not attend the 19th of April meeting as ordered by the National Court.”
