Micah query on OC out of line

 I FIND it absurd and very unethical for a senior politician in the likes of Ben Micah to argue with the Chief Ombudsman, Rigo Lua, about his referral to a leadership tribunal while branding the referral as a “stupid referral”.  Is the tireless minister under pressure or work stress due to current PNG Power state of emergency to have seen fit to question the integrity of our top watch dog which only somebody who is out of his right frame of mind would have done?  Is this what leaders are supposed to do? Does the minister have any sense of respect to the office of the Ombudsman Commission? I have never seen such thing happened before in the media but only through proper channels which are the courts and what Ben Micah has done is the first of its kind. What a great embarrassment for the minister to argue with the Ombudsman and then brand his referral with names. The Ombudsman Commission is an independent office established to discharge its duties without fear, favor or political interference and for Micah to state that it has “ulterior motives” only brings into question the integrity of the Ombudsman Commission the only outspoken mouthpiece of the simple majority people of this nation.
