Proof judicial system is working

Letters

THE allegations of misappropriation, official corruption and abuse of office against former PM Peter O’Neill might have been a case which was “highly politicised” as O’Neill contended (Letter, The Southeast Asian Times 22/10).
But the fact that the case was thrown out by the court means PNG has a functioning democracy with an independent judicial system upholding the rule of law without fear or favour.
That’s something the people of PNG can be proud of and other countries in the region can draw lessons from to strengthen their democratic governance.
