On December 9th, Fataleka MP hon. Rex Annex Ramofafia was constitutionally declared free from the petition levied against him by Allan Bae. The high court dismissed the court case due to the failure of the petitioner to comply with rule and lack of providing genuine evidence.

According to the Solomon Islands constitution, the petitioner must sign the petition, however, in this case, his lawyer has signed the petition on his behalf. This signing is not acceptable and violates the law.

Also, the evidence provided by the petitioner were not genuine. Following his careful consideration, the judge concluded that the charges were null and void, baseless and weightless. Based on the two reasons, the high court judge dismissed the court case and declared the MP a free person.

Supporters who turn up during the trial at high court

The high court decision was welcomed by many of the MP's supporters, who have stood with their MP over the two weeks of trial. Following the high court declaration, the supporters gladly jumped into a celebration to express their jubilation.

According to rumors, it was believed that the former Fataleka MP Mr. Steve Abana was behind the move. He was believed to have financed the petition cost in anticipation to disqualify the new MP.

Justice is always just, no matter what, it will remains just.
