Madang MP - argh

[From the PNG Gossip column]

The Madang MP and Governor, James Yali sentenced to a 12 year jail sentence for raping a young girl, his sister-in-law, has been enjoying several trips to Madang town much to the disgust of law abiding residents. It would seem that the MP is getting preferential treatment from the Correctional Services Officers. On a recent trip to town the MP visited the doctor and managed to see many of his supporters at the surgery after the doctor had gone to lunch.
The Correctional Services Commissioner, Richard Sikani, has said that Mr Yali will now be transferred to Bihute Jail in the Eastern Highlands Province to try and avoid some of the issues with relatives and supporters meeting Mr Yali while he is attending the doctors etc.
