Commerce Trade and Industry Minister, William Duma's alleged involvement with Australian Oil Company, Horizon Oil, was raised in Parliament after numerous articles were published by Australian Media, Australian Financial Review.
Deputy Opposition leader, Dr Allan Marat, questioned the Prime Minister on whether an investigation would take place, and if Minister Duma would be sacked from Cabinet.
Prime Minister, James Marape, responded, emphasizing that the minister is Innocent until proven guilty by the country's Legal system and would not be sacked based on international media reports.
