Kami qualifies PNGRFU status (Post Courier 8/12/16)


Lawyer Steven Kami
THE wrangle over the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football Union (PNGRFU) leadership continues.The new faction under lawyer Steven Kami is further questioning the legitimacy of the appointment of Ben Frame.

In a statement yesterday, Kami said how can the appointment of Ben Frame be legitimate, when the constitution he refers to has not been registered and even today remains unregistered.

He further stated that he (Frame) cannot claim a position (president) when he was never elected to that position.

The Illegal constitution he runs under requires the position remain vacant until a Special General Meeting to fill the position is called or the position is filled at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM), if the position falls vacant within three months of the date of the next AGM.

With regards to World Rugby participation in this issue, Kami said they (new body) have set out steps to get themselves legally compliant.

“Then we will hold a special general meeting where we will invite Ben Fame and friends to nominate and attend.

“We want to get this sorted once and for all.

“We don’t need World Rugby to tell us what to do.

“We know what to do and are doing it legally and transparently.

“We are not shortcutting we are following the law,” he added.

“The only legal Board is my board,” he qualified.
