Christianity Bill Clarified

The Bill was tabled in Parliament on Thursday, February 16th by the Minister for Justice and Attorney General Pila Niningi.

Kwa said the bill is not a proposal that was developed overnight and presented to Parliament the next day, rather it was developed in 2013 before the time of the Marape-Rosso Government.

Dr Kwa said the purpose of the bill is not to affect the rights of individuals to freedom of thought, conscience and religion under Section 45 of the Constitution, rather it is to make PNG a Christian nation.
