Deputy Opposition Leader Sam Basil says the signature on the vote of no- confidence motion paper was not forged.
Basil who is the mover of the vote submitted it to the Speaker's office on Tuesday.
Basil, supported by his Opposition Leader Don Polye, Lae MP Loujaya Kouza, Rabaul MP Alan Marat and Goilala MP William Samb fronted the media before Parliament convened this morning.
"We will not forge any signatures as claimed by the Government," Basil said.
His comments followed media reports of Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare denying he seconded the vote of no-confidence. Basil confirmed that the signatures on the motion paper are the same signatures from the last motion filed last year.
"We collect two signatures on two documents knowing well that the (previous) vote of no-confidence will be disallowed.
"On Tuesday we re-submitted the original copy." Basil says if the East Sepik Governor disapproved we will withdraw the vote of no-confidence and re-submit.
"The process is simple, if a signatory does not agree we will remove and re-submit.
The parliamentary committee chair by the Speaker will give the outcome of the motion of the vote of no-confidence submitted by the Opposition next Tuesday.
