Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Joseph Lelang, made this comment in response to the National Executive Council (NEC) appointment of a panel of three independent experts to review a tax dispute between the Internal Revenue Commission (IRC) and Barrick Niugini Ltd (BNL).
Lelang said if there was a dispute between the IRC and Barrick, there are appropriate forums under the law for dispute resolutions.
This new panel of experts, he said is a waste of resources and time and has no legal standing at all to resolve any dispute.
