This was made known by Chief Magistrate Nerrie Eliakim recently to Loop PNG.
The country’s Chief Justice Sir Salamo Injia also said this in Wewak during the ground breaking of the new Wewak Sub Regional Complex.
Sir Salamo said both the high and low courts have been assisted by the government but a huge share of the budget has gone to the higher judiciary.
“The lower courts seem to be struggling and the Chief Magistrate only last week gave a full account on the state of affairs in terms of budget support in the lower judiciary.
