PNG Chiefs welcome High Court ruling, dispute in holding pattern
The PNG Chiefs have welcomed a New Zealand High Court ruling in its favour regarding a dispute over its name, but NZ Rugby still has a case to be heard.
Kwabena Adu-Boahene's legal team has requested the High Court to remove certain fabricated statements and misrepresentations from the Deputy Attorney-General's submissions. The defence argues that the prosecution's written arguments contain invented testimony and unverified facts. The application, filed on October 19, 2026, challenges sections of the Deputy Attorney-General's submissions filed on October 9, 2026.
The defence disputes Exhibits X and 11, which the prosecution allegedly described as forged documents. They also challenge the prosecution's reliance on PW2's testimony regarding a cyber-defence system transaction, and the characterization of GH¢49.1 million linked to the transaction. The defence argues that these passages should be struck out or disregarded when determining the accused persons' case.
