Opposition deny defection within opposition

The Parliamentary Opposition has denied the claim that four of its members have joined the Manasseh Sogavare-led government.

A source earlier told SIBC News that the four Opposition that have defectors are: M-P for West New Georgia and Vona Vona, Peter Boyers; East Kwaio MP, Stanley Sofu; East Are Are MP, Edward Huni'ehu and MP for Fataleka, Steve Abana.

But the MPs have categorically denied the claim that they have joined the government.

Mr Abana says he condemns the method used by the government to prolong the situation, and failing to fill the vacant Ministerial seats.

He re-iterates that the Opposition has the support of 26 MPs.

Mr Abana says Opposition members remain unmoved
