Condemnation as Opposition MPs try to sabotage Nauruan aid and jeopardise local bank

The Government has condemned opposition MPs for deliberately damaging Nauru's reputation overseas and for attempting to influence New Zealand and Australia to cut their aid programs to the country.
 
Minister of finance and justice David Adeang has called on MP Roland Kun to resign after Mr Kun suggested to Radio New Zealand and Radio Australia that the two countries should act against Nauru.
 
During the interviews Mr Kun called Nauru an "abyss" and questioned whether New Zealand's annual funding of the law and justice sector was "a legitimate use of taxpayers' dollars".
 
Mr Adeang says Mr Kun's reckless comments prove he is unfit to be a member of parliament.
 
"This is a new low in Nauruan politics. The Opposition will do and say anything to gain power, even if it means hurting the Nauruan people and cutting local services and development."
 
Mr Kun's comments were more bizarre given the Government recently appointed a new magistrate and announced major reforms to increase accountability and transparency of the judicial process.
 
During the ABC radio interview, Mr Kun was asked if his comments were insulting to the new magistrate and registrar, but refused to answer.
 
Mr Adeang said the sabotage campaign led by Mr Kun and fellow Opposition MP Mathew Batsiua had also resulted in the Bendigo Bank reviewing its decision to start a branch on the island, proposing an agency instead.
 
"We have warned the Opposition several times that their international campaign to trash Nauru's reputation will hurt people, but they care only about their thirst for political power.
 
"We live in a democratic country and all MPs have the freedom to speak out, but the appropriate place to do this is at home, to the Nauruan people and the Nauruan parliament."
 
Mr Adeang said it was clear that the Government's efforts to stamp out cronyism and corruption of the past were hurting members of the previous government.
 
"Last June the Nauruan people gave us a clear and significant mandate to bring reform, and it is becoming increasingly clear that the people made the right choice.
 
"If aid money is lost due to the sabotage campaign by Roland Kun and his fellow Opposition MPs, they will never be forgiven."
 
The minister called on all Opposition MPs to stop damaging Nauru's name in the foreign media.
