Dismissal of Graham Everett Leung from Cabinet
Today I have decided to exercise the power conferred upon me by Section 92(3)(b) of the Constitution, to dismiss Mr Graham Everett Leung as a Minister holding the office of Attorney-General, with immediate effect.
I had appointed Mr Leung as a Minister of my Cabinet to serve as Attorney - General on 5 June 2024.
The findings in the recent Report of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the appointment of the FICAC Commissioner, has made it evident to me that Mr Leung’s position in my Cabinet is now untenable.
This is not a decision I have taken lightly, but one that is necessary in the best interest of the people that we serve.
