Chairman David Tuhanuku said that Patrick Wong has been asked by the Government
to leave Solomon Islands voluntarily after he was found to have been living
illegally in Solomon Islands for about twelve months.
Mr. Tuhanuku
claimed that Wong is trying to throw authorities off his track by giving them
the impression that he left Solomon Islands last week when in fact he is still
in hiding in the country and authorities are aware of this.
“Wong has
manipulated the system to get a five year residence permit when it is normally
for two years and he lodged his application while living in Solomon Islands. On
top of that he had misled the Government and RIPEL shareholders and registered
all of RIPEL assets when he did not bring millions of loans into RIPEL as he
had always claimed,” Tuhanuku said.
The media has a
responsibility to tell the nation where is Patrick Wong because he had been on
the headline in the Solomon Islands media for many years and it is in the
interest of the country to know what happens to Patrick Wong.
Mr. Tuhanuku also calls on the International Crime Unit and the Central Bank to work together to investigate into reports that Patrick Wong had been banned from entering Fiji, Cook Islands, Kiribati, and Vanuatu.
