Wapu Sonk, who was relieved from his role as a board director of the new PNG NRL franchise has denied allegations of corruption labeled against him and said he will allow internal investigations to continue.
Sonk who is overseas and spoke to Courier Mail said the report was defamatory and he will allow internal investigations to be conducted into the matter.
"Incorrect and defamatory allegations made against me in the Australian media. These claims are based on false information, and the matter is being investigated internally within KPHL and will be referred to the police for investigation."
This newsroom reached out to PNG NRL Franchise CEO, Andrew Hill to comment on whether the board has decided on an interim director, but attempts were unsuccessful.
The Sydney Morning Herald, last week alleged that Sonk as the Managing Director of KPHL was involved in corrupt dealings, questioning his credibility as a director on the new PNG NRL board.
Following this report, Sonk was sidelined from his role in the PNG NRL franchise. This was confirmed by Prime Minister James Marape in a press release Friday 17 July.
