Abstract
The Papua New Guinea Constitution came into force at midnight on
16 September 1975 when the country became an independent, sovereign
State. This thesis is a study of a single aspect of this
Constitution, namely the legal control of the Executive. The task of
controlling the Executive is a major aim of the Constitution in that
it reflects what was perhaps the central concern of the Constitutional
Planning Committee (CPC) on whose recommendations much of the present
Constitution is based.
After an account of the factors which gave rise to the concern to
control the Executive is given, attention is directed to the main part
of the thesis, viz., the constitutional scheme of control the
constitution-makers devised for the purpose. The concluding chapter
provides some assessment of the operation of this scheme in practice,
focuäing, in particular, on the problems that have been experienced
since Independence. The chapter goes on to present some suggestions
as to the reforms that need to be made to the scheme, if the Executive
is to be adequately and effectively controlled in the future.
