The clerk of Papua New Guinea's parliament says any charges laid against the Madang Open MP Bryan Kramer for referring to a fellow MP as "dumb" on Facebook would be the result of a private prosecution.
Mr Kramer's social media comment was directed at the Minister for Communications and IT, Sam Basil.
Mr Basil told PNG's Post Courier that he would have Mr Kramer charged and arrested under the Cybercrime Act.
However PNG's clerk of parliament Vela Konivaro told Dominic Godfrey there were no grounds for a criminal case.
