Papua New Guinea's suspended assistant police commissioner says recent comments by the Attorney General were reckless and could be viewed as perverting the course of justice.

On Monday, Ano Pala, who was appointed Attorney General last month, said there was nothing illegal in payments made by the state to Paraka Lawyers.
The announcement came amidst a scandal over an arrest warrant issued for the Prime Minister, Peter O'Neill, over his alleged role in the payments to the law firm.
But Thomas Eluh, who was the lead investigator into the high-profile corruption case, says the comments were reckless and discussing matters that are under police investigation or before the courts could be seen as perverting the course of justice.
