Nauru issues a deportation order
Mr. Dennis Ferrier, Secretary for Finance in the Republic of Nauru since independence, has left Nauru as a result of a de portation order issued against him.
President Hammer Deßoburt, of Nauru, confirmed existence of the order in Sydney in December. President Deßoburt said Cabinet issued the deporta tion order because it decided it was “not in the best interests of the republic that Mr. Ferrier remain”.
He said this was one of the three grounds on which the republic could issue an order.
An order could also be made against certain convicted persons, or against undesirable aliens.
President Deßoburt would give no further details about Mr.
Ferrier’s departure.
Mr. Ferrier, who has a wife and son, carries a British pass port. He took up his Nauru post in February, 1968.
