It was Judge Oliver Saksak who overturned the former speaker of parliament's move to pardon himself and 13 other MPs of bribery charges in late 2015.
He said the sentences for these MPs, some of whom also received further jail time for the subsequent conspiracy convictions, set a standard of accountability.
Justic Saksak said these and later convictions had helped reduce corruption among MPs, as well as abuse of public office.
