O'neill: I won't quit
PRIME Minister Peter O’Neill said calls by Kerenga Kua, Don Polye and others for him to resign are self serving.“Kerenga Kua and Don Polye have no mandate to make that call.
I was man-dated by the people to be the head of this government,” Mr O’Neill said at the week-end. “If Kerenga or Polye wants the mandate, they have to earn it from the people at the polls or Parliament.“It is self-serving.
All issues Kerenga is raising to justify his call are decisions of the Cabinet, not by one man, and he knows that.”“Polye’s bantering is nothing new. He’s been doing that since I decommissioned him as minister.”He said Mr Kerenga and Mr Polye were allowing their emotions to influence their outbursts.
“Kerenga and others mak-ing these calls must know that I do not have any intention to resign.”On Sir Michael Somare’s call (on Radio New Zealand) for him to step aside, the Prime Minister said this mess was created during his(Somare’s time) and he was only cleaning it up when politics took a turn for the worse.
