O'Neill's PNC Party accepts PM Marape's decision to sack its Members from govt

Statement 

The People’s National Congress Party accepts that it is the prerogative of any sitting Prime Minister to decide on who should be a Minister in their Cabinet.

Political arrangements are not for convenience but for the good and interest of our people and country in the hope that they will be provided with good governance.

It is regrettable that PNC Ministers and Members have been subject of intense political intimidation and pressure over the past six months, and this is simply because they have expressed honest and frank views about where we are heading in terms economic management and development of the country.

The People’s national Congress is the party that was mandated by the people in the 2017 elections, and through our co-ordination and consultation, PNC is the party that gave Mr. Marape the numbers to form his Government.

It was this confidence in our capacity that made Mr. Marape move out of Laguna to the Grand Papua Hotel so that we could build the numbers for him to form Government.

James Marape would not be Prime Minister today if PNC did not bring together the grand coalition that voted for him.

PNC is also the party that trusted and promoted Mr. Marape through the ranks of ministers, and gave him immense authority over the economic governance of our Nation for the past eight years.

He held very senior roles in Government but now he has chosen his path for at least the next year.

In PNC we are humble and we are very forgiving, and we will live with his decisions that allow the people to decide at the next elections.

For now it is incumbent upon this Prime Minister to show leadership and to have the capacity to make solid decisions on important issues and to then have the courage to back up these decisions.

The time for the blame game is over, his Government has been in place for nearly half a year and he must start to move beyond the mess of political instability that he created.

Hon. Peter O’Neill, CMG, MP
Leader, People’s National Congress Party
