PNG PM Marape Hopeful on Pangu Party Forming Next Government
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape (pictured) says Pangu Pati expects to consolidate the formation of the next government with more MPs joining it’s camp.
Last night the media confirmed that Treasurer Ian Ling- Stuckey and Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology Minister Wesley Raminai were joining Pangu.
A National Alliance official also confirmed the two MPs’ defection from their camp but advised they had yet to receive an official advice.
An announcement is expected to be made when Pangu Pati holds its Convention on April 26, two days before the issue of election writs.
In his final message to the 10th Parliament last night, Mr Marape said he was privileged to have young vibrant leaders that contributed immensely to generational change in leadership.
He spoke highly of the achievements of his government in the last three years, especially with the help of those young leaders.
“We would not have achieved our milestones and prudently managed the economy without the unequivocal bipartisan support from this Parliament, including the caliber of young leaders which I am privileged to count as members of our government,” PM Marape said.
“I have maintained all along that the generational change in leadership has brought about innovative and transformational ideas that are geared towards improving our livelihoods and ensuring we take giant steps to realise our collective developmental aspirations.
“This has been a government of change, deeply committed to initiating policy and legislative reforms to ensure our people benefit from our development priorities and outcomes, as enshrined in the Eight-Point Plan and National Constitution.
“These important directives have been further translated to the formulation of the PNG Vision 2050, Medium Term Development Plans, and Sectoral and Integrated Provincial and District Development Plans, which now serve as our guidepost in developing our own reforms.
“The theme; ‘STABLE GOVERNMENT INVESTING IN INCLUSIVE BROAD-BASED GROWTH’ is relevant to our cause, as it clearly resonates with our government’s initiatives, development priorities and deliverables under the ‘Loloata Outcomes’ to create a conducive, stable and enabling environment to implement broad-based economic growth initiatives.
“It is a renewal of our development approaches in the way we conduct business now and into the future.
We encourage any government to maintain continuity in these initiatives and development priorities.
“We are indeed proud to say that the key policy and legislative reforms of this government have been translated into measurable outcomes that are here to stay and can be carried over by future governments.”
