Five MPs Resign from Papua New Guinea Government
In a startling turn of events, five Members of Parliament hailing from the Southern Region of Papua New Guinea (PNG) have tendered their resignations, marking a significant upheaval in the political landscape. The domino effect commenced with the departure of Keith Iduhu and has now engulfed Sir Puka Temu, James Donald, David Arorre, and Mason Hewabi in its wake.
Sir Puka Temu, representing Abau and leading the Development Party, along with James Donald, the North Fly representative and leader of the People First Party, have joined forces with David Arorre (Inivitari) and Mason Hewabi (Middle Fly) in relinquishing their governmental roles.
This wave of resignations follows the earlier departure of James Nomane, the Chuave representative, who stepped down from his position.
In a jointly issued statement, the departing MPs conveyed their loss of confidence in Prime Minister James Marape's leadership. The statement underscored the ongoing turmoil, destruction, and civil unrest in Port Moresby as pivotal factors eroding their trust in the current administration.
The MPs emphasized that both Port Moresby and the Southern Region have borne the brunt of Prime Minister Marape's leadership, characterizing it as an assault on the city and the region at large.
In a concerted plea, the resigning MPs are encouraging their counterparts from the Southern Region's parliamentary contingent to follow suit and resign from the government. They contend that uniting in this action is imperative for restoring order and stability to the nation.
This collective resignation amplifies the escalating dissatisfaction within the government, and the rallying call for a unified front against the existing leadership introduces a new dynamic to Papua New Guinea's political terrain.
