Papua New Guinea’s new Prime Minister James Marape has given the first indications of the changes his government will be making to the country’s business environment.
National Government
Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister Peter O’Neill announced his resignation yesterday at a press conference in Port Moresby. The announcement followed the defections on Friday of several MPs to the Opposition, which is now claiming sufficient numbers to form government in its own right.
Papua New Guinea’s Parliament looked set to address a motion for a Vote of No Confidence in the O’Neill-Abel Government. However, with Parliament adjourned until late May, exactly when or if a vote will take place is a matter of speculation.
Peter O’Neill has been returned for a second term as Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea by the country’s 10th National Parliament. In his first speech to Parliament, he flagged a continued focus on education, health and infrastructure.
