Pruaitch thanks Opposition for support, role

Posted on The National

OPPOSITION Leader Patrick Pruaitch has thanked his Opposition members for their support and role that led to the resignation of Peter O’Neill yesterday as the prime minister.
Pruaitch said: “I take this opportunity to thank the leaders of various parties that came together in the Opposition camp to force Peter O’Neill to resign. We could not have done it without the serious efforts and sacrifices from everyone.
“I therefore thank James Marape, Sir Puka Temu, William Duma and others in government who joined forces to oust O’Neill. As members of parliament, we cannot be complacent while the O’Neill government causes our people to suffer in our towns and rural communities.
“The people of Papua New Guinea have witnessed the huge expenditure levels of the O’Neill Government and the gradual shrinkage in our economy. Despite the huge increases in revenue between 2014 and 2017, employment opportunities were diminishing as businesses began to shut their doors.
“Forcing the resignation of O’Neill gives the people of Papua New Guinea comfort that our members of parliament truly understand the hardships our people are going through and will nominate a prime minister and a team tomorrow that will do its best to deliver on the promises of better economic management, restoring confidence into our system of government, committing itself to improving law and order and reforming and resetting service delivery to our people.
“I thank the public in Port Moresby today (yesterday) for keeping calm and following the important event take place in Parliament.”
