The Member for Yangoru-Saussia and Minister for National Planning, Richard Maru, says there is no need for a vote of no confidence (VONC), which is being planned by the Opposition.
In a press conference held today with the Wewak MP and Minister for Inter-Government Relations, Kevin Isifu, Maru said the people of Yangoru-Saussia district have seen tangible development and services reach them for the first time under this People’s National Congress-led government.
“As far as I am concerned, there is no need for a vote of no confidence because there is no justification to warrant one against the current government led by Peter O’Neill,” he stated.
“We are not eating bones anymore. I want to make it clear to the people of East Sepik that we will stand up for the transformation of our province. I will rise and fall with this O’Neill-led government.”
Sharing similar sentiments, Minister Isifu said for the first time, the country has a performing government.
“The people of Wewak are not interested in politics, we are interested in services.
“After a long time, we now see improvements in Wewak and this Government is still setting up and embarking on major reforms.
“My challenge to the Opposition is, what options and alternatives do you have to change the country?”
