The newly appointed Minister for Petroleum and Energy Ben Micah says the minor cabinet reshuffle by the Prime Minister is not a surprise to him.
He said all the ministers in the change were aware as they all have been in discussion with the Prime Minister.
“The Prime Minister was in consultation with us all not just last week but long before that and it is he prerogative to make changes,” Micah says.
He added that the industry is now taking charge of something he is yet to fully understand however he is confident he will be guided by the experts in the industry.
He says after a proper hand over of the minister he will announce to the country what he is expected to carry forward.
Micah also says he and other ministers will also deliver what they can and what is realist for the people of Papua New Guniea.
While making this announcement Micah says the William Duma who is now in charge of Public Enterprises and State Investments is a very experienced minister and he is confident of him.
