After retaining the country’s top post on the floor of parliament Thursday, Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James has assured the country that the Marape-Rosso government remains committed.
He said the government stands ready to address issues in the country and looking forward to contributing meaningfully to the country’s development.
The prime minister urged members of Parliament including the members of the Opposition, public servants, civil society, and others to work together and serve the people.
“We must work together on solutions, whether as leaders in government, public servants in the workforce, businessmen and women in the private sector, students in schools, or the bulk of our people in the villages.
“We must think PNG first. We must put our country ahead of our interests.
“We must learn to respect the Rule of Law by respecting the rights of our fellow Papua New Guineans and work to the best of our ability in whatever we do to build Papua New Guinea.
“In everything we do, we must think of the kind of society we are leaving behind for our children and grandchildren because of our actions or lack thereof,” Marape said.
He said the Pangu-led Coalition Government remains committed to the fight to better this beautiful country.
“I am more determined than ever to complete the work we have started.
“I acknowledge the input we have received on areas of improvement. We will take them on board.
“We will build. We will get better, become stronger, as we emerge from the economic and political storms of our country,” Marape added.
