In addition, he said Marape was begging the United Nations General Secretary in front of a global audience. That was, he said, for them to seriously look at assisting PNG and smaller Pacific Island nations.

Further, he said Marape justified his begging that they are struggling with economic depression at this time.

Mr Marape’s Foreign Minister Soroi Eoe told the United Nations General Assembly in 2019 that he would deliver the world’s richest black Christian nation by 2030. That was two years ago.

Namah

“He should have set the legal, social and economic foundations to deliver on his dream. It is now that he has just eight more years to deliver it.

“Instead, he is unashamedly going before the same Forum begging for deliverance. Is he even aware of what he is doing or saying? People have long memories. They keep records. They will remember our bold statement.  https://pngsun.com/amp/2020/05/29/namah-plans-to-file-slip-rule-application-against-case-dismissal/

“We are all being made a laughing stock as a country by the thoughtless words and actions of our own Prime Minister.

PM MARAPE CALLED ON TO FIX ECONOMY 

“I urge the Prime Minister to leave all outside engagements to his minister. He should now concentrate on managing the country out of the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Other issues at our door step are the collapse of the economy and the worsening crime situation in our country.

“He should be starting up impact projects and creating jobs instead of shutting down projects, chasing away direct foreign investments and locking down the economy.
