Opposition early to Chamber as government MPs absent for Parliament opening
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported6m ago
The second week of the Papua New Guinea Parliament sitting faced an immediate disruption at its scheduled 10:00 AM opening when government members were absent from the chamber. Due to the lack of attendance, Deputy Speaker and Member for Markham Koni Iguan adjourned the session until the next ringing of the bell.
Despite the government absence and subsequent adjournment, the opposition was present early in the chamber. Parliament business later turned to scrutinizing the state-owned utility PNG Power Ltd, with MPs questioning the government's plans to resurrect the company following Prime Minister James Marape's characterization of the utility as being in stage 4 cancer.
