Gulf Governor Sir Chris Haiveta has announced his immediate departure from the Marape-led government and joined the Opposition in significant pollical move this afternoon.
In a fiery statement released today, Sunday August 18th, by Haiveta in a press conference in Port Moresby, which had the Opposition members present, Haiveta cited a “total breakdown in party leadership” and a “catalogue of failures” under Prime Minister James Marape as the reasons behind his departure.
Among the numerous issues highlighted by Sir Haiveta is the Gulf BDG (Business Development Grant) saga, which he described as an eye-opener to the “unprincipled actions” under Marape’s leadership.
He pointed out that Marape had compromised his values, and the Prime Minister’s actions were no longer aligned with the reasons that initially brought him to power in 2019. For more information on this listen to today’s 6 pm news.
