Prime Minister (PM) James Marape is expected to present in the upcoming parliament session details of his government’s performance and achievements over the past five years and strategies going forward in achieving his government’s objects. The prime minister recently announced that he will present a comprehensive scorecard detailing his government’s achievements over the past five years. This report, scheduled for presentation to Parliament on May 30th, 2024, will outline the progress made since his term began on May 30th, 2019. Reflecting on his government's term, PM Marape highlighted the initial challenges faced upon taking office. “When I assumed the role of Prime Minister, our nation was grappling with numerous critical issues," he stated. “These included a frail economy overly reliant on extractive industries, poor macroeconomic fundamentals unable to sustain growth, a dysfunctional public service, and misalignment between national, provincial, and district development authorities with respect to the national development plan,” Marape said. Additionally, he said unresolved final political and economic issues in Bougainville, along with widespread lawlessness and corruption, posed significant hurdles for his government. “These were some of the formidable challenges we inherited and have diligently worked to address over the past five years.” On May 30th, Marape will provide a detailed account to Parliament on the government’s actions and strategies over the past five years and discuss future directions for national progress. "The country is greater than any individual like me and every citizen deserves to know the outcomes of our efforts through this scorecard," he concluded.
