'Dmarque' pid='26729' datel Wrote:Can someone clarify for me who Duma answers to? Is it O' Neil? Isn't his position a cabinet post provided by Duma or is it an independently elected position? Under what protective mantle does he speak on behalf of the nation of PNG? Is there nobody who can curb his clearly obvious graft infected position in regards to the future of PNG and it's underlying commodity assets?
Any clarification of just how he might be extricated would be greatly appreciated.
Dmarque, in a parliamentary system a minister serves at the pleasure of the prime minister. Cabinet shuffles are common and some ministers get new porfolios while others get ousted. Duma's party has 10 of the 111 seats in PNG Parliament.
