ENGA Governor Peter Ipatas has called for calm and for people to allow the process to take its course in relation to the referral of the Prime Minister to face a leadership tribunal.
Mr Ipatas, who is a veteran politician, having served all his time as provincial politician and almost 20 years in Parliament, called on the people, especially politicians, not to create instability over the current issue. "The Ombudsman as we know has made the referral to the prosecutor and who has now referred the matter to the CJ to set up a leadership tribunal," Mr Ipatas stated. "I want to state that all of us in this nation realise now how important it is to have stability, how important it is to have good leadership and as such I call on all our people and all our politicians to have patience and allow the processes to continue. "There is no need for anybody to suggest that the Prime Minister should step aside because as we know in the recent past, Sir Michael Somare through the tribunal was allowed to continue in office and that is a matter that the tribunal will make at its own discretion," Mr Ipatas said. "As leaders we must refrain from making any statement on this issue because we have enjoyed strong leadership over the last three years, a very vibrant leadership by the Prime Minister and speaking from my position as the governor of the province, I must say that we have never seen development in the province at the pace that it is going now and I am sure that all other districts and provinces are the same. "In NCD we see evidence of a lot of infrastructure development because of the 2015 Pacific games and these are all happening because we have a stable government and a good Prime Minister in Peter O’Neill."
