Being Prime Minister is not a birthright, and running a government is not a private business, it belongs to the people of PNG through the body of leaders in Parliament," Prime Minister James Marape said. The Prime Minister said in response to social media posts by people who become seasonal and tropical experts on every matter, including a vote of no confidence (VONC) motion. "When it is Covid time, we all are Covid and vaccine specialists, when it is Kumul or Hunters playing, we think we can do better then the Kumul coach or players, when it is economy, every body and all those who think they know everything speak on economy and tax matters. When it is on corruption, we all speak on it without serious reporting convictions and on politics we think we know it better then those in the arena," Mr Marape said. Despite all the social media posts by some spinmeisters who think they know everything, the Prime Minister said he is not afraid of anything, not even a vote of no-confidence motion, he is only afraid of God. "To show you all that I do not fear anything on 2024, including VONC, I give you all a free clue. Instead of adjourning for the first sitting of Parliament earlier then February 9, 2024, or much later after this date, we adjourn Parliament to February 13, 2024. "VONC period is live from February 9, 2024 to August 9, 2026, in between we will be doing work and MPs will assess my performance as I assess theirs as we work for PNG," he said. Mr Marape said in 2020 he survived an attempted VONC when one third of MPs left his coalition the morning after they passed the historic ICAC Bill his government sponsored into law. "Government is not my private business - it belongs to our people through the body of leaders in Parliament. It is provided under section 145 of our Constitution where elected leaders keep in check the executive government and it is within their domain and not for seasonal experts and most who have vested interests." He said PNG was introduced into the 1980s with a first VONC when the country was only five-years old and since then governments have changed every two years (1982 Somare, 1985 Wingti, 1987 Wingti, 1988 Namaliu, 1992 Wingti, 1995 Sir J, 1997 Skate and 1999 Mekere). "No wonder former PM PW did mention on his last term in Parliament that he was busy keeping MPs happy than running the country. "Well, I will be running the country until my time is up. "I fear no one except God and our people. My MPs are my colleagues, I am their equal as MPs and it is within their rights to associate with my administration or leave me," he said.
