Former Minister for Infrastructure Development, MP for East Malaita Manasseh Maelanga has called on MPs in GNUT government to make up their mind and leave.
This is the right decision, and only through that they can resolve issues they continue to feel discontent about under the current leadership, he said.
In light of that, the 10 MPs had made up the decision to resign from their ministerial portfolios and left government, a hard decision to make, Maelanga said.
But they did so, according to Maelanga, for the good of the country.
He said there were reasons to desert GNUT government and above all, their loss of confidence on the current regime.
Maelanga told media yesterday that sometimes in the recent past, a petition was submitted by the government group to the Prime Minister.
He added within the petition requests were made for PM Jeremiah Manele to dialogue with some of the government ministers on concerning issues, but nothing happened.
“This shows weak leadership,” Maelanga said.
He furthered that some colleagues on the government side were also not happy about it, “but they still sit down there”.
“They don’t have the guts to move,” Maelanga said while acknowledged them as leaders, but for 10 of them, they had made their decision to leave GNUT government.
“I call on them to make up their mind,” he said.
