PRIME Minister Sir Michael Somare is recovering gradually in Singapore, according to acting Prime Minister Sam Abal.

However, he said he could not comment much on his condition and how fast the East Sepik regional MP would recover.
Abal said Sir Michael’s doctors were in a better position to provide these information and when he would be fit to travel back home.
