People have lost trust in Somare

There is a need to analyse the political deve­lopment and governance over the past nine years when the Somare government was in charge.
We should stop pointing fingers at who is right and wrong.
We must find out why the majority of the people have lost confidence in Sir Michael Somare.
There are many but chief among them are a lack of decisive leadership, too many people in acting positions, appalling social and economic indicators, billions of kina allocated for development but nothing to show, allegations of corruption and a lack of transparency.
When Peter O’Neill took over as prime minister, he offered an alternative and decisive leadership which won over the people.
Although the judiciary has reinstated Sir Michael as prime minister, the le­gislative arm of government, elected Peter O’Neill as prime minister in parliament.
