Give Me News Vanuatu's, Port-Vila (2024)

To All LPV Party Suppoters.

Sapose ino Vanuatu mi no kam wan Leader/MP:

Hemi time blong kivim back long Vanuatu.

I would like to inform the LPV Party suppoters and the people of Vanuatu of my reasons for declining a ministry in the Vanuatu Government.

I turned down the offer to allow for members of my party to serve as Minister.

The decision was made in order for me to offer my experience to provide training and coaching to MPs to ensure they serve the nation well.

I am calling on older politicians to do the same.

One of the reasons why there is always instability in Vanuatu politics is because the same people are given a ministerial position - in different governments - and other young MPs are never given the opportunity to serve in a ministerial position.

A leader creates opportunity for his followers to come up.

Leaders put their ambition and ego aside for the good of the nation. This is what I am doing.

It is not the first time I have declined a senior position within government because I believe training and advising younger MPs is far more important.

We need to prioritise getting our economy on track, on climate change, or better health care and education and on fixing the national airline.

We cannot do that by constantly changing leadership. We need to teach our MPs to put Vanuatu and its people first and I am proud to be a leader by setting this example.

Thank you former PM Alatoi Ishmael Kalsakau for showing true leadership by giving opportunities to your MPs. Current PM Salwai you had also display the same leadership qualities.

I hope to counsel and train any politician that is interested in diplomacy, in advocacy and in standing up for what’s right.

I hope my decision to guide others from the backbench will set a precedent. I hope others will join me in taking a stand for stability for the good of the country.

It is time Vanuatu had true leadership.

Frequent Changes in Leadership:

Vanuatu has a history of frequent changes in leadership through motions of no-confidence. This instability is often attributed to the fragmented nature of the political parties and shifting allegiances among MPs.

Political instability can have a wide range of negative effects on a country, including economic, social, and political problems. Here are some of the main problems that arise from political instability:

Economic instability: Political instability can lead to economic instability, which can result in reduced foreign investment, decreased economic growth, and increased poverty. Instability often causes investors to hesitate or leave the country, which can result in decreased employment opportunities and a decline in the country's economy.
Social unrest: Political instability often leads to social unrest and protests, which can sometimes turn violent. This can result in damage to public property, loss of life, and a general sense of fear and insecurity among the population.

Poor governance: Political instability can lead to poor governance, corruption, and a lack of accountability. Political leaders may be more concerned with maintaining their power rather than making decisions that benefit the country as a whole.

Political polarization: When political instability persists for a long time, it can lead to political polarization and divisions within society. This can make it difficult for political leaders to reach a consensus and make decisions that benefit the country.

International isolation: Political instability can lead to international isolation, which can make it difficult for a country to engage in trade and diplomatic relations with other countries. This can lead to a further decline in the country's economy and overall well-being.

Overall, political instability is a significant challenge for any country, and addressing it requires strong leadership, accountability, and a commitment to democratic principles.

Vanuatu's prime minister Sato Kilman has been voted out through a motion-of-no-confidence in the country's parliament this afternoon in Port Vila.

The motion was carried by a show of hands, with 27 votes, in the absence of the government bench which had vacated the floor in protest ahead of the motion being moved.

Charlot Salwai was then nominated as the sole candidate for prime minister and was duly-elected by secret ballot with 29 votes in the absence again of the MPs on the other side of the house.

Salwai was previously prime minister from February 2016 up until the general election in 2020.

Immediately after the vote Salwai took his oath and was installed as the new prime minister of the Republic of Vanuatu.

In his acceptance speech Salwai apologised to the Vanuatu public for the ongoing "political crises" which have seen four prime ministers elected now in the the space of three years.

He also thanked police for keeping the peace and thanked citizens for respecting the law and each other.

Salwai, who is the leader of the Reunification Movement for Change Party, thanked all of the MPs who voted for him and in particular the leaders of the three major political parties in this coalition government; Ishmael Kalsakau Ma'aukoro from the Union of Moderate Parties, Jotham Napat of the Leaders Party and Ralph Regenvanu of the Graon Mo Jastis Party.

Salwai says Vanuatu is facing many challenges economically, socially and environmentally with climate change, and he acknowledged the added impacts that political instability were having on local businesses and society at large.

"It has not yet been 12 months since the initial establishment of the government of honourable Ma'aukoro which he led following the snap election in October of 2022 yet today is the second time that we have changed the government," Salwai said speaking in Bislama.

"I say sorry to the last government but we exist in this system of democracy where when the weight of the number of members moves to one side a change of government follows."

Following the prime minister's speech Parliament was adjourned until 8:30am next Tuesday 10 October.

And it's ended by Game over

The recently appointed Minister of Tourism, Trade, Industry, Commerce and Ni-Vanuatu Business, MP Samson Samsen, has submitted his resignation letter from the role in under 10 days since his appointment.

MP Samsen, a member of the Vanua'aku Pati, was also a signatory to the No Confidence motion against Prime Minister Ishmael Kalsakau.

In his resignation letter dated August 14, 2023, the MP for Santo Rural expressed his regret as he announced his decision to step down.

He cited a resolution from his Regional Executive in Santo as the basis for his decision, indicating that they wanted him to align with the majority group to uphold parliamentary stability.

The motion will be debated at 2PM today.
