LUSIBAEA STILL PART OF DCC GOV’T

He says if the Governor-General accepts his resignation, the Ministry of Infrastructure Development portfolio is now vacant.

The GG has already accepted his resignation so that means the post is vacant, only the letter confirms he is still part of the Government. We are yet to receive any advice from the Government House and it has yet to advise the Prime Minister. The assumption is that the GG has received the letter and the other assumption is that the GG has already endorsed it, and if that’s the case then there’s a vacancy in the Ministry of Infrastructure Development for a Minister.”

Meanwhile, Private Secretary to the Governor-General, Nigel Maezama confirms, the Governor General Sir Frank Kabui has accepted Mr. Lusibaea’s resignation this morning.

“The Governor-General has accepted his resignation and in this case, he resigned as the Minister of Infrastructure Development. We’ve received the letter yesterday afternoon and His Excellency has written back this morning to accept his resignation.”
