Description
Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister James Marape was sworn in for a second term Tuesday, after an election hit by violence and alleged corruption that also ended a five-year absence of women in parliament. Marape won support from a majority of members in the Pacific island nation's newly elected parliament.In a wide-ranging first speech to the new parliament, he reiterated his pledge to make Papua New Guinea the "richest black Christian nation on Earth" and welcomed the unanimous parliamentary vote that secured his leadership. "We are one, one people, one country, one nation," Marape said. "And I just want to appreciate the fact that today, the parliament came in total unison."
