PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, August 11, 2014) – Hagen MP William Duma, who was sacked as petroleum minister, has returned to cabinet as a new minister in a minor reshuffle announced by PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill last Friday.
Mr Duma, Leader of United Resource Party (URP), was sworn in by Governor-General Sir Michael Ogio at Government House as new Minister for Transport.
Mr Duma, together with Triumph Heritage Empowerment (THE) Party Leader and Kandep MP Don Polye, were sacked earlier this year over what the Prime Minister described as causing instability in government.
