parliamentary secretary

The Opposition accused the government of using the appointment of Parliamentary Secretaries to prop up their support and effectively become a majority.

Opposition Leader Ishmael Kalsakau said it was against the spirit of the Constitution and against the rights of MPs.

He welcomed the latest ruling, calling it 'a victory for the people of Vanuatu.'

The appointee will serve alongside the prime minister on international relations.

The Government through the Minister of Lands, Ralph Regenvanu has confirmed a ceremony is scheduled for 4pm today where PM Charlot Salwai will be making appointments of the Parliamentary Secretary and some parliamentary posts.
