leader

Carcasses handed over the leadership reins of the VGC to Silas Yatan on 15 September according to a report by the Vanuatu Daily Post.

Carcasses was among the 14 former Members of Parliament (MPs) who were jailed in 2016 for bribery charges.

After he was released in October 2017, he decided to resign from politics. In an unforeseen turn, after the President of the VGC vacated his seat, he took back the presidency shortly after in mid 2018.

Pastor Fiama Rakau has been described as a tireless advocate for ending violence in Vanuatu.

“He used his deep Christian faith to help men understand the effects of violence in their homes, take responsibility for their actions, and develop healthy relationship skills. Rest In Peace, Pastor.”

“You have left many hearts and hands behind that will carry on the work that you began, World Vision Vanuatu said.

Pastor Rakau passed away Saturday morning.
