James Marape
Prime Minister Marape reflected: “In 1975, I was in remote Nomad River (about 100 kilometres from Ok Tedi Mine in Western Province). That time, I ate no rice, knew no English, slept in no electricity-fired house, walking was my mode of travel, and today almost 50 years on we are conversing in a modern auditorium, speaking English and like minds meeting together. This is the journey of my life and this is the journey that my country has been through.” (in “PM JAMES MARAPE ELUCIDATES GOVERNMENT FOCUS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND PROSPERITY“}
