Bishops say let Michael Somare retire gracefully

Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister, Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare must be allowed to retire gracefully from politics, and not be forced out. This is the view of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference in Port Moresby, following the recent announcement of the Somare family’s intention to have their father retire from politics on medical grounds. General Secretary Father Victor Roche said Sir Michael has done a lot for the country and should be accorded the respect he deserves.
