Prime Minister Loses Job Over Absenteeism
Published by MoonDog on December 2, 2009
The Prime Minister of the tiny Pacific island nation of Vanuatu is out of a job because he didn’t hand in a note explaining his absences.
Prime Minister Edward Natapei lost his seat after failing to notify the speaker of the house that he could not attend parliament, even though he was out of the country on official business.
To retain his seat, Natapei needed only to hand in a signed explanation for his absence.
The now ex-Prime Minister was rushing back from a summit this weekend, while his Cabinet hastily convened for emergency talks.
The island nation will have a caretaker government until the parliament elects a prime minister next week.
