The Vanuatu opposition is calling for the prime minister to resign over allegations his government is selling diplomatic passports.
But the government is vehemently denying the claims, saying it is just another attempt by the opposition to try and discredit it.
The opposition spokesperson, Jeff Batunvanu, says it has information implicating the foreign minister, Edward Natapei, and the director general of foreign affairs, Johnny Koanapo, in the sale of passports.
Mr Batunvanu claims to have correspondence detailing this from Vanuatu's ambassador to the European Union in Brussels.
Mr Batunvanu also claims that Vanuatu's controversial honorary diplomat, Pascal Vu Anh Quan Saken, later repaid money to two people who had given the government money for passports but not received them.
But Mr Natapei has categorically denied the allegations.
Mr Natapei says there has never been any official instruction from him to any official of the ministry or its embassy in Brussels to strike any deal for a passport.
