Vanuatu govt has not met people's expectations - Koanapo

From , 5:04 am on 10 February 2020

A former member of Vanuatu's coalition government says it hasn't met the expectations people had of them. 

The country is preparing to go to the polls in March, four years after the Charlot Salwai-led coalition came to power in a snap election, promising expansive reforms to bring political stability. 

But Johnny Koanapo, who was part of that coalition until his Vanua'aku Pati was reshuffled out of cabinet last year, says while there has been stability, a lot of promises weren't met.
