PM Marape Praises UPNG Students for Their Mature and Responsible Approach in Addressing Important National Issues


Prime Minister Hon. James Marape has praised the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) Student Representative Council (SRC) for their mature and responsible approach in addressing important national issues.

The students recently raised concerns about the 2025 Amendment to Section 145 of the Constitution, the National Executive Council (NEC) Amendment Act 2025, and the Counter-Terrorism Act 2024. Prime Minister Marape acknowledged their democratic right to question these laws and highlighted the importance of student voices in strengthening good governance and democracy.

“I commend the students for their maturity and commitment to addressing these issues in a peaceful and intellectual manner. The approach they have taken to seek a Supreme Court review through the Ombudsman Commission demonstrates their respect for constitutional processes. The court is a fair place for all grievances to be resolved, and their petitioning for clarity on whether these laws are in the country’s best interest is welcomed,” Prime Minister Marape stated.

He clarified that the three laws are not designed to give excessive power to one person, as some critics have claimed. Instead, they aim to improve governance and national security.

“The PM and NEC Amendment Act 2025, for example, is designed to enhance transparency, good governance, and due process. Its purpose is to ensure that the National Executive Council operates effectively and responsibly, promoting democracy instead of concentrating power within one office,” he added.
