Vanuatu's prime minister Ham Lini has sacked two political parties from the coalition government for indiscretions by their leaders. The President of the Union of Moderate Parties or UMP Serege Vohor lost his job for allegedly assaulting a ministry of finance official last Friday after complaining about delays in his pay and the People's Progressive Party or PPP led by deputy prime minister Sato Kilman was sacked over allegations of fraud.
