Goi in 2018

Wake Goi (born 6 October 1968) is a Papua New Guinea politician. He was a member of the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea from 2007 to 2012, representing the electorate of Jimi Open.[1][2]

In 2007, he defeated Francis Kunai, who had been the member for the seat since 2002.[3]

In August 2011, Peter O'Neill became Prime Minister in the wake of a parliamentary motion of no confidence in the government of Acting Prime Minister Sam Abal (standing in for Sir Michael Somare while the latter was hospitalised for a heart condition). O'Neill appointed Goi as his Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Constitutional Matters.[4]
