After so many
years since the last women got elected into Nauru Parliament, today another
historical day in Nauru, Mrs. Charmaine Scotty has made her way into the 21st Parliament of Nauru by winning a landslide victory over Dr. Keiren
Keke who came second and Mr. Dominic Tabuna whom she ousted at this June 2013
General Election.
Mrs. Scotty’s victory over the two favourite candidates in Yaren Mr. Keke and Mr. Tabuna gives new hope for all the women in Nauru to start stepping up. Mrs. Scotty prior to running for a seat in parliament was a Permanent Secretary under the Public Service.
She has been managing several departments as permanent and acting HOD,
almost across the public services including Sports, Transport,
Telecommunications, Media, Commerce, Industry and Environment, Women’s Affairs,
Foreign Affairs etc.
Her appointment to parliament marks a new chapter for all women in Nauru
to start stepping up and represent all women in high offices and especially
parliament. Mrs. Charmaine Scotty is no stranger to the challenges the country
is facing, as she's been part of the process since the reform. Congratulations to Mrs. Charmaine Scotty.
