Andrew Baing
Andrew Baing is a Papua New Guinean politician. He served as Deputy Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea in November 2003 under Prime Minister Michael Somare, before being sacked in less than a month for not supporting the government's proposed changes to the constitution.[1][2] He was the leader of the People's Progress Party from October 2003 to December 2003, succeeding Allan Marat, and preceding Paul Tiensten.[3] He was member of parliament for Markham Open Electorate.[4] In 2005, the Ombudsman Commission alleged misconduct by Baing, including that he had misappropriated tens of thousands of dollars in 2002, and referred him to the Public Prosecutor.[5] In 2006, a leadership tribunal found Baing guilty of misconduct.[6]
