#PNG #CORRUPTION #MISMANAGEMENT: #Oro Governor, Gary #Juffa, writes on the duties/role of government, and what is NOT being done by those currently in office. QUOTE: Year in year out, the cost of living increases, the taxes remain the same and our so called growing economy, seems not to be for our benefit. Life is actually becoming intolerable for many. Seeking better life, fearing for their lives and that of their families, many flock to urban centres already overloaded, the creaking and aging infrastructure built to accommodate a fraction of the population now teeming and weighing down on it, unable to cope. Dilapidated and deteriorating rural stations and districts are rapidly crumbling and people, find ways to get out and hope for a better life. Instead more bitterness and hopelessness and often pain and sometimes death awaits them. [...] We see decisions that are NOT in the best interests of the people made in haste and with blinding speed. So fast, that while the people are very much unaware and often bewildered, the decision has been made and suddenly the results are manifested in an ugly presentation that leaves the people anxious and feeling hopeless, dejected, unheard and bitter. [...] On the one hand, decisions that are NOT in the best interests of PNG are made in haste with no consultation and we are forced to accept and pay the price, whatever that may be. On the other hand, decisions made to improve our lives and give us dignity and pride and save us, yes, save our lives, are dragged down the garden path, they are not even considered, they are apparently irrelevant to those who could make the difference, it’s as if, we are not important, not people, not existing….but we are…Papua New Guinea…. /QUOTE
