It is becoming apparent that questions on the
floor of parliament are not producing results. It is becoming apparent
that the packaging and sale of prime land in PNG is becoming a reality
and is in fact becoming a frenzied effort by those who do not care for
this nation and its future and their friends and cronies. It is becoming
increasingly apparent that affirmative action is looking a more
convincing effort if we are to save our land and our future. Land
grabbing is a world-wide phenomenon perpetrated by corporate interests and
ignored or facilitated by governments supposedly elected to protect the
very people they are instead helping to marginalize.
MUST WE ALL WATCH AND DO NOTHING!?
If the news that Jack Pidik Park, a recreational
portion of land has been sold is true, then we are seeing yet another
example of the marginalization of our people and our future. I for one
am tired of raising questions that go ignored, writing letters that are
not acknowledged and holding meetings where rhetoric and false
assurances flow forth seemingly endlessly like the open sewerage in
some of our streets. Let us start naming the individuals involved. Which
lands officers was responsible??
WHICH LANDS BOARD CHAIRMAN WAS
RESPONSIBLE?? WHO AGREED TO THIS TERRIBLE ACT OF INCONSIDERATION
TOWARDS OUR PEOPLE??? CAN WE IDENTIFY THEM AND TREAT THEM LIKE THE
BETRAYERS AND TRAITORS THAT THEY ARE??!
THIS IS TANTAMOUNT TO TREASON!??!
IF WE SAY AND DO NOTHING THIS WILL GO ON
AND ON!!
IN ORO TWO LANDS OFFICIALS ALMOST GOT AWAY
WITH THIS UNTIL WE NAMED THEM, CONTACTED THEM AND ADVISED THEM THAT
THEY ARE COMING TO ORO AT THEIR OWN RISK!! THE PROCESS WAS HALTED!!! WE
ARE NOW GOING TO TAKE BACK OUR LAND WHETHER THEY PAID MONEY OR NOT,
WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT!!
IT CAN BE DONE!! NAME THESE CHARACTERS AND DEAL
WITH THEM!! TELL THEM DIRECTLY THAT THEY HAVE BETRAYED THE 7
MILLION SHAREHOLDERS OF PNG AND MUST THEREFORE FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!!
IN ORO I AM WARNING ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS
FROM HEAD QUARTERS WHO TRAVEL TO ORO TO FACILITATE FRAUD AND CORRUPTION
TO BE MINDFUL WHEN THEY COME THERE. IF THEY ARE CAUGHT, THEY WILL
BE DEALT WITH BY THE PEOPLE AND I WILL BACK MY PEOPLE UP 100%!!!
EVERY PROVINCE MUST DO THE SAME!! DEMAND
YOUR GOVERNORS TO DO SO!!! ENOUGH OF FLOWERY MEETINGS AND
CONFERENCES AND COMMITTEES AND TASK FORCES THAT DO NOTHING WHILE
OUR COUNTRY IS BEING PACKAGED AND SOLD!!
START BEING AFFIRMATIVE AND LET US TAKE
BACK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS!!
I totally agree with the Honorable Governor. The sale or transfer of our recreational land, the Jack Pidik oval needs to be taken further. The lands officials for goodness sake gave the land to a company which has stores in almost all surburbs in the city. But look at how they look after those shops and their periperals. These shops are a total disgrace and eye sore in the city. After having said this, I suggest that we now use PEOPLE POWER. We must take to the streets to take back Jack Pidik Park. The National Government should be pressed to pass legislation retrospective to reclaim all reserve lands nationwide sold illegally.
ReplyDeleteHon Governor,
ReplyDeleteI agree corruption is becomeing a norm, questionable pracitices become visible and sin is watered down to be acceptable BECAUSE GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING.
That is PNGs problem those who know wrong is committed and let it happen are equally at fault.
We only raise up after the effect, that is too late.
I totally agree with you Hon Govenor we need to question this aquisition if wrong doing was done must be corrected, however I also worry it may be too late.
