Ex-servicemen and women deserve payments

Public servants and others who work under the Government should be compensated well for their efforts. The case between the ex-service men and women and the Government is a classic example of what the Papua New Guinea government has failed miserably to do, to pay the entitlements of the service men according to the law.

The good service men and women in rank and file have served the Government diligently in their time of service and it is proper for the government to thank them for what they have done for the country. It is frustrating and takes too long for the Government to react to what is rightfully theirs to claim by the ex-servicemen for the services they provided during their various terms in public service.

What amazes me is that the ex-service men and women had to take the Government to court to claim what is theirs under the law. While some still wait for their entitlements, others pass along the way and this makes situations difficult for families who have lost their loved ones.

Why give a lot of pain and suffering to the very people who served the government of Papua New Guinea with their entire life?The servicemen and women have dedicated their entire lives to serving the Government of Papua New Guinea and therefore, they should come good on those who leave the government with full entitlements.

New heads vital for change

The Somare-Temu regime need to show the people of Papua New Guinea what tangible developments they have accomplished over the last seven or so years when they were in power. The people have suffered for so long and they need to be reassured of what the National Alliance led-Government has in store for them.

Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare (L) with National Alliance Highlands block leader Don Polye (Center) and Deputy Prime Minister Sir Puka Temu at the press conference yesterday

What has been promised during political rallies from the highlands to the coast has been pure political gimmick and blundering hearsay. It is prevalent to the people that the Government led by NA only knows one thing and that is to make decisions to suit their interests and hidden agendas.

They are just too good for signing deal after deal under the table to lure foreign investors to suit themselves and their cohorts.If the rumours around the corridors of Waigani are true, we need a change of the Government for the better. When good leaders rule, there is stability and the nation is prosperous but when unscrupulous leaders lead, there is confusion and frustrations which ultimately leads to destruction.

Will the Opposition led by Sir Mekere Morauta shed some light on our darkest moments? We could only pray and hope that a new government if formed should serve the best interest of the people of this country.Improve people’s lives, not your own.

'RACE' can make a huge difference if we practice it

RESPECT~ Yourself, others, your property, and others' properties. Your feelings and the feelings of others.

ATTITUDE ~ Attitude is EVERYTHING~ everywhere... all the time. Positive attitudes produce winning performances!

COOPERATE ~ With others. Do the right thing even when it's hard.

EXAMPLE ~ What kind of example are you modeling- a positive one or a negative one. Let your example be the Pace Car for others to emulate.

In places like Papua New Guinea, it's important for us to embrace R.A.C.E. in our livelihoods so that we not only show the positive side of ourselves to others far and wide and those that are around us but also to minimize some of our pressing social issues and political corruption our country is currently facing.
