TIME FOR ACTION WITH DYSFUNCTIONAL PNG
The Australian rocking chair brigade is out in force on Jackson blog PNG Attitude quoting Greek philosophers to solve the problems of PNG. Please click:
What should Australia do? What can Australia do?
There is not a practical idea among them.
Let us go back to the Somare 10 Point Plan of the 1970s and polish that up a little with a few modern ideas.
The problem is that there is no national accountability. Whatever is not nailed down can be stolen. The rocking chair brigade says the problem is tribal. We call that stating the bloody obvious.
This is a soft touch nation. This country is decentralized into provinces. The officers in the provinces are laws unto themselves where money is concerned.
Make DSIP funds accountable. Make each politician account for equal distribution across the province.
Have a national plan for roads, bridges, wharves, airports and more.
Have each politician submit a plan for expenditure based on the national plan before receiving the DSIP funds.
The politicians' plans should be published in the media and left open for comments by citizens.
Acquittal follows the same path of promised work completed and pending.
Have banks account for all monies placed in accounts and sent overseas. Require car owners to account for the money spent on buying expensive vehicles.
This is a soft touch country.
Such large scale thefts in China by politicians and bureaucrats would be accompanied by mass executions in the football stadium. But that can not be done here.
This is a Christian soft touch country.
Surely Plato the ancient Greek philosopher would support this proposal.
He is a father of democracy having written on the relationship between Government and citizens.
Democracy is a greek word derived from "demos" the people and "crasis" rule.
But so many politicians will not allow accountability to take hold. It will affect both their past and future corruption.
