On reading the writings of Martyn Namarong on PNG Attitude, I feel we are going around in circles.
He has the same view over and over about corrupt politicians who do not look after the electorate.
He is giving problems without solutions - just polemics. We know what he is saying as many of us have the same view. So what is new Martyn?
Our blog is far in advance of Namarong .
We have detailed plans on accountability of DSIP funds and a national plan for development of infrastructure. Please click:
PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPING NATIONS
WEAKNESS IN THE SYSTEM OF CONTROL
TIME FOR ACTION WITH DYSFUNCTIONAL
PNG NATIONAL PLANNING: MONEY
ACCOUNTABILITY IS THE KEY
Does Martyn not understand the only way to make politicians change is for the voters to form pressure groups?
Australian communities have long had Progress Associations. Communities are in the forefront of local development in liaison with the local council and state and federal governments.
We read letters to the editor in PNG asking "Local member where are you?"
In Australia, there could be the Riverina Progress Association, Dubbo Progress Association, Burnett Valley Progress Association and hundreds more.
Only unwise councillors and politicians ignore such community bodies.
These are training grounds for the next wave of aspiring politicians and spring boards for the next election campaign.
What about the Kainantu Progress Association, Kokopo Progress Association and more? These are intended to be totally non-party political.
The Association could identify and publicize the development needs in electorates and pressure the politicians to carry out the tasks with the DSIP funds and other funds of Government.
There could be a branch in every electorate with the local member as an honorary member invited to every meeting to explain developments so far.
Many politicians would value the opportunity to explain to the electorate.
Newer members would start their political careers with positive habits of accountability and transparency.
Let PNG catch up to the world Martyn. Pressure groups is the way to go. The media would love to be involved.
Squeaky wheels get oiled.
But there seems to be a new wave of good men and women newly declared winners.
