NORTHERN Governor Gary Juffa has asked his fellow MPs to consider the collective interests of all Papua New Guineans when considering decisions they made that affected the nation and its people. He stated that too often, the people were used as a reason for politics but were dumped after power was attained. The Governor made the call in response to Governor Kelly Naru’s recent media statement announcing a Morobe bloc and naming Northern Province as a supporter. The Governor proposed that educated Papua New Guineans needed to speak up and voice concern over decisions made by the Government that were not in PNG’s interests, such as the illegal granting of citizenship to Djoko Tjandra and the approval for seabed mining and PMIZ, as well as lack of payments for LNG landowners and other national issues. The Governor said regional blocs were divisive and created political instability and promoted elitism. He proposed a PNG bloc made up of learned Papua New Guineans who wanted a better PNG. "I have not been contacted or spoken to regarding such a bloc and am thus unaware unless the good Governor is referring to other Northern Province MPs," he said.
