Port Moresby: Kandep parliamentarian and the leader of T.H.E. Party Don Pomb
Polye wants one commitment from the people to save the pace of the country. And that they should take ownership of national issues affecting the socio-economic and political landscape of PNG. Mr Polye declared that PNG has gone into a state of anarchy. And he fears the worst is expected which will cause the entire population to suffer. “Official corruption has been bred into the system by the current top leadership where transactions involving huge sum of money have been done in top secret and the constitution and important legislations have been deliberately violated. “Prime Minister Peter O’Neill has facilitated and defended corruption and there is fear that the country has begun losing foreign investor confidence,” he said. He said PM O’Neill has commenced on a wrong path in managing the country and it is a bad precedent. “Our institutions and law enforcing agencies should be respected and such organizations should be left free of interference from performing their constitutionally independent duties and responsibilities,” said Mr. Polye. A worried Polye added: “There is great fear that PNG’s younger generations will fall into practice left by Mr O’Neill. The country has been run by incompetent people who have mismanaged the PNG’s promising economy. The economy is blooming but the kind of leadership demonstrated by the PM will definitely lead the country into socio-economic crisis. There is no doubt that such a situation was experienced in the year 2009, therefore PNG should do all she can to avert repetition of the same by this PM.” “The Ombudsman Commission (OC) is an independent ‘watchdog’ and it performs its constitutional functions and responsibilities. The PM as head of the country has breached the constitution, protocols, systems and processes and deliberately interfered into the work of the OC. “It is sad that PM has forced himself and interfered into the OC and the investigation has been comprised. He has no right to interfere into the OC’s work. Indeed this is the work of desperate leaders who fall into a dictatorship which is not conducive for a culturally diverse country like PNG,” he said. If it is true that the first interest payment was paid despite the moratorium placed by the OC, it was a breach of Constitutional laws and the OC is constitutionally tasked to make the PM responsible for his actions, said Mr. Polye. Mr. Polye said every human being make mistakes and the important practice is to make corrections and cease continuation. It is sadly the reverse where the PM O’Neill continues to make mistakes and defends his mistakes. It is disappointing as if PNG is operating isolation with the rest of the world. The PM’s actions have shaded negative implications on the roles and functions of other constitutional offices, institutions and state agencies. For example Provincial administrations and Departments can easily follow the PM’s set precedence against any constitutional directives given by the Public Services Commission, the Electoral Commission, the Police Commission, etc.,. His interference will lead into break-down of functions of such organizations and there will be an absolute failure in governance, said Mr. Polye. “I caution the PM as a colleague leader to understand the far reaching implications of his ill-motivated and short-sighted decisions”, said Mr. Polye. “I appeal to all responsible bodies and members of parliament to act appropriately to stop further breach of the constitution and other laws to rescue this country,” added Mr. Polye.
