Members of the opposition in Papua New Guinea have called on the Ombudsman Commission to take a more proactive stance in combating corruption within the nation. The challenge was voiced by Sina Sina Yongamul MP Kerenga Kua during a press conference held in Port Moresby. Kua pointed out that Papua New Guinea is currently ranked as one of the most corrupt countries globally, particularly in the conduct of its leaders. Drawing comparisons between the past and present, he highlighted the deteriorating state of corruption and stressed the need for decisive action. Expressing concern about the existing cases of leadership corruption, Kua asserted that the Ombudsman Commission has a responsibility to investigate and address these issues. He placed blame on the watchdog for the alarming increase in corruption within the country. Emphasizing the crucial role of the Ombudsman Commission in society, Kua expressed disappointment with the current approach taken by the commission. He called on the watchdog to rise to the occasion and fulfill its duties diligently in the fight against corruption. The Ombudsman Commission, established as an independent office by the country's constitution, holds key functions in investigating complaints related to administrative actions and overseeing the conduct of leaders in public office. As concerns about corruption grow, the opposition urges the commission to play a more active role in upholding transparency and accountability within Papua New Guinea. Also read Comments are closed.
