PNG PRIME Minister James Marape has urged voters to give his Pangu Pati and its coalition partners’ candidates the first three preferences “if you believe in nationalistic leaders”. “Pangu is a nationalistic party. Back in the 60s when (the party) was formed, it had a dream of uniting Papua and New Guinea,” he said. “And the current like-minded leaders in Pangu are also nationalistic leaders who believe in changing PNG as a country and giving the country economic independence.” Marape said Pangu would promote the equal distribution of government services and infrastructure development. Marape said he was not afraid of his government’s statistics on connecting PNG with roads, and providing health, education services and infrastructure development.
He said it was why he invited former prime minister and People’s National Congress Party leader Peter O’Neill to a public debate. “I have statistics. I know my numbers. And numbers don’t lie. But he refused to engage in an open debate,” he said. Marape also assured the people that a Pangu-led government would fight corruption. “We will fight to take back the country’s money and properties lost through corruption,” he said. “In education, more than 50,000 students were given a second chance and have completed their education through the distance education programmes. “The Pangu-led government support SMEs and have given out contracts to nationally-owned companies. “The country now owns 51 per cent of Porgera. We will fight to take back PNG resources. “We believe in empowering our people.” Comments are closed.
