THE Papua New Guinea's population increases by three per cent every year, which demands an improvement in service delivery too, says Ialibu-Pangia MP Peter O’Neill. O’Neill told people at Gumine in Chimbu during a People’s National Congress (PNC) party rally that the national economy needed to meet the demands of the population which was increasing every year to almost 10 million today. “Our country’s three per cent increase in population exceeds other countries. But despite that rate, the PNC party will still provide its free education policy for every child,” he said. “The population demands the delivery of (services such as) health, education, roads, bridges and infrastructure.”
O’Neill was in Gumine to support PNC candidate Joe Wemin. He said at Dei village that the public demand for services had increased. “The demands have increased which makes it difficult for any government to meet because the economy had (not been) generating money,” he said. He blamed it on poor and inexperienced leaders. He added that since the change of government in 2019, leadership at national level had been unstable and weak. He urged the people of Gumine to support Wemin because of his wealth of knowledge and experience in the public and private sectors. Next : US, PNG Sign Deal For Women In Forestry Comments are closed.
