Address woes of corruption, progress

Most people are confusing their emotions with realities in thinking that the country is going through a process of redemption.
Others are thinking that the country is going through a period of trial and error and will one day emerge as the lion king after all the natural resources run out.
But the simple fact that can be established from a country rich in natural resources is that the country is not being properly “governed to develop and advance”.
This is because corruption is a killer disease that is eating the heart of the Government and the Government is not doing anything to stop this problem.
Illegal logging and fishing means the Government is not protecting our resources.
Law and order problems are getting worse and women and children are subjected to injustice and suffering.
The country is not governed to “develop” because of the lack of major infrastructure developments.
The Government is not considering a world class national sports stadium like those in Australia and it is not building and sealing all the road networks.
The Government has no plans to build permanent houses for all Papua New Guineans or to have a world-class hospital.
