Many issues still unresolved
THERE are still many issues of national interest that are unresolved and many are heading down the drain of “political cover-ups”. Whether the delay is in the judicial system, inefficiency of the investigators or the ‘constant unavailability of funds’, what we should not forget is these issues are still unresolved. As I see it, the problem could be due to missing files/evidence and/or big guns are involved, hence using their position to influence the justice system. You may have your own interpretation. What is important is justice must be seen to be served. How can we move forward if we have a huge baggage? The longer it takes, the harder it is to unearth the truth, meaning a defeat in our justice system. Therefore, I urge the media to keep fighting for justice. - Yal Bal, Sydney

Review distribution of projects
I AGREE with the view of Jackop Sekewa (March 10) that there is unfair distribution of AusAID projects awards in our country. I call on senior public servants concerned to review the framework for a fair distribution of the projects awarded. Every district in the country should benefit from this aid. After all, these projects contribute to the development of PNG. Let us allow for transparency and honesty to prevail. PNG will not develop unless we weed out corruption. – Michael Drake Kapu, Madang

Nape lets electorate down
DESPITE countless complaints nothing is being done over the lack of interest from Sinasina Yongumugl MP Jeffery Nape in his electorate. He has brought no development but yet somehow still got re-elected in the general election last year. This should raise some questions for the Ombudsman Commission to look into. Health, education and other services in the electorate have not received any support from Nape. Facilities and roads are in terrible condition. The commission should wake up from its long sleep and carry out its constitutional duties. – Sinasina diehard, Goroka

Engineers deserve pay rise
AS an ex-employee of Ok Tedi, I know what is happening at the mine. The engineers deserved a 100% pay rise because of the work they do. The management is aware of the important role of the engineers. – Ex-employee, via email

PSC must vet candidates
FIVE candidates have been shortlisted for the East Sepik provincial administrator’s post but only two are suitably qualified. I believe one of the candidates has a police case pending while another made unauthorised payments to pay for his boss’ election campaign. The partner of a third candidate has been misusing a government vehicle, even during working hours. I hope the Public Service Commission will vet the candidates properly before submitting its recommendation to the National Executive Council. – Bon Sepik, Wewak

PPC must conduct probe
I FIND it strange that an arresting officer would sit down with a suspect for a beer. That is what happened in Goroka recently, two days after the suspect was released on bail. The man was detained for allegedly raping a girl. I call on the provincial police commander to order an investigation. – Walter Fomai, Goroka

Cheap dismissals
I AM disappointed with the dismissal of 120 workers by the Irish-owned mobile company. Since this company came here, I did not buy anything because I know cheap things do not last. Now, its employees are leaving very cheaply. I wonder when the batch will be dismissed. – Street mangi, via email

Fix Lae roads
CAN the current Government fix Lae city roads? Enough of boasting about the economy. We want our city roads fixed. I call on any minister to visit Lae city and take a ride from the city to Unitech, and then all the way to Igam Barracks, PTC and Bumayong to experience the torture we have to undergo everyday. The roads are not fit for human beings and we want our roads fixed. – Henry Kari Siwi, Lae
