Government is toothless
WHERE in the civilized world
would you see such an immature action by employees of the power
industry?
The cutting off of power last night (July 12) and the threat to
switch off the power indefinitely by the PNG Power workers should
have been treated by the Government as a matter of national
security.
This is not the first time that the world at large has seen the
inability of the PNG Government to handle issues that are so
ridiculous.
The Government is not a cooperative, it is not a club, it is not a
just a group of people dedicated to protect the interests of their
own wantoks.
The Government represents the interests of the whole country and
the people staying there.
It must make hard decisions for the interest of the majority of
the PNG people and not just for the few who demand ridiculously
from time to time.
These people do tend to abuse the sanctity of the independence of
the country.
Independence doesn’t mean freedom from the arms of the foreigners
or influence of other governments, it is also the strength to know
and uphold what is right and what is needed by the people.
When you cut off the power, it is not only the NCD that is
affected, but also the whole country because investors will see
the PNG Government is toothless.
The people of PNG should understand and not allow such abuse to
take place.
The Government should learn how to say enough is enough.
If these kinds of people threaten the industry or any sector of
the land, then the Government should take action swiftly and
decisively.
Those who abuse and threaten the sanctity of peace should be
arrested.
Let them learn the hard way and that there is no place in PNG for
immature actions and selfish demands.
The PNG Government should learn how to grow teeth and bite if it
must.
