Application of laws must be applied equally
I STRONGLY believe that several leaders in the current Government and the Ombudsman Commission have compromised and delayed the referral of some leaders to the Public Prosecutor.
This is not fair on the leaders who have had to go through the process.
This is a breach and those responsible must be held accountable.
I call for an immediate investigation into this issue.
There is a perception that there are three sets of laws in PNG. One for the little people, one for the leaders and the other for the leaders of leaders.
This is a dangerous precedence. You cannot have other senior leaders receiving preferred treatment over other elected leaders.
The application of laws must be played on a level playing field so that justice is seen to be done for the little man as well as the big man.
Together they are equal under the law. - Peter Masi, Former Ombudsman

Air Niugini’s domestic services far from expectation
SOMETIMES I wonder if the Air Niugini management is deaf or plain dumb.
Despite the countless complaints, the management has done nothing to improve the situation. I am so disgusted with the airline.
Recently, I was a victim of Air Niugini’s incompetence and unacceptable service.
I was scheduled to take a flight home from Jackson Airport on Dec 15. But the flight was cancelled, not only a day, but for three consecutive days.
My flight finally took off on Dec 18.
The inconvenience I had to undergo was unbearable. Despite its poor service, Air Niugini is forever raising the price of its airfare.
I would like to ask the Government whether it is going to improve domestic air travel.
It is a hassle for the small people. - Grassroots tourist, via email

Questions for PEA execs
I WANT to ask the PEA executives three simples questions: 1. Are we, PEA members from the statutory body of the Government, benefiting or not from the negotiations with the DPM? 2. If not, why are we still contributing the PEA membership subscription? 3. If we are not going to benefit, can the PEA executives explain to us why they cannot fight for the members rather than fighting for every public servant as some members are not gaining anything while public servant who are not members are getting a free ride. – Concerned PEA member, Via email

Vagi’s decision saluted
I WAS astonished to read the letter challenging the expulsion order of the SoE controller for repeatedly bringing in alcohol into Oro province. The Oro people are behind the controller and we support his decision. Foreigners must abide the law of PNG if they want to stay in PNG. They have been warned before at Girua Airport and chose to ignore the warning. They showed neither respect to the controller nor PNG law. We salute you, Col Vagi. – Anthony Hoivo, via email

Daulo waits for Kondo’s plan
THE election is over, the budget has been passed and the Daulo people are still waiting for their MP Kondo Patrick to announce his plans for the next four and a half years and how he will use the K10 million. Other districts have come out with their plans. Don’t tell us that it will take you five years to draw up the plan. Daulo electorate must progress and we have given you the mandate to bring about changes. – MA, Port Moresby
