PNG Trust registered

By HELEN TARAWA
PASSAM National High School students of the 1980s  have formed a political party which was registered last week for the general elections.
The PNG Trust Party aims to unite and build the country under the banner of trust amidst  challenges of climate change and uncertainties facing the country.
Party membership was derived from the First Taim Mangi’s Association out of Passam National High School which has about 2000 members throughout the country.
President Hansel Marven said the trust must be free of oppression, without harassment, domination, coercion, deception and discrimination.
“Our task and philosophy is to provide access and to create opportunities and protect our people to participate and benefit from all forms of development, extraction of renewable and non-renewable resources, and import and exports of cash commodities,” Marven said.
“The party emphasises integral human development leading the people to high competency, competitive, efficient and effective quality education, quality health and self-sufficiency.
“We believe in building a strong, robust and sustainable economy that will create wealth and distribute wealth among our people and to increase family household income and productivity.”
Registrar of Political Parties Dr Alphonse Gelu said the PNG Trust Party should build its foundation on inter-personal relationship and move forward taking on board the political aspirations.
“You’ve transformed yourself from a social organisation to a political organisation,”
Chairperson Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates Commission Dr Oru Sepoe told the PNG Trust Party officials to be the link between the voters and the government.
“Now the challenge is for you to go out there and do the work to get the political power to be able to fulfill your dreams and aspirations.”
