Address root cause of social issues

I REFER to The National’s front page report titled “Sex trade in the city” dated Friday, Nov 8.
Inclusively, I’d like to include “Law and Order” in this discussion with a view that both subject matters emanate from the same cause.
For most part of problem solving, one has to look at the cause and effect as a way forward to address and resolve contending issues, be it in a family unit, communities or by and large governments.
I look at these two issues in one dimension.
They are an outcome of “unemployment”.
Crime has been poorly diagnosed as a police responsibility by design.
It never occurred to our politicians that human existence demand the basics of life i.e housing, shelter and food to sustain living.
Lacking them will result in employing unconventional methods to acquire them, resulting in breach of law and order as a means to survive.
Prostitution emanates from the same cause as crime, which is “unemployment”.
As young siblings of a family unit, they are obligated to provide for the family, structured within the framework of Papua New Guinea culture.
Hence, without jobs, choices to do good become seriously difficult, as survival forces the inevitable.
Unemployment is a cause of bad, bad, bad polices.
Free education by design was political in dynamics for political power.
Prostitution is an economic bad policy designed to create jobs at the expense of our vulnerable and unskilled girls.
In all these calamities, our government did little to protect our vulnerability, and instead protect the interest of big money moguls, exploiting our cultural purity and inducing it with their pleasure, leisure and desire of evil intentions.
I call on Police Minister Bryan Kramer to stop petty politicking, and with the government, address the root cause of prostitution and Law and Order.
Introduce quality education to induce innovation, and creativity, hence, more so, put in place a stringent policy to protect local jobs.
Police officers are not the problem of crime, unemployment is.
Address unemployment and we will take back Papua New Guinea.
God bless PNG.
