Break the cycle of bad leadership

THE election-related violence seen in the nation’s capital on Sunday, up in the Highlands and elsewhere around the country is a reflection of the current volatile state of play in our economic, social, political and spiritual position.
It is a rude wake-up call for the Government, leaders, people and churches.
We are going through difficult times, as is the rest of the world.
We have serious ongoing internal issues and, on top of that, the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) doesn’t seem like it’s going to end any time soon.
The Government has lost the plot.
The integrity of our electoral process has been highly politicised and has failed miserably – Government must take full responsibility.
Life is getting tough for ordinary Papua New Guineans.
People want to see real change to break the cycle of bad leadership and they want to make it happen through the ballot.
When the system has been compromised and can no longer be trusted, people will resort to illegal and violent ways to get their message across.
General Election 2022 has failed the people of PNG immensely.
The new Government must, from day one, address this issue.
We truly need the wisdom of God to steer the destiny of our country during these difficult times and this is the time to humble ourselves and be on our knees and tell God truthfully “we have come to the end of ourselves, help us”.
If we don’t and think we can manage this county on our own, then we must be prepared for the worst.
