Central Sepik a gimmick

The National, Thursday 23rd Febuary 2012

I THINK MP Gabriel Kapris’ proposal for a Central Sepik province should be weighed out as it seems to pop up at a   critical time, right before the election.
As minister for commerce in the former go­vernment, multi-million kina deals were made in­cluding the Pacific Ma­rine Industrial Zone in Madang and the 4-Mile casino, but both are in­complete. Why?
What about the deteriorating feeder roads, poor conditions of schools and markets, the lack of re­sources at rural aid posts and absence of proper banking services?
If there is shortage of funds, where are the     DSIP or donor funds for counter-part funding?
Recently, Kapris shifted to the O’Neill-Namah camp.
Is this in the best interest of the people or a cover-up as the Task Force Sweep looks into past operations?
Kapris should have proposed this long ago if it was indeed his dream.
We need a visionary leader, not someone who spends money on unfi­nished projects and his empire at the expense of the people’s money.
