Chuave still waiting for Mori to fulfil pledge
The National, Thursday 07th March, 2013
WHEN Wera Mori became Chuave MP last year, he announced that he would assist all the parents of students from the electorate studying in tertiary institutions in PNG.
That announcement was greeted by a roar of applause because the MP had won the hearts of the struggling parents.
However, nine months have passed and Mori has not assisted a single student studying in any of the tertiary institutions.
Some first time MPs won the hearts of struggling parents by paying tuition fees for students from their electorates or provinces.
Lawmakers such as Peter Ipatas, Robert Atiyafa, Anton Yagama, Powes Parkop, Justin Tkatchenko, Johnson Tuke, William Tongamp and a few others have each spent millions of kina to assist students in their respective electorates.
Mori needs to explain two issues that are bothering me.
Firstly, when is he going to assist his future human resources who are studying in tertiary institutions?
By doing so, the MP will bring huge sighs of relief to parents.
Secondly, with regard to the new health delivery policy launched recently, how will Kristoffa Ninkama deliver much-needed health services to the populace of Chuave?
How much is it going to cost to bring in a private practising doctor and his assistants from Australia?
Ninkama is a city boy and unlikely to be able to acclimatise to rural conditions.
I believe that Mori has been ill-advised.
I urge those around Mori to help reverse the decision and redirect resources to something more beneficial and tangible for the people of Chuave.
