Confidence restoring

CRITICS may have their own views about the Government.
I, as a senior bureaucrat, want to state on record that the Prime Minister James Marape has set on the governance institutional platform to transform the Government.
Twelve months ago, there was no law in this country.
There was no evidence of police officers working.
If they were, perhaps they were running after the government ministers and forgot their constitutional duties.
No major arrests were made.
Appointments were done at whim and the country was heading for doom as a failed state.
When the key institutions such as Police, Defence and the main bureaucracy failed to deliver, we hardly felt that there was a government that existed for the people.
Freedom of the press was gagged and anything you called as government institutions came to a stand still.
The country literally fell into the hands of a syndicate of corrupt individuals and companies.
The prime minister, while a senior minister in the previous government, saw what was happening and realised that the country was fast disintegrating.
He walked out with other like-minded leaders and formed this government.
After 12 months in office, all lost confidences in the systems of governance were fast restored.
He call for a united bureaucracy to support him to take back the country and that had some impacts.
I am proud to say that the prime minister has restored the major institutional confidences and this government, given time with its National Alliance coalition and others, headed by Marape is promising.
Let’s put aside all differences and support the prime minister’s dream of transforming PNG into a prosperous rich black nation.
It is possible if all the right minded leaders are united and the right bureaucracy is functional and aligned with the mainstream policy framework.
Who says this government cannot transform this country?
On your first anniversary as a Prime Minister James Marape, I congratulate you for such an achievement in restoring the government institutions.
