The National, Tuesday 07th Febuary 2012

I AM of the view that parliament should be dissolved and general election is held in April.
This will end the current political impasse as MPs and intending candidates seek the people’s mandate.
It is becoming difficult to adjudicate between competing claims of au­thority with both factions maintaining their stance.
Fear is gripping the people, their trust and patience is running out, and we can guess what may emanate from this current situation.
Before we witness anarchy or civil revolt, it is best to hold early election.
If the parliamentarians are holding their grounds and even undermining the judiciary, it is imperative that people’s power settle the matter once and for all through the ballot box.
The MPs should not hold the people of PNG at ransom.
In essence, we need to get rid of many of them as they are morally and ethically unfit to occupy political office.
I hope the governor-general can show courage to do the right and honourable thing on behalf of the people of PNG.
