Guided by our moral and integrity

Letters

UPHOLD our code of ethics and use them in our daily engagements.
Public confidence and honor may be noticed when you actually apply those code of ethics in the provision of assigned roles, responsibilities and duties in delivering services.
The Lae metropolitan commander’s statement regarding his two policemen breaching the police of code of ethics as reported in The National on March 22 gives a clear picture of what will happen when officers, and every human being for that matter, do not observe the principles of morality and integrity.
It’s not only policemen and women but it applies to all public servants throughout Papua New Guinea.
This included teachers, police officers, health workers, provincial administration staff, soldiers, warders, university and higher institution lecturers and so on.
Be proud of who you are, maintain your personal identity and continue to serve our people and the country with dignity, pride and honesty.
Criminals will think twice when they are confronted by no-nonsense police officers who always stood by their code of ethics in the discharge of their duties.
Children admire and develop confidence, seeing and value their teachers as intelligence and talk highly of those who are neatly dressed and always teach with a smile on their faces, displaying bright and shining teeth.
This is the time to change. Leave behind those mistakes of the past and revisit the morals and principles of life that you have, for far too long, swept into the very corner of your being.
Let’s make a complete “U” turn in our professions and enforce the principles that matter.
Learning does not stop, even for me as an educationist. In thinking out loud, I am also learning.
So, let us all work together and follow the values and morals that will guide us into delivering vital and important services for the common good of our nation and people.
