Have you forgotten us, Pala?

I WAS amused to read the congratulatory message to Rigo MP (May 10) by “Rigo man”.
Time will tell whether MP Ano Pala will make a great attorney-general and justice minister.
While the MP is enjoying the comfort and amenities in Port Moresby, the people of Rigo are suffering.
We are still waiting for basic services, schools are deteriorating, roads are falling apart and health centres either have no staff or drugs or both.
One just has to take an hour’s drive to Kwikila from Port Moresby to see the filthy roads, overgrown grass and bushes there.
Kwikila, once the pride of Rigo, is now a disgrace and Pala does not even have an office there.
I wonder whether he has been to Hula or Kalo lately.
The road from Gabone to Hula is falling apart and it is littered with massive potholes.
What about electricity that was supposed to come to Hula?
It stopped just outside Kemabolo.
Congratulations for becoming the newly appointed AG, but please don’t forget about us, the people of Rigo electorate.
