Health and education

I MAKE observations on billions of kina invested in health and education over the years has instead created big multi-million kina foreign owned companies in a failed procurement system to serve a failed domestic market condition as defined by World Bank in its foundation annual report for PNG.
In such an operating environment, it will never ever going to be a value for money procurement system capable of fairly distributing supplies of goods and services to all recipients at all corners of the country and that fact had been observed in the past few decades to present day.
By now, the task should have been reverted back and be handled by government systems and machineries to procure and deliver without so called corruption prone private entities at the expense of the people of this country.
It is time the underutilised PNG defense force should be tasked with the logistics and distribution through its three elements of land, air and sea.
The government takes care of logistics and operational costs of fuel, maintenance and allowances to distribute health drugs and educational materials to all corners of the country.
So far, billions have been wasted on education and health procurement with any sustainable outcomes.
The parliamentary public accounts have to probe those two sectors and recommend a revolutionary change to all the past stupidity as if PNG had a perfect domestic market environment to get private sector to cover at exorbitant costs.
Some heavy lifting has to be done by the PNGDF.
It requires new public investments into procurement of aircrafts, choppers, landing crafts and barges to distribute materials.
I have watched those wastage since 1990 and cannot tolerate this nonsense by decision makers.
