 WHAT criteria or performance-based mechanism is used to measure or assess John Hickey’s so-called services to the community? 

What has he done in terms of infrastructure development or empowering the communities within his electorate or Bogia as a whole? 

Who actually did his appraisal? 

The once small and beautiful township of Bogia has gone to the jackals.

It has taken backward steps since the late 1980s and the people are scrambling to make ends meet. 

Mothers are giving birth at dirty, old, bare-concrete wards where not a  single fly wire has been changed since the once-pretty fully equipped Bogia health centre was built. 

Minor illnesses that can be treated are being referred to the Modilon hospital in Madang, which adds the burden of transportation. 

Bogia was once a thriving little township with all the basic services. 

Hickey is not even vocal about the repatriation of the people of Manam Island, who are suffering right under his fat nose and pot belly. 

He is too busy with his chairmanship in Waigani to bother about his own people who are suffering. 

Other members from other provinces are giving priority to their students by paying for their school fees, but Hickey has done nothing. 

He has neither helped nor empowered the womenfolk of Bogia or the youths and has done nothing to address issues relating to health and education. ,

Josepstaal is suffering big time while he enjoys his sweet and sour pork in Waigani that his tummy is getting bigger and bigger. 

And he is being knighted? 

How does Sir Ken Fairweather sound? 

It sounds like music to my ears.
