DEPUTY Prime Minister Belden Namah has been outspoken on corruption since he entered politics.
Fighting corruption was probably the number one campaign issue for any aspiring politician since the late 1980s.
Before any election, candidates would make bold statements with­out outlining their strategies on how they hope to tackle the issue and remain muted when in parliament.
The media has often danced to the tunes of these announcements.
The other daily did exactly that in its editorial.
My question is simple – how?
PNG Party is well esta­blished and is providing the bulk of the cabinet mi­nisters.
It must tell us how it will formulate policies that will strengthen the law and how to implement them.
We deserve to know these facts before making decisions on who and which party to vote for.
The media must now take the approach of asking political parties, intending candidates and incumbent MPs the “hard questions”.
We need to know what and why they stand for and how they will address contemporary issues affecting our daily lives including corruption.
The people will then have an informed idea whom we are voting.
Namah must tell us how he plans to fight corruption.
