Kagua-Erave people confused
The National, Monday July 28th, 2014
I AM responding to the several writers from Kagua–Erave complaining about their local MP, James Lagea, on lack of service delivery.
The district has a lot of well-educated professional people contributing to profound impact developments.
However, I am not sure on how these professionals are organised and mobilised in terms of leadership and community contribution at the district and village level.
This is the district known for tribal fights.
Infrastructures set up by missions and the government are destroyed when it comes to tribal fights.
At one time, they cry and beg for the police and law and order intervention.
They also asked for government services all in the guise of humanitarian need.
And yet this race has no respect and care for human life and public infrastructure if they can use bombs to destroy their own.
So which group seems to represent the whole district when they are asking for services?
Is it the educated elite or the public servants?
The district seems to be divided like rags torn apart, with one group taking the MP to court of disputed returns, second group continue to appeal for desperate service delivery from the MP and the national government and another group claims to be fighting against the national government at the national front on issues perceived to be of national interest.
Many MPs have invited Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to initiate impact projects worth hundreds of millions of kina.
Kagua-Erave district is no different to these districts and deserves to be visited by the prime minister.
I believe that Lagea being the vice minister for health may have planned or is planning to invite the prime minister to launch the impact projects.
