Leadership very different

POLITICS in the 21st Century is expensive, revolutionised and defined differently than what it has been originally perceived in the Athens city of Greece during Socratic epoch.
Due to internationalism concerning world politics, PNG is no longer an isolation country, relatively she is a citizen of the cosmopolitanism having heterogeneous interests to pursue and progress simultaneously.
Pillars of democracy and political powers have been changed in terms of leadership, diplomacy and policy formulations both domestically and internationally to best fit in an ever changing environment.
Traditionalistic theory of leadership way back in 1970s-late 1990s is seen irreverence in today’s context
A prominence example is most leaders are depending a lot on written speech by speech writers for conferences because they don’t have ability to speak without a written speech for an hour long.
Go to ted.com website and see many contemporary leaders how they are delivering their speeches without written speeches at international conferences, forums and parliaments.
The emphatic point herein this article is that they have been well educated to suit the contemporary politics, leadership skills and therefore there is a clear absenteeism of knowledge dependency.
Every citizen who possesses a Qualified Right for Citizens enshrine in section 50 of the National Constitution prescribes that for whoever reaches 18 years of age and above is eligible to participate in a democratic process to either vote or contest to represent public offices; however, section 50 simplistically refers to physical and emotional fitness but mentally is unfit to run the affairs of this country.
Yes, it (S.50) encourages PNG citizens whether; zero educated, semi or well educated alike to contest but this time the National Parliament doesn’t need semi educated brains to be a push-start-leaders to provide unscrupulous leadership for PNG where knowledge becomes a necessary tool.
Therefore, the Ministry of Attorney General must introduce a “Candidates Screening Committee Commission Act (CSCCA)”, bill onto the floor of parliament to amend it as a filtration process so that future candidates can apply to CSCC to seek approval to contest otherwise.
The Chief Ombudsman can be the chairman with other relevant constitutional bodies to specifically look at their (candidates) level of qualifications, working experiences, police clearance etc, before writs can be issued for nationwide general elections.
This simplistic approach is to slash corruption and to have the best futuristic leaders for better PNG.
