Political play:Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill faces no-confidence vote as tensions rise is the headline overseas.
But that’s still a far better way to bring about a change in government than a military coup which abnegates civilian democratic rights and freedoms, including media freedom, for prolonged periods after the takeover of government.
The vote of no-confidence is politics played within the constitutional rules of the game of democratic governance. People of PNG should be proud of that.

Legacy issue: The alternative government failed to rise to the occasion on the floor of Parliament simply because they have baggage of legacy issues.
They will never ever be able to convince anyone that will do miracles for the country when they get in.
Maybe only fresh first term elected parliamentarians after 2022 national election will have some real standing.

Marape challenged: Several questions put forward to Prime Minister Peter O’Neill by Tari-Pori MP James Marape on Tuesday during Parliament was hogwash.
It would have been fitting if other opposition members ask the questions.
Marape, while in O’Neill’s regime, knows what was happening so for him to come out like that and ask questions to the PM was childish.
Was he trying to please opposition? He should be the one answering those questions since he was in government and knew every move government made.

Please wake up: Citizens please wake up and fight corruption. Most of our intellectuals have some or more knowledge on how our politicians have signed deals transparently we know about, the corrupt deals signed or verbally agreed upon we all do not know.
I volunteer to fight corruption…join me citizens against corruption.

Take back PNG: Let’s say our leader’s job to fight against corruption came to light recently with everyone trying to manipulate the system for their benefit.
Let the leaders in government see what their people think of them being associated with Prime Minister Peter O’Neill.
We have to join hands now.
Our motto is to take back PNG.
