Letters in brief

Our resources:
THERE are only 8 million of us. Do we really need 3 LNGs, 10 mines, hundreds of logging companies and fish canneries to keep us afloat? If so, then we should be flush with cash and live like UAEs. Instead, it is our resources, their profit! In the last 40 years PNG was created into a big “no man owned” ATM machine any one including Papua New Guineans themselves can swipe his card anytime and withdraw as much as you want, and our laws allow it.

Please investigate:
THE recent awarding of the K100 million contract to Borneo Pacific Pharmaceutical Ltd to supply medicines to PNG upon recommendations by the Health secretary is highly suspicious.
Chairman of Borneo Pacific Pharmaceutical Sir Martin Poh is also the Chairman of the Board of Gerehu General Hospital and also the Chairman of PNG Kidney Foundation which works closely with the Health Department.
Certainly there was a conflict of interest involved in the awarding of the contract. When will this kind of white collar corruption stop?
Thus, can the Ombudsman Commission or taskforce sweep team investigate this for the sake of transparency?
