Malabag and Temu should swap portfolios

The National, Monday 20th August, 2012

THE prime minister did a fairly good job in the distribution of cabinet positions.
I rate the distribution as 80% fair because I thought that some members were allocated with portfolios against their talents and fields of expertise.
Michael Malabag won because public servants in Moresby Northeast vo­ted for him to continue the fight for their housing allowance and other em­ployment conditions.
He is the hope for the thousands of government and private enterprise wor­kers throughout the country and he should have been given the public service ministry.
Let Sir Puka Temu, a trained medical doctor, take on health and HIV/AIDS.
Mr Prime Minister, please give Malabag a chance to save the thousands of unprivileged public servants who have been working and living under the amended diabolical colonial masters’ employ­ment condition policy from 40 years ago.
We trust Malabag more than anybody else with the public service portfolio.
