Marape light of hope

PRIME Minister James Marape is the light of hope for the people of Papua New Guinea.
Whoever goes against him is the shadow in the dark.
Right after Independence, the political knowledge and entrepreneurial mindset to run the economy of our country had been seen limited, and almost 92 per cent of the population who lived in hinterland areas hadn’t realised what was going on, and the colonial influence still remained active in those main centres.
The lack of standard local knowledge on how to affiliate bilateral/multilateral relations with other nations and on how to manage our own affairs brought back little effects which was only been felt by few people in main centres, and most continued to keep up with the traditions in the jungles and caves during those sailing times and the growth of our economy was on a snails phase until up to recent times.
We continued to become an area of target for those most developed nations to build their empires from our lost as it’s always a norm to any developing nations around the world.
Even today, democracy is still poorly understood to exercise it, and corruption keeps advancing and crippling our economy at high risk up till today.
Fast forward!
I now have confident that we are at the turning point.
Why am I saying this? It is because we are now starting to realise our strengths, weakness, opportunities and the threats to ponder on in our staggering economy, someone is already analysing a road map, way to go!
The light of intellectual knowledge is slowing glowing under Marape-Davis Government.
It’s now time to exercise our knowledge to put them to good use to reduce poverty and to up-lift the living standards and bring our economy up.
Singapore grew as an Asian tiger from nothing but from small fishing farm, Norway a small nation like us, grew from agriculture and fishing industry and then into oil and gas production, now she is the richest and happiest nation in the world.
And China, from nothing but through mobilisation led by Mao Zedong to transform agrarian societies to socialist and they exercised their intellectual power into industrialisation.
Now compared to our country, what are we lacking?
We have the minerals, we have commodities, we have labour force and now we have enough skilled labour or entrepreneurial, and what we lack, we have the resource to trade.
This is the era and this is the generation that education is coming to ripe and demand for quality service delivery and call for policy revitalisation and to fight corruption will be our hottest agendas over the next coming times, days and years.
