Marus has a lot to answer for to Talasea people
The National, Wednesday March 12th, 2014
I WRITE to express our disappointment concerning our Talasea open MP Francis Marus.
The following are issues you need to explain to the people who voted you in.
We want to know why you were not present during the passing of the K171 million West New Britain provincial budget.
Most of the K2.9 million DSIP funds have been spent on purchasing 22 vehicles for local level governments in Talasea, but these vehicles are now used to serve personal interests.
We do not need 10-seater vehicles, but tangible projects, developments and major services that will benefit the people.
The member needs to advise the people how much money has been allocated to support Talasea students in the WNB provincial scholarship scheme.
The member also needs to publicly outline the major developments or projects in his electorate that have been completed and those that are still underway as K50 million of DSIP fund in the last five years is a lot of money for a place like this.
Marus is hardly heard in the media or seen in the province or electorate.
You should be spending 80% of your time in the Talasea district office, rather than in Cairns or Port Moresby.
People are tired of seeing your officers every day.
Leave your comfort zone and be with your people to understand their needs.
Your absence in the province clearly indicates that you have not attended most of the provincial executive council (PEC) meetings since we elected you for your second term.
The governor and all PEC members need you to be in the province to be part of the team.
Finally, the people also need you to be in the province so we know we have a member who cares for his people.
