MP Kipefa, focus on development, not rugby

 IT  is interesting that Obura-Wonenara MP Mehrra Minne Kipefa  is  behind the Titans  rugby league for the  then Sia  Cup  in  Goroka  and  now  the Coca-Cola Ipatas Cup in Lae. 

While there is no issue with that, the timing is not right  to  venture  into  games as we are way behind in infrastructure developments. 

We have had enough of previous MPs neglecting us and we expect  developments  as promised during your campaign.

One highlight of your campaign was to convert our district into a model district in Eastern Highlands  and PNG. 

However, we have not yet seen any concrete developments on the ground  to  achieve  this  and funding the rugby league team from the least-developed district’s purse is a slap in the poor people’s faces. 

Let  us not pretend that all is well. 

Upgrading and sealing of the proposed Obura-Wonenara Highway has not started and a year has passed without any development, indicating  that  we are moving towards the wrong direction. 

I  advise  the  MP   to  revisit  his  policies  and to start implementing some of them because they will become the foundation for his 2017 campaign where the people will judge him.
