MP: Leaders are servants

The National National

ELECTED leaders are people’s servants, hence, they must deliver what is due to the people, an MP says.
Member for Tambul-Nebilyer Win Bakri Daki said parliamentarians needed to deliver basic government services to their constituents.
Daki said this last Friday at Tabaga village during the opening of the K300,000 Malda water supply project.
He said leaders had to deliver services appropriately and effectively and not deprive the rights of the people by providing token services.
“We, as mandated leaders, must get the priorities right by giving something back to our people,” he said.
“We must put the needs and interest of our people above ours rather than ignoring them.”
Daki said there was no excuse for MPs to delay projects for whatever reason.
“We must serve our people back at our respective electorates with our heart,” he said.
“We have to build their roads, water supply and many other basic services.
“We, as leaders, must leave a legacy behind for our people.”

  • This is total bull shit. The leader is a leader in the first instance – that is who he is and can never escape from this phenomenon. He cannot do the dirty work of building roads and bridges etc … etc …. He should be a legislator, a debater, and a negotiator, for his people – not a dirty road builder … leave that to the experts in the Civil Service ( public servants).

    This mixed up idea that MPs should deliver ‘basic services’ to their constituents is totally corrupt and ‘un-leader-like’ .

    I am sorry to inform the good MP and anyone else that wants to know that the phrase ‘servant leader’ means providing ethical, moral, and honest leadership in all situations to the people they represent and lead without thinking of profiting himself in the act of providing leadership.. The phrase ‘Servant Leader’ has been misused for so long by so many under performing leaders who know nothing about real leadership that it has lost its real meaning in Papua New Guinea.

  • And our dumb idiots in those electorates everywhere aorund the country, where they these MPs go to officate at project sites, should not be adorning them with flowers and carrying them of seats over their shoulders. They have legs to walk all the way to the dais for their useless speeches.
