MPs asked to deduct earnings

Letters

PRIME Minister James Marape displays a unique character by displaying humbleness in every instance.
One good example is when he decided to fly business class t instead of economic class during an overseas trip.
Very commendable of him.
Furthermore, more recently Marape asks the audience not to clap on him while he walks in but to clap after making PNG the “Richest black Christian nation.”
These are some of the leadership ingredients that speak of him highly.
Moreover, the notion of “Take Back PNG” is also applauded by many citizens.
In anticipation to that, we certainly would like to see someone setting a benchmark.
Therefore, we would like to ask the good prime minister who had displayed charismatic leadership to be an example by deducting 10 per cent of his peaks and privileges that he earns as Prime Minister to fund some of the most needed services like reducing high rate of mortality in the country.
PM should then ask all the members of parliament to deduct 10 per cent of their earnings.
“Take Back PNG” of course should start from our parliamentary leaders.
If all members of parliament agree, this will generate close to a K1 million in a year depending on how much is deducted.
Many members of parliament take for guaranteed the peaks and privileges so we ask this to be put into good course.
We ask members of parliament to set the precedence.
If the prime minister can set a good precedence of relegating the status of being respected as prime minister of PNG, we humbly ask PM to take a lead and commit to the country for good course by setting the precedence of the above.
Then only “Take Back PNG” will prevail.

One thought on “MPs asked to deduct earnings

  • I would even suggest that MPs should be making sacrifices by agreeing to be paid equivalent to the largest group of public servants, the teachers.
    It will make MP start losing weight and improve their health.
