O’Neill must not take things too personal

 DESPITE whatever Don Polye says or does against the government, he is still part of the coalition that was formed in Alotau in 2012. 

The prime minister must understand that the house he lives inside and operates from today was built by coalition partners, including Polye.

Peter O’Neill should not take things too personal. 

The decision to seat Polye on the opposition side will only show that the prime minister has been taking things personally and therefore, the allegations made so far are true indeed. 

There are other smart ways to corner Polye if you do not want him to talk in parliament from the government seat. 

The prime minister should realise that Papua New Guineans are not interested in your sitting arrangements but how those several national issues, including the K3 billion UBS loan, will be resolved. 

Today’s corruption and mismanagement must stop for the sake of our sons and daughters of tomorrow. 

Tomorrow’s generation must not continue to make policies to build classrooms and bridges, roads and to continue to amend acts to solve law and order issues. 

Those things must be done and completed by now so that tomorrows’ generation can concentrate on other things and create policies on setting technologies to boost our border securities or building railways to connect provinces for a better cost efficiency purpose. 

Perhaps by then, settlements would be considered as suburbs, price of food will drop and rental rates will be more affordable and real than today.

PNG is bigger and more important than any individual politician or anyone else for that matter.
