PNG leaders must be alert to critical issues

 I AM not a politician of any position but I feel I must express my view on a matter of great importance to leadership and governance in Papua New Guinea.

Last week or so two senior Papua New Guineans representing a foreign company tried to mislead a senior leader. 

They had conjured up some numbers to entice that leader to politically support ‘ a cart before the horse’ project.

PNG was publicised as a bad country when leaders increased PNG’s stake in Porgera Gold Project from 10% to 25%. 

In 1979, about 10 years before Porgera Gold Project was approved for development leaders at the time pre-committed PNG to 10% equity stake. At development the project was bigger than the base for the 1979 equity agreement.  After a game of hardball, PNG was rewarded with additional 15% equity stake.

PNG leaders must be very alert. 

In Revelation 7: 1-9 God says He will open the ‘book of hidden plots.’ In Matthew 22 at the wedding feast, a person without proper robe will be captured and thrown out.

What robe are the two senior Papua New Guineans wearing?
