Respect Constitution, have election

BELDEN Namah wants the election to be deferred so that his government, according to him, can fully implement its projects.
What stops Namah or another leader in the future from asking the same or even more time?
When the Constitution was written up, surely there were reasons to a maximum term of five years for every government.
What Namah seeks is an approval for him and his fellow parliamentarians to bend the rules to suit their agenda.
The O’Neill-Namah government has only been in power a few months, certainly not enough for the corrupt ones to fill their coffers to the level they would like.
With the election around the corner, there would be politicians trying to build up their war chests to ensure that they have enough to bribe for votes.
Having seen the government bulldoze its way through and pushing the Constitution aside, there is no telling what else it is capable of doing.
There are some good leaders in the government but I would say that there are also several whose credibility and integrity are very suspicious, who have no interest in serving the people and PNG but only their own.
Electoral Commissioner An­drew Trawen has stated that the electoral roll will be ready and polling will begin in June.
It is commendable for a civil servant to stand his ground and support the work of his staff, especially when he is countering someone like Namah, who has shown what power can do to an individual.
I hope the election will happen in June, if not to deprive the corrupt ones of more time to accomplish their misdeeds, at least to show that we still have some respect for our laws and the Constitution.
I am not sure who I will be vo­ting for yet but I do know who I will not be voting for – they are the cheats, the corrupt, the abusers, the bullies and the dictators.
I refer to those who make false promises, who happily give out cash hand-outs, who favour their own wantoks for jobs and pro­jects, and who twist and bend rules to suit their own interests.
