Taking PNG back to the dark ages

IT is a dark day in the history of PNG that the acting CEO of PNG power is forced out for purely political reasons.
You can ask any power consumer. Blacklock was doing an excellent job.
Private gensets were finally being made redundant.
The fact the PNG Power Unions didn’t like her shows how great a job Blacklock was doing.
People had to work for a change. Corruption was being ousted.
With this sort of situation – what are we exactly taking PNG back to?
The third world. Power on and off all the time.
Lazy SOE work forces. Poor public service.
Is this what means by taking PNG back?
It’s time the Government got its own house in order which means its own parliament and public servants.
How does this new government preach reform to others when their own payee taxes aren’t paid to IRC? Their own electricity bills aren’t paid to PNG power and own employer Super contributions aren’t paid to Nambawan Super. So it’s – do as we say – not as we do?
Where do the IRC and Bank of PNG sit on all this – just looking on or doing something? Toothless tigers.
If it was anyone in the private sector not paying these the regulators would be all over them.
Any small transgressor would face a court of law and jail. Again – do as we say – not as we do.
Is Sam Koim going to prosecute the government payroll officer for not paying over parliaments payee?
Is Loi Bakani going to prosecute the government treasurer for not paying employer super?
All we get is silence. They are tough on the little men only.
‘Taking Back PNG’ seems more like ‘taking Back PNG to the dark ages’.

High Voltage, PNG
