PORT MORESBY: Ninety-nine percent of people who voted in an on-line poll think the government is not doing enough to tackle corruption.

The poll was conducted by the public interest group ACT NOW!

Effrey Dademo, Program Manager, says, “the message to the Prime Minister and the government is clear. The people want to see much more action on corruption. That has to include prosecuting white collar criminals in the public service and those they conspire with”.

PORT MORESBY: ACT NOW! has sent an Action Alert to its 500 members and supporters urging them to register their opposition to the so-called ‘Maladina’ amendments which Parliament will debate next week.

Effrey Dademo, Program Manager, says ACT NOW!, opposes the bill because it will weaken the powers of the Ombudsman Commission and give greater immunity to Members of Parliament.
