Papua New Guinea needs a revolution in political affairs

By Reginald Renagi

The cries of Papua New Guineans go unheard. 

Past trends show that PNG’s current political regime will not drastically change its poor governance approach. 

It is now up to the next new leadership and government. 

PNG desperately needs a new progressive government after the 2012 elections that will totally transform PNG.

Since Independence, government policies have not regularly being reviewed, updated and broadened with a view to counteract any misconceptions about them. 

The new PNG government must have a sound development strategy with a policy framework encompassing basic principles, goals, policies and highlights two overriding goals of greater participation by the people, and sustainable development.

PNG needs a revolution in political affairs.

It must change its political landscape starting this year with the full participation of all citizens. 

Every citizen and government must work together for a better country.

A fresh new leader with a new political announcement to inspire PNG is what is needed now to have a new “contract with all citizens” for a better government. 

It is about a dynamic plan that will have the government in a stimulating discussion and debate with its people which must go beyond any individual party national convention.
