Papua New Guinea is not a poor country. We have vast natural resources and are an able and hardworking people. We should be able to provide everyone with access to good health and education services and good roads.
But vast sums of money are being stolen every year by people who abuse their positions of trust - whether in government, the public services or private companies. This is money that should be spent on health services, schools and roads.
The government has promised an Independent Commission Against Corruption, which ACT NOW! supports, but the government is still wasting vast sums of public money on projects like the Pacific Marine Industrial Zone (PMIZ) and Experimental Seabed Mining.
Mothers and babies are dying and children are struggling to get an education - we have to act to help them. ACT NOW! members are determined to TAKE ACTION to stop the stealing and build a better PNG.
ACT NOW! is campaigning to:
- Ensure implementation of the Finance Department Commission of Inquiry recommendations that 56 people be prosecuted for stealing public money;
- Ensure the Independent Commission Agaiant Corruption is set up; and
- To stop public funds being wasted on the PMIZ.
