Former Prime Minister Paias Wingti Said The Facts Of PNG MPs Loving Money Than People
Paias Wingti, while being the Prime Minister for the second time in 1994, said it is not easy to run a government. _I care for the people and wanted to do many things. But making the right decision always threatened my survival as PM. I always had fear. The fear of losing a MP always haunted me. How can I satisfy everyone with the decisions I make? Losing a single MP and seeing media headlines gave me a headache that iam gone finished as a PM._
_The solution I could have done, was giving free money to MPs as a bargain chip to hold them so that I remain PM_ .
Let us look at the Wingti scenario. Was Mr. Wingti ignorantly suffocating his conscience, the irony giving into MPs little redflags? No. As PM he was duty-bound to run a government. To lead the NEC. To address Parliament and be answerable to the people. Unfortunately, let us accept the fact, doing good costs your career.
He was fighting a delimena between a country on his shoulder and MPs sleeping in his pockets.
Sir Mekere faced the same _cockroach-in-the wardrobe_ dilemma. Sometimes, we tend to blame a government or the Prime Minister, but the real noisy toads peddling corruption and sucking public funds to unbudgetted areas are your Members of Parliament.
