Constitutional Reforms to move PNG Forward



So Namah’s Party aka PNG Party claims to be the Party for Change. Sadly, as seen in he’s latest press release, Namah himself hasn’t Changed.

Activist Effrey Dademo has called for Constitutional Reforms as a way forward. She joins outgoing Opposition LeaderDame Carol Kidu and numerous voices nationwide. She sums up the general reaction towards Namah in this recent post online:

It wasn't the right time to raise the postponement of election issue. Belden Namah had his entire term as an MP in the last parliament to raise the issue. He never did so. He had the chance to sack the EC, he didn't, in fact he along with others renewed the EC's contract. He chose to raise it at time when there was power struggle!!!
 Bottom line, he and others could not be trusted at the time! period!...what's happened here was bound to happen anyway! It's an issue that has NEVER been sold. Election in, election out, we complain about the roll!!!
 It'S time for CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM - a re-look at the systems and procedures we've "adopted"...not ours, not even tailor made to our circumstances, but "adopted"
Politics aside, people got screwed by the Electoral Commission, and Mr Trawen must step down immediately after the elections. The new Government must then work on creating a new system of democratic government that is more responsive to the needs of the people.
