Subject: Cultural Diversity
In reply to: 's message, "Diverse values?" on 07:00:33 01/21/00 Fri

Thank you for your question.

Yes, I was speaking of the diversity due to our diverse cultures, upon which was thrust a system that tried to unite these previously independent groups into a single united country, without due consideration and/or inorporation of their leadership styles into the new system. This created a leadership vacumm at the village level.

In the past the colonial administrators filled the leadership vacumm with the Kukurais and Tultuls or the councillors, but these were foreign concepts and lacked the cultural loyalty and affiliations that villagers had towards their chiefs.

They Kukurais and Tutuls were primarily used for control from the the top down, and it worked for a while because the guys at the top (Colonila Administrators) knew where they wanted the country to go and how to take it there. Contrast that to the situation now, where there does not seem to be any cohesive long term plan for the future. Decisions are ad-hoc and based on short term aims without much thought being put into long term plans. Even then, such plans are rarely carried to fruition.

The involvement of MPs in the executive arm of the government has also added another confusing dimension to the whole process of government, and in some instances rendered them ineffective and near broke..such as th sad saga of Post PNG.
