Subject: Re: NA has failed Enga - NA therefore has dug its own grave in Enga Author: PC [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Fri, May 18 2007, 04:41:23pm In reply to: Kill NA in Enga 's message, "NA has failed Enga - NA therefore has dug its own grave in Enga" on Mon, May 14 2007, 03:58:05pm ost -Courier , Friday, May 18, 2007 "NA failed to further reforms". The National Alliance Party-led government failed to further reforms despite "swimming in money", Port Moresby North-West MP Sir Mekere Morauta has lamented. Giving an assessment of the Somare Government's ability to carry on reforms instituted by his 1999 -2002 Peoples Democratic Movement government, the former prime minister said it was five years of wasted opportunity. "In the last four years, the Somare Government has been swimming in money, engendered chiefly by high mineral and oil prices; in part by the reforms I introduced; and in part by the fact that Bart Philemon when Treasurer hid the keys to the safe. But we have not taken the opportunity given to us by these factors and pushed ahead with reform, “ Sir Mekere told students in a seminar at the University of Papua New Guinea. While the Government has praised its handling of the economy and its success in keeping expenditure under control, the PNG Party parliamentary leader said the Somare regime did not institutionalise the fiscal restraint that became an economic management trademark of former treasurer Bart Philemon.

[> [> Subject: Re: NA has failed Enga - NA therefore has dug its own grave in Enga Author: Wage Wild West [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thu, May 24 2007, 01:59:46pm Comrades, Can we take a different approach on this issue ? First and Foremost, NA was the Ruling Party for full five year term from the last Parliarment, thanks to the Law of Integrity of Political Parties. Don Polye was the ONLY candidate under NA Ticket to a Win seat in Enga in the 2002 General Elections. He was again, the ONLY Engan MP to be given a Ministrial Portfolio when the NEC was formed. Lately, to be appointed to the countries second highest office. Under what circumstances and conditions NA has failed Enga. I do personally salute Hon. Don Polye (DPM) for changing the negetive image of Enga to one the powerful province in the Country. As Engans and Kandepans, where is your appreciation to the NA and the current Government?
