not only Engans capabale of advising Polye to run this crountry... his advise shouldn't be sort from people based on which provinve they are from.. The country belongs to 18 other provinces, so as long as the intentions are not self interest and motivated by goodness for this country and based on educated and informed judgement then Poyle should be be seeking advice from any papua new guniean not just Engans... he better not become like Somare and put engans in all places.

keaster,

A valid point!, however, I personaly wouldn't align or see any Engan educated elite working with Don Polye after knowing him very well and him being a close relative of mine.

During his past 5yrs as Kandep MP, a couple of educated elits from Kandep did work with him, some as first secretary to his ministry and several as research officers, however, they didn't last very long, before the last election, all of them were ousted for whatever specific reason I don't know, but talking to a few of them, showed the same sediment. Don was arrogant and very gealousy in nature, he wouldn't want anybody else to be higher/wealthier then himself.

A good example, you may probably heard of Paul Itiogen who was the former Chairman for CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) but for a short while, he was knocked down although Paul was Don Polye's first cousin. This was the very reason why Paul Itiogen challenged Don in the election.

For this, you'll notice that people would deter from being his associates after learning of Don's inner self.

On the other note, the Somare family will never give the leadership position to somebody other than their own family. The PM post will be bestowed upon old Somare's own son - Author Somare after the 3 years which is what the PM indicated today in the papers.

The old fella is going to hand over the PM post to his son since a loop-hole in the law can deny any re-election of the PM when somebody retires. The incubent has the capacity to hand over the leadership to whoever he wishes within the coalition.

Bye the way, the Sepiks will never ever give their leadership to someone else because they've initiated a lot of ill-conceived corupt dealings that they want to wash clean and see to a dead end before somebody else surfaces them.

Otherwise, "Keaster" your idea is not bad!

Chicko

Your comments are noted. Iam not a Kandepen, therefor do not know Polye personally. I would have thought if there was an opportunity for an engan for the PM post, this would be the moment. Your latter comments on elder somare passing the torch to the younger appears to be the strategy the old man is playing. That is why a pre-emptive action at this time is appropiate. Otherwise, no one will be able to challenge the old man in 3 years time when he appoints a successor as he has stated in the papers today. Another 3 years as PM with the nations resources at his disposal, and given the senile old man that he is, I will not be superised if he decides to pass the crown to his son arthur.
