PNG is doomed. For the next 5 years the Somare royal family will run PNG Inc. like their private company. They knew so much were at stake that's why they promised and spent a lot of money bribing and lobbying for power.
The Somare's have their filthy hands in forestry and other business interests around the country. There was even rumours of Arthur Somare bringing in an Asian telecommunications company to compete with Telikom. That was the reason why he was very vocal and negative about Digicel and Greencom moblie companies. Rumours have it that he was bribed or promised a substantial amount of money by this Asian company. That is why he ordered revocation of Digicel's license.
Yes, we can't do much now to turn things around. Mekere and Bart did what they could to provide an alternative and hopefully better govt but they could not beat the Somare political juggernaut.
The next 5 years looks gloomy and unpromising for our young country that has so much to offer the world and yet could not because of imcompetent successive political leadership since achieving sovereignty in 1975.
