Subject: Re: Latest Political Development in Enga Author: rausim cpp [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Mon, Apr 09 2007, 10:58:33am In reply to: Naro 's message, "Latest Political Development in Enga" on Mon, Mar 19 2007, 07:22:48pm Latest reports on the ground show that Ipatas is loosing popularity faster at all districts than expected. Sadly, no one candidate is capitalising on that. We are yet to see a candidate who can give Ipatas a real challenge. Ony two people that come to mind are Pundari and D.Kapi who can score at all five districts. Torato and others named will ony do well in their respective districts. We all know the strengths and weaknesses of Ipatas so if you want a real change, this is your golden opportunity, to make it your business to educate your parents & tribesman to PROMOTE the RAUSIM CPP OPERATION in Enga. Tingim, if you give vote to a CPP candidate incl. the confirmed sitting MP's K.Karppa, D.Maki, Ipatas and other candidates in Enga then SORRI TUMAS, you can stand behind D.Kapi lon traem lon kot tasol gen.

[> Subject: TORATO for Enga Governor!!! Author: Miok Rutz [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sat, Jun 16 2007, 06:02:16am Folks, I have received overwhelming news that Paul P. Torato is on fire for Enga Governor. West Enga (Kandep, Porgera, Laiagam, Ambum) has almost sworn allegiance to The Man for his charisma, wisdom and hard stance on social welfare, road infrastructure, employment and other issues affecting the province. Regardless of his age, Mr. Torato is without a grey hair and would put contemporary Engan politicians (including Ipatas) and intending candidates to shame for his top bill of health!! Physically, he couldn't look any better than in his late 30s even though the man is actually in his early 50s. Don "The King" Polye is looking to return as Kandep MP and possibly, Prime Minister with Philip Kikala as Lagaip/Porgera MP. National Alliance has got West Enga captivated by the tail with its policies!! Prime Minister Sir Michael recently visited Kandep and Laiagam and promised a greater role for West Enga in the development of the province and country!!! What more a guarantee can Enga look forward to other than the volatile, visionless and vile promises Ipatas promises with no promises of national experience, fiscal stability and political sustainability!! West Enga for ENGA!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Who is Torato????? Author: Yandapon- Lagaip Mage [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thu, Jun 21 2007, 04:05:08pm This expired man by the name of Paul Pakenege Torato has done nothing for Enga in his 10 years in parliament. he can give us a sweet excuse by saying that in his time he budgeted only a K50,000 or K 100 000 but from my obervations...that money was too big in those days. a single K2. was just enough for a family's meals in torato's time. He has done nothing but stole those money and bought properties everywhere in Port Moresby. HE bought off the Togoba Hill in Port Moresby. He even bougght a Hanuabada angel that time and some white womens too which all left him. Ipatas is also a thief and a womeniser just like torato but ..em ol ples klia ya...yu will definetly know which women ipatas is fucking and how much he is stealing from EPG but this old man is a secret and silent bomber. I'm writting from a very frustrating point because he did not even bulid one classrom at Yangil communityy scohool, kepelam commuinty schooll, mapumanda or papayuku where he belongs to. he cheated my people for his gain. Ipatas is atleast giving us something back. ...this time Paul Pakenege will not trick us. our eagles eyes have been opened already. Ipatas will score 50 times more than PAul and anyother candidates in West Enga hard core- west engan [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Lagaip Mage (Sambe Wane) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Mon, Jun 25 2007, 08:12:24pm Yandapon, I have a lot of doubts on your ecomonics knowledge to say during Torato's time K100,000 was a huge amount. What exchange rate are you using to convert K100,000.00 into K60 million kina that Ipatas budgets. Get your facts right, I think Torato did more for the people of Enga then that which your tribesman Ipatas has done for the people of Enga. I believe with the kind of money now Torato can turn Enga into a triving in the country. The Sambe tribes are united in this cause. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: TORATO for Enga Governor!!! Author: Liane Onotena [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sun, Jun 24 2007, 12:34:45am During the times of Torato's reign, our road systems around the province were by far the best compared to many Highlands provinces that I traveled to. I took it for granted when a PWD then came around Murip every 3 to 4 months grading the road and a rooler followed. The Kandep road was like a sealed road from the summit of the Liane Range. I now realise it was the provincial leadership that made this possible. I now look at our roads and lament, those were the days. I even know we had better services and had public servants who had very little political connections. Things have gone very bad in the province, when everyone wants to gain from Enga's big purse now. We need someone like Torato who knew the people's problems to be back. We need a leader that will give services to everyone without fear or favour, not to dish out cash to a few supporters at the expense of the Enga people. The people of Kandep are sending Torato to Parliment for the Enga governor's post. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: TORATO for Enga Governor!!! Author: Sikita Tomape [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Mon, Jun 25 2007, 12:24:46pm I write here again to diffuse this concept of West-Enga. I am of Laiagam origin (Lagaip headwaters, Apulin tribe) but I do not subscribe to this concept chiefly because it propagates a micronationalist political agenda. Kandep, Laiagam, Porgera, Sirunki, parts of Malamun and any other place situated to the West of Enga, I reckon are an integral part of Enga. One of the key reasons as I understand which prompted the evolution of this concept was the apparent lack of government servcies in these areas. The way forward is to establsih effective LLGs that are fully resoureced to address the issues and needs of our people. This means, applying pressure on the provincial and national governments to expend resoruces on projects identified by the respective LLGs. However, current political events show that ward councillors have minimal input in the allocation of resources, leaving them at the mercy of the Governor and Council presidents. This is an area that needs to be rectified not only in Enga but elsewhere in the country. The gist of my argument here is that precious time is being wasted on talking about a 'separatist' movement that will never materialise. Rather, time and effort should be expended on developing a poltical framework that will allow the flow of resoruces to LLGs, who will in trun attend to their specific needs and issues of their constituents. Any aspriring Engan post-graudate student in the area of political science and public policy should explore this policy area (decentralisation and development). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
