There
are rumors at the corridors of Waigani and Mendi/Tari that the proposed
45km road from Hiri (Margarima) to Lai Valley will be out on Tender
soon. From public hear-say which appears to be reliable, someone has
already been identified to be the successful bidder and possible
contractor. Its not a surprise as this is common in SHP/Hela and PNG.
My concern is there has been many complains about Hela's falling victim
to those living along the corridors of Mendi-Tari road. Many
intellectuals and concerned Hela elites have been very vocal for an
alternative route to isolate certain areas of the current road.
If the identified contactor is awarded the contract, the dream of
having alternative road will never eventuate as this company to be
awarded appears to be politically linked and the plight for the people
of Hela will be allowed to die a political death in the face of
corruptions and wantok system.
2013 must be a year for all Hela's to rise and put their respective MP's
including the governor on notice now. So many media propaganda must die
in 2012 if Hela is to rise with a new vision and purpose. If Hela
doesn't rise within the next five years then lets not criticize others
because part of the problem is us - appointing leaders whose interest in
not Hela but themselves......
Happy new year 2013 to you all
from the tip of Agali Village (Lake Kopiago) to the plains of
Musual/Waliago village (Bosavi) to the frontiers of Toan/Obal-Lower
Wage.
