PETER O' NEIL AND HIS BANANA REPUBLIC

The standoff between a small faction of the Royal Papua New Guinea Defense Force (PNGDF) and the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary Force (Police) on Saturday, 6th of December 2014 in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, highlighted the lack of respect and command within both discipline forces. The issues to the root cause of this lies deep, however I will try at best to highlight what I think is a major cause to all this.

J-Mart Supermarket at Taurama Foodland was looted on Saturday. 

The lack of respect for command in the army was evident when even the Commanding officer of PNGDF Brig. Gilbert Toropo from Southern Highlands could not even control his men at a roundabout circle (next to PNG Motors) on the Hubert Murray Highway in Port Moresby. He was directly standing in the centre of the roundabout, which is about 4 meters wide in diameter when the soldiers a few meters away from him (standing adjacent to the Murray Barracks single quarters) were attempting to stop a police vehicle with intentions to burn and cause serious injuries to a lone senior police officer and his family. Luckily, for the police officer, he and his family escaped through quick thinking and reactions from him. The vehicle almost overturned, at Murray Barracks residential gates on the Hubert Murray Highway, the load leading to Boroko but it was by luck that the police officer escaped the clutches of death. Standing some meters away was the top military man in PNG who, the public witnessed at hand how he was shunned and was not even accorded the courtesy or respect of command as the events unfolded. Whilst these were taking place, opportunitists’ were looting the J-Mart shopping centre at Taurama Foodland.

Turning our attention to the police, they are no better then the army, they have been involved and are despised by the civilian population for breaching human rights, murdering and causing serious harm to the civilian population. There structure of command is all over the place with factions supporting a political appointed commander whilst others are supporting the legitimate commander on merit. They are the most despised people in Papua New Guinea.

The problems of lack of command and dysfunctional systems in both disciplinary forces have come about because of one man’s greed to steal and remain in Power. Peter O’ Neill the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea is the man behind all these problems. He has strategically placed his people without due regard to good governance principles in core areas. As such, it was envisaged that such problems would burst when it has reached a boiling point where it can no longer keep a lid over the trail of lies, betrayal, and political maneuvering done for the sake of remaining in power and stealing the country’s wealth. It has been shown evidently by the conduct of the disciplinary forces as well as the public’s show of outrage over how they perceive the country to be going.

The solution is for Belden Namah to use the army now, during this standoff to topple this greedy government. The time is right with 100% of the population supporting the army as such if Namah strategically plays his card right he may possible get hold of our beautiful country to set our paths straight for prosperity.
