Papua New Guinea needs stability in government to implement key policies says Public Service Minister Sir Puka Temu.
Sir Puka was speaking in Wabag last week as a guest of honour for Enga Governor Sir Peter Ipatas in officiating national government co-funded projects in the province.
He said constant changes of government affects the progress of the country’s development.
“Stability allows one policy implemented for two or three terms of Parliament will improve the country’s growth.
“This nation has never had a good government to lead the country for two terms of Parliament, like Singapore or Malaysia.
“The O’Neill - Dion Government deserves to lead this country in another term in office for a competent leadership.”
Sir Puka was referring to the progress made by Singapore and Malaysia in the last 41 years in terms of its economy and social progresses.
The parliamentarian representing the people of Abau District said education is the way forward for the country to achieve its full development goals, and Tuition Free Fee (TFF) is the government number one policy.
In the 2017 National Budget, the National Government allocated K602 million to fund its TFF policy.
