Businesses scared to support Opposition: Basil

Deputy Opposition Leader Sam Basil says many business houses are too afraid of the National Government.

The local Bulolo MP, who heads one of the country’s oldest political parties - Papua and New Guinea Pati (Pangu) made this comment today.

Basil told Loop PNG despite not many business houses purchasing tables for Pangu’s fundraising dinner in Lae, the fundraiser will still be held on Saturday.

“Many business houses are scared to support parties in the Opposition,” the Pangu parliamentary leader said.

“Also the bad economy situation is making it hard for businesses to support such fundraisers.” 

Basil said the country is at a crossroad and the Opposition is putting its hands up to pull the nation out of this current economy downfall.
