Fair distribution of funding to all provinces in the country will continue to unite this multi-cultural and multi-lingual nation.
Papua New Guinea’s first Prime Minister, Sir Michael Somare, made these comments when addressing people who attended the National Party dinner in Port Moresby last week.
“It is true that some provinces desire more autonomous provincial governments but we will remain a united Papua New Guinea if our leadership continues to equitably distribute our country’s wealth and provide better standards of service to our people.
“If leaders discriminate and deprive members of what their people are entitled to under the Constitution, this will be our undoing,” Sir Michael said.
