My dear Rai Coast citizens, please be advised that I’m not resting in a rocking hammock and sipping lemonade under a coconut palm tree by the beach. Nor am I living a “high life” and forgetting the law & order situation as some of you are alleging. As per my earlier post, the Rai Coast law & order issues are decade-old and complex. Inaction by past MPs has exacerbated the conflicts. I’m doing my best in just 3 days of being officially sworn in as an MP to deal with the issues. The only thing I promised our people during my campaign is “honesty”. And you will 100% get the value of “honesty” from me. – Kessy Sawang.
My dear Rai Coast citizens, please be advised that I’m not resting in a rocking hammock and sipping lemonade under a coconut palm tree by the beach.
Nor am I living a “high life” and forgetting the law & order situation as some of you are alleging.
As per my earlier post, the Rai Coast law & order issues are decade-old and complex.
Inaction by past MPs has exacerbated the conflicts. I’m doing my best in just 3 days of being officially sworn in as an MP to deal with the issues.
The only thing I promised our people during my campaign is “honesty”. And you will 100% get the value of “honesty” from me.
Here’s what I did today:
▪ Meeting with partners for energizing our District using off-grid clean energy at community & household level;
▪ Meeting with PNG-Israel Jewish Council to discuss how we can utilize technology to address some of our development challenges;
▪ Meeting with Secretary Vaki, Deputy Secretary and an room-full of DIRD staff, discussing how we can improve development & service standards of our District;
▪ I was honored to have been invited by the visiting Foreign Minister of Australia Senator Penny Wong to meet her and discuss issues;
▪ Had good discussion with ACP Northern Command Peter Guiness about law & order issues;
▪ Communicated with CID Inspector Yalamu in Madang;
▪ Had discussions with various people in Rai Coast and Nankina area to gather intel and information;
▪ Liaised with DA to have at least 2 policemen from Madang sent to Saidor as the terror Hetwara gang are said to be mobilizing to attack Saidor Station;
▪ Researched and sought professional advice on how we can empower community resistant groups to protect their communities;
▪ Thought out plan of action and wrote article titled “Breaking the Cycle of Terror & Suffering” and posted on social media for your consumption.
Tonight, I’m documenting critical issues that I will ask relevant Ministers during the week, starting from my very first day in Parliament, so your voice can be heard in Parliament.
I don’t have a media officer, I write myself. I don’t have a driver, I drive myself. I do laundry, clean the house, go to shop or market and I cook myself. Here’s my simple dinner for tonight [fried kalapua].
Give some empathy.
2022 – 2027 is my watch. I need your prayers, love and patience. Judge me later.
