Leadership accountability become the number one national priority in Papua New Guinea

Commentary

By: Anthony KalaiAnthony Kalai – Ethical leadership & anti-corruption advocate

Billions of kina in public funds have been wasted over the years with little to no accountability.

Instead of issuing media statements that only serve as political distractions, we need to hear serious calls for forensic audits, dismissals, criminal investigations, arrests, prosecutions, jail terms, and the recovery of stolen public assets.

Too much talking without action has destroyed the credibility and legitimacy of leadership in this country.

We cannot continue to defend failure and expect progress. Accountability is not revenge. It is the foundation of trust, good governance, and development.

Personally, I would like to see a completely new face with integrity and a heart for the people lead this country.

Many talk smart in parliament under the comfort and protection of public resources, but when stripped of those privileges, their true character is revealed.

Leadership should never be about power and privilege. It should be about service, sacrifice, and results for the people.
