The conduct of behavior of security personnel during the National 2022 elections will determine the nation’s future, Deputy Police Commissioner for operations Anton Billie says “The future of PNG is in your hands. Give our people the confidence, safety and security they deserve so that they can confidently and without fear or favor vote in the leaders of their choice. When good leaders are in office the nation will rejoice and be blessed”.
Billie said on Friday during the launching of the security election operation in Kerema that police personnel must provide a conducive environment for voters. “I call upon every member of the security force in Gulf Province to do their job with honesty ad sincerity. Do not take bribes. Do not allow illegal activities to take place. You have a duty first to your people to do the right thing”.
“Every Papua New Guinean of voting age is expected to make a vote that will determine their future. Give your votes wisely. Elect leaders without expecting any personal benefits or reward in return. For far too long greed and corruption has taken precedence over the people and the adverse effect are faced by you and I daily. We cannot blame anyone. Leaders are only chosen by the people and we are partly to be blamed. The 2022 national elections present us the opportunity to decide where we will be in the next five years. We just came out from Coronavirus pandemic and are experiencing the rising cost of living. I’m urging every citizens of Gulf to take ownership of this election and work with the police to deliver a free, fair and safe 2022 national elections in a few months’ time”.
