Papua New

Guinea elections

Sir

Papua New Guinea will go to the polls in the 1997 National Elections and many colourful peo ple will be contesting the highest politi cal office on the land.

The people are tired of the many

empty promises often given by candi

dates during campaigns and allegations

of bribery in the form of cash payments.

Most citizens would want to see a new, fresh blood of young participants who are God-fearing, dedicated and hon est to lead the country and not those who are self-centred and greedy on taxpayers’ expenses.

I write this letter as one of the intend ing candidates from my electorate of

Yangoru-Saussia in the East Sepik, PNG.

I am confident and have a lot of support from the youth, church group and the vil lage majority.

We hope and pray that 1997 will bring the best leaders into the PNG Parliament.
