COMPLIANCE TO GOOD GOVERNANCE AND RULE OF LAW

Kandep MP, Don Pomb Polye said he had legacy of upholding compliance to good governance, rule of law and forgiving one and other with love and compassion. He was speaking during the swearing-in occasion.

He was present to witness the occasion.

This committee, he said, is no different as it is part of its leadership.

The committee, he said, has only four months to deliver services to the people before the next elections,

Mr Polye said the establishment of the committee would not only ensure they address governance issues. 

Further, he said contractors delivered works to high standards and with value for money.

He said they flew committee members  in from the electorate at the request of the NPC.

Furthermore, he said NPC officials could not return to Enga for this.

Polye has been in office for only two months and 17 days. That is since his reinstatement by the National Court of Disputed Returns as the duly elected MP in April. https://www.thenational.com.pg/polye-back-as-kandep-mp/
