The news is out, and even MP Gore can’t deny it. The very Minister who wears the modest meri blouses sees nothing wrong in spending huge amounts of public money putting up LLG presidents in her rural district at the grandest hotel Moresby can provide. Is this not a form of legal bribery? Is this not a gross example of the “legal corruption” that an article in PNG blogs talked about just last week and which seems to have spread throughout the government? Does this Grand Payment not fit the “I don’t have to play by the rules” attitude that Minister Gore displayed to the nation a few months back when she wouldn’t turn off her mobile phone in the airplane taking off from Popondetta? Being that the hotel accommodation receipts are now available on the record and presumably Gary Juffa would present the proof if the story is denied, Mrs Gore was trapped. Still, she did as any good politician will attempt. She tried to verbally wiggle and squirm around the truth by not refuting the claim itself, but doing side talk and trying to change the subject. Thus, Mrs Gore began by saying that she wasn’t involved in the Oro Province governorship struggle and that her bringing the 4 LLG presidents to Port Moresby had nothing to do with Juffa and was misinterpreted. Fine, Mrs Gore, explanation accepted. But we’re asking about the excessive cost of those hotel rooms! 4 LLG presidents, 4 nights at the Grand Papua Hotel = K17,313,48 That’s K1082 PER NIGHT PER PERSON for these rural people!
