NAMORONG REPORT: #PNG's Planning Dept threatens Sharpie

Thursday, July 5, 2012

#PNG's Planning Dept threatens Sharpie

An administrator of influential Papua New Guinea Facebook Group Sharp Talk has her job under threat for comments made regarding the Government Department she works for. The highly corrupt Planning Department that mismanages PNG's development budget has threatened to sack Natasha Panta.

The attack at Natasha is regarded as a threat against social media commentators, democracy and freedom of speech by a rogue arm of the PNG Government.

BELOW IS THE THREAD FROM SHARP TALK REGARDING THE MATTER

----------------------------------------------

Natascious Natasha

A thread on speculation about my removal from work was removed... While it is possible and heading that way, I don't want your sympathy or comfort... It's a personal matter for me to deal with... I criticized my own organization and I'm aware of the consequences... I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILTY FOR MY OWN VIEWS... At this juncture and as admin I wish to stress that while it is democratic right to express your views, be responsible for them. It is a personal matter so my possible termination from work is NOT TO BE DISCUSSED ON THIS FORUM...

- Aiixq X-Man To all those you cared for the development of our country, I am a colleague of Natasha who thinks Natasha went too far from us to consult and look for solutions which she thinks we lack. While I appreciate the idea behind this sharp talk, the manner Natasha discussed this is completely unacceptable.....I am ready to clarify the issues which Natasha doesn't even know abt aid coordination and aid effectiveness n you guys can provide your valuable inputs rather than criticisms....after all it's not an overnight process..

- Anton Lutz there is dangerous precedent of people feeling forced to 'go along to get along'... to 'not rock the boat'... to keep the mouth wide open and the voice wide shut. are we in a nation where its dangerous to tell the truth? are we stupid for keeping our mouths closed, or for opening them?! my hat is off to you, sister. if no one stands up to this trend now- the corruption of the common man- we doom our children to a hellish future. viva integrity!

- Lapaia Ilima Termination for your views or for being critical. Thats ridiculus, this is suppose to be a democracy not a communist state..Whoever is behind it, tell him or her, thats a cheap shot, there are better things and bigger problems for the country for the department to focus on in terms of its functions.

- Vincent Moses Whoever made this decision....department head or colleague. If you are not mature enough to accept criticism either from within or outside your org, I feel sorry for you. I also feel sorry for the future of PNG and the future generations. This country will not change or develop with this kind of attitude where we are comfortable maintaining the status quo. PNG and not Natasha is the ultimate loser here.....so sad.

- Aiixq X-Man It's not too dangerouse to tell the truth in this country coz you will get the support from those that cannot speak up...I fully understand that! But Natasha as a prof colleague of mine should consult us internally and if you can figured that out, it's all to do with internal issues, which we can handle. We are consulting here and there in the office and with donors plus other gov't agencies to see things through and for a colleague to come out and criticise unfairly like this is totally unacceptable. We are not threatening anyone to hide our incompetencies or whatever, there is a proper channel to address this issue. @ Natasha, you generalized FAD but who exactly in FAD is your dumb???? I hope you and your intellectual country men & women here understands aid coordination and aid effectiveness well b4 you criticised DNPM for it's effort in making sure we coordinate well and make aid more effective. It's not DNPM alone will take this trough..

- Aiixq X-Man Copeland; I really appreciate your "talk aut tok stret" But if she can't tokaut tokstret lo mipla as a colleague but to go on to ST and make comments that degrade our capabilities, in what position can you come in and assist. She will know well how to provide some intellectual ideas than bringing up to you guys that only give criticism and didn't even provide the solutions to the issues raised. Your discussions from aid coordination & aid effectiveness, you guys went straight to say dumbs to DNPM officer, we were in by wantok system, we are to be kicked out...etc,,,,what kind of intellectual contributions you will make? That's were Natasha made a big mistake.....

- Vincent Moses So it is now wrong to discuss and analyse ineffectiveness of govt departments? Accept public criticism and become better. Whether it is social media or mainstream media, it makes no difference. Issues need to be discussed openly, then people hopefully might see the need to change, otherwise, there will never be any change and the status quo will continue to be maintained. I think it is about time ALL issues including aid effectiveness are brought out in the open and openly discussed!!

- Aiixq X-Man Joshua, she has not been terminated yet...if the management is not too happy, she will have a point to prove, man. Man that's how we work in a coordinating agency, you consult first. I didn't cry for Natasha by passed me, coz she has nothing to provide me or my colleagues. I am not insecure at all, my position is not given to my by birth rite, ok! I av a life to leave after that coz I am not a looser. I av come to far to be in this department and we worked tireless nites for our country....Natasha touched the wrong people tha's why we are having this debate. You tell us what can you offer after your criticism...

- Vincent Moses If it was a personal attack on a colleague including name calling etc. then it is wrong. However, if it is a general observation and criticism of the way things are done then I don't see anything wrong with it.

That's my principle I got if from JFK....my country doesn't even owe mi at all...I do it for my country in whatever small ways in terms of my contribution to move this country forward...I deserve no recognition, I am doing this for the future generation...you tell me how smart are you in what m doing, you are shit and shallow minded yourself...I will not b accountable for Natasha's termination if she ever gets it. It will be a management decision so you can go to hell...

  I have worked under 2 successive Australian admins and see why there are complaints on how their aid is spent.
  
  Nowhere did I mention the trite term "Wantoks system"
  
  We need a style, maybe being Open, Honest and Accountable will help.
  
  Communicating does help.

- Michael Midiwabu Its a good idea to take it higher up for a fix to occur, however in this part of the world, little or nothing may eventuate as a result. We need a change and if we can't take the analysis of ourselves from someone else in good faith, we will not change at all and not improve for the better.
  CHANGE and don't waste time justifying your stances whatever they maybe because CHANGE for the better will never take place and nothing will improve as a result.
  Genuine, honest and humble people will take criticisms openly and work towards improvement and eventual progress for overall benefit. Retorts, threats and penalties to criticisms achieve NOTHING!
  Sapos trasis or skot bilong yu buruk na wanpela toksave long yu long dispela long eye bilong ol man, yu ken paitim korosim em tasol buruk long kolos bilong yu istap yet. Yu yet sem na senisim trasis or skot, bai yu yet e orait.
  JUST FIX WHATEVER IS DEEMED AS A PROBLEM SO THIS COUNTRY TRULY PROGRESSES AND DEVELOPS!
