These people were forgotten for years due to general neglect and Hetwara Gang conflict. They live in the most remote and hard-to-reach areas deep in the heart of the Finisterre.

By the grace of YAH, we opened airstrips (thanks RAA) and partnered with MAF, SIL, NTM 💙 for flights (we love you). Oh and there’s No More HWG!

If we save just 1 life, one mother, one baby, give sight to just 1 person, still OK, coz just 1 life matters!

Yeshua left 99 & still went searching for just 1 life! … See MoreSee Less

Thanks Member/Minister for the heart felt expressions by your people on just a basic service that have been neglected for years. Thats the way forward Leader. You taught that you have touched 1 live but it will have a ripple effect… keep up the good work…Cheers

Powerful testimony MP.. you doing great for your people .. God bless

"Great job, Hon. Kessy Sawang, MP! Your dedication and commitment to serving the people, especially in rural communities, is truly inspiring. We need more women in politics and high leadership positions because they bring strong, inclusive, and transformative leadership. When women lead, there is greater focus on social development, healthcare, and education, which are crucial for the growth of our nation. Your efforts prove that women are just as capable—if not more—of driving meaningful change. Keep being the voice for the voiceless and paving the way for future female leaders!"

Price of goods and services are skyrocketing and yet Minister is still on the review national minimum wage,if you concerning about people life you suppose to FastTrack you work…

Please create a feedback form or survey online (e.g. survey monkey), which will be the cheapest and easiest way to quickly obtain and measure feedback. Stop wasting tax payers money on officers on hire cars , airplane tickets and hotels only to go to few towns which can only obtain < 20% of the entire workforce feedback. The people who are really going to be providing feedback will be at work and won't have time to travel to locations where you intend to hold your feedback sessions. Think about those that are working in remote parts of the country, I do not think you'll reach them to get their perspectives. Technology is here, more than ~80% of working class have access to a laptop or smart phone which they can use to provide their feedback. Just 2 toea Tingting tasol blo skelim our good minister . Thanks for consulting public on this very important agenda though, definitely not gone unnoticed.

How can a mandated leader come down low saying, IF YOU CAN'T BE PART OF THE PROCESS, DON'T COME COMPLAINING ON FACEBOOK. There are responsible authorities in each Provinces where you as a responsible Leader and your department can deal with them in this regard. You better edit your statement
