Papua New Guinea got Independence at right timing but the nation's resources management have been having problems in regarding public organization's management for last more than forty years. These days most Papua New Guinea leaders of both elected and appointed are not following democratic principles to managing the public collective resources is a real aspect of the corruption situation in PNG.
Self-government to Indepence was too short. Should have allowed for at least a 30 to 50 year transition prior to independence. It amazing to realize that our people at the time in their capacity did object the idea of independence.
