Marape directly addressed the nation’s leadership, particularly the small percentage of public servants and politicians consuming a large portion of the national budget, urging them to seek forgiveness and dedicate themselves to the country. “If you and I are truly in love with our country, say sorry today and give your life to God for the service of this nation,” he said.
Reiterating the day’s theme of repentance, reconciliation, and national reset, Marape emphasized that transformation must start with personal accountability and extend to families, communities, and public offices. He called for honesty, humility, and transparency in all aspects of governance.
The Prime Minister also formally revoked the corruption curse he had declared years ago, telling Ps Joseph Walters: “I withdraw the curse against corruption that I made seven years ago.”
Marape’s speech highlighted the importance of leadership integrity and the nation’s commitment to growth as Papua New Guinea approaches its 50th year of independence.
