Jackson Kiakari, a candidate for the Port Moresby Northwest by election highlights a point that may not be as audible to everyone.
If you watched his video campaign he said he has no money to buy votes.
In fact he stressed he does not believe that offering money or gifts to anyone and getting votes turn out well as far as development was concerned.
An important subtle point that protuded was that voters must own elections.
What does that mean?
Rather than voters asking politicians for money, voters must own elections by giving them cash to campaign or providing any necessary support.
The support should be influenced by policies and ideals of the candidate and the return for this is equal service delivery- not individual handouts.
Its time we take this course and own elections- not candidates and political parties owning us.
