BUSINESSMAN Vs The MEDIA GOVERNOR

HE is better known in the Morobe political and business circles but the day had to arrive when Mathew Minape decided he will return to the land of his ancestors – Enga – for the big one.

Minape hopes to end the unbroken run of “action governor” Peter Ipatas in the Enga regional seat.
His message to the people is simple: “When Engans do not vote for Ipatas, they are saving the future of Enga.”

The Lae-based Enga businessman is confident of causing a major upset in the election and has named Ipatas as his enemy number one, labelling him the “media governor”.
He said Ipatas used the media in particular EMTV and other print media to replay his outdated education programme for his own political gain.

Minape challenged the main media organisations to be balanced and report fairly.
He asked the media to visit places such as Kompiam, Kandep and Porgera where road infrastructure and law and order were deteriorating.

“There is no basic medicine at Laiagam and Kandep health centres.
“There was nothing to compare in the last 17 years when Governor Peter Ipatas was in power – as acting governor for two years and three-term as governor,” he said.

He described the Ipatas Foundation as a false scheme which only catered for a few schools.
He said: “The foundation is a total waste of taxpayers money from the people of Enga.
“A lot of elites who benefited from the foundation never came back to the province.

“A lot of elite Engan went through the foundation are currently working in other parts of the country because they are scared and don’t want to be killed in the lawless province.
“The money invested in Ipatas Foundation is the people’s money and not Ipatas’ money.
“And as a governor, it is his responsibility to ensure his people are educated.
“I was runner-up to prominent Lae citizen and local Bart Philemon on two occasions and third in one.
“Now I have decided to return to my roots to push for the change of leadership and the change for Enga people,” he said.

  1. Mathew Minape is no better than The "Action Governor".
    In fact, Minape is a shrewed and crooked businessman with a lot of crooked deals under his belt than Ipatas. I hope Engans will not lose their mind to vote for this crook.
