People’s Platform – Palau 2008 and Beyond

Social development through the political process by letting the people take the lead in articulating forth the issues important to them- The People’s Platform

PALAU’S TRADITIOCRACY AND CAPITALISM

Kambes and friends,

Your appearance on OTV with Dr Kuartei was a good start of a platform and discussion
that is long overdue. Dr Kuartei quoted articles in our constitution and was correct in doing so but may i suggest a brief history lesson here.  Our constitution was written with a strong influence from the US and one can easily tell by the type of government structure we operate in. We then proceeded to merge our traditional values and customs unto it and since its inception, these two pillars have conflicted many times over with no clear definition and to this day, even our leaders are clearly lost in between.
