Sir John Pundari has reiterated that any leader who seeks to bring about change in the current regime must be free of systemic corruption and dishonesty, emphasizing that individuals who embody these negative traits are unfit for the office of Prime Minister. "A leader who aspires to make a difference must first be clear of corruption and theft. These behaviors have no place in the leadership of our nation, and those who engage in such practices are unfit to govern," said Sir Pundari. He also expressed concern over leaders with authoritarian tendencies, drawing comparisons to figures like Idi Amin of Uganda and Saddam Hussein of Iraq, noting that such leaders, who impose dictatorial control in their regions, are unsuitable to lead a democratic nation like Papua New Guinea. "Leaders who exploit conflicts for personal gain, or who rejoice in the destruction and loss of life, are faceless and unfit for public office. Our nation deserves better," Sir John added. He further emphasized that true leadership is about unity, stating, "A leader who cannot unite their people for peace and stability, or fails to bring fellow leaders from their own province together, cannot unite the nation. True leadership requires authenticity, humility, and a focus on prioritizing the well-being of citizens." As a senior leader from Enga Province, Sir John Pundari expressed his unwavering support for Prime Minister James Marape, stating that he and other leaders have supported Marape through votes of no confidence because they believe stability is crucial for the country's progress. “With only two years remaining before the next general elections, it is important to continue standing by Prime Minister Marape. The people of Papua New Guinea will decide who they want as their next leader at the ballot box," he said. Concluding his statement, Sir John affirmed, "As a senior leader in support of Prime Minister Marape, I will always prioritize my district's and the nation's interests over personal gain. I remain steadfast in my support and will offer advice whenever needed."
