You cannot but I can?

How can this pollie say such a thing when it is well known that polygamy is an accepted practice in the region. Correct me but I think a couple of MP’s have more than one wife.

It’s similar to the gun issue… disarm the public but not the pollies.

Sex outside marriage is risky behaviour
By PETER PIA and NOEL BERRY

SEX before marriage in young life is dangerous as it involves high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS amongst the school-aged youngsters, Wabag MP and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Migration Samuel Abal said last week.
Mr Abal, who attended several graduation ceremonies of different schools in Wabag, said having sexual affairs while at school was very risky as their lives are in real danger.
He told the students attending Wabag Secondary and Birip Primary schools not to have sex outside of marriage because they have a long way to go in life.
“I do not want to see the population of Wabag and Papua New Guinea decrease just like I noticed recently in Uganda in African when I visited there.
“The population in the 30-40 age group in Uganda was wiped out as a consequence of being infected with HIV virus.
“Let us look after ourselves,” said Mr Abal.
“You must be seriously thinking about your life, education and future. It’s now time to change your attitudes and say no to HIVAIDS,” Mr Abal said.
Meanwhile, he revealed that some of the run-down aid posts and health centers in the district would be funded to help people fight against HIVAIDS and other diseases.
He said he would allocate funds to rehabilitate and build new aid posts to ensure every community was fully aware of HIV/AIDS.
“I am very concerned that many people in Papua New Guinea were living and dying from HIV/AIDS so let us be warned and have sex only within marriage,” he said.
