Martha has been an advocate, inter alia, of the principles of natural justice which are deeply enshrined in the Constitution of PNG, with the fundamental classic “Justice must not only be done but be seen to be done.” Her drive for justice is informed by her Christian belief that God is the God of justice, hence, she believes that the founding Forefathers of Papua New Guinea, led by late Grand Chief, Sir Michael Thomas Somare were wise to pledge for ourselves and to take ownership of Christian principles along with our noble traditions. On 7^th October 2020, Martha was sworn in as a Commissioner to the Constitutional & Law Reform Commission, ushering in a new era.
