Massive Corruption in Komo Margarima DSIP Accounts Uncovered

PHILIP PUTAIJA

There is a clear misuse of public funds which is indicated clearly on the Bank records (attached) of the Komo Margarima District Account. Millions of Kina from the district account has been diverted into the Acting District Managers personal account for personal use, which we believe is done in consultation or with the knowledge of the local Member of Parliament. The Acting District Manager should be terminated, arrested and locked behind bars for an investigation to begin.

We write to your office expressing the concern of the huge misappropriation which occured in the Komo Margarima funds in a short span of time, 2007 2010. This Acting District Administrator for Komo Margarima District has terribly mismanaged the district funds. He illegally did direct fund transfers, made huge withdrawals over the counter under his own name, converting huge amounts of money into bank Cheques to direct transfers to PNG Construction Ltd, a company purportedly owned by the local member of Parliament and many others he and the local MP has personal interests.

We know the National Anti-Corruption Alliance will help fight this corruption in the use of Komo Margarima funds so that normalcy will return and that is why we make this presentation to your office.

It is therefore our hope and wish that this officer is brought before the law and that we want investigations carried out sooner the better and the member for Komo Margarima should be included in this investigation. We further wish to request that the following Accounts to be frozen as you begin your investigation:-

IMPORTANT NOTE:
a. The accumulative figure of the little amount being drawn from his personal Account day by day is nearly  K26,000.00. Note that the officer had been living on peoples monies while being suspended from the public services payroll.

b. I refer you to the Gross Misuse which contains in the four (4) pages Bank Statements attached herein. You find Bank Cheques were made to PNG Construction Ltd by Tumbi Yari from his personal Account and two (2) of the District Accounts. Why from his personal account?

c. You also find payments made by PNG Construction Ltd made to Mr Yaris personal account. What are they for, bribery?

d. You also find various other deposits made by unknown people into his personal account, are they bribery?

Please, investigate the direct Bank Cheques transfers into PNG Construction Ltd Account- 1000874712. If the PNG Construction Ltd was engaged for projects, cheques would not have been drawn in big amounts. Also direct transfers of funds are totally not allowed by Finance Management Act. There are no evidences of Tenders Board Approval of a certain project which would be executed by PNG Construction Ltd nor the JDP and BPC meeting being held to have the direct transfers of public funds. Where and when the PNG Construction Ltd executed the projects worth the millions of Kina being directly transferred above, no-one knows.

Further note that, specific reference should be made to the following which Tumbi Yari is involved:-
Investigate all direct transfers to the same Account on the 14th of December 2009. (Beneficiary Account to PNG Construction Ltd). Investigate the cheques cashed by Tumbi Yari- Cheque Numbers- 16884,16881,16885,16882 and 16883.
The above cheques were cashed on the 15th of December 2009,the total amount is K 230,000.00 and directly transferred into Tumbi Yaris personal Account(1000908301).
There was another cheque number 16879 was directly transferred into Tumbi Yaris personal Account, investigate it. Investigate the K 2,000,000.00 Cheque Number 16869 which was directly transferred to Tumbi Yaris personal Account from the Komo Margarima District Treasury and Operating Account.
Again, from what we all know, there was a never a JDP and BPC been conducted or had there been any of the local Construction Companies bided for the projects through the Tenders Board in the district. The people know that the very established procedures were not followed in spending the Komo Margarima funds.
Even if the JDP and BPC had been conducted, it is a question of if the JDP and BPC would advice Tumbi Yari to go ahead to have all the funds deposited into his personal Account and do huge personal withdrawals at his own will and convinience.

We believe Tumbi Yari has terribly breached the established Finance Management Act by illegal self withdrawals, direct transfers of huge amounts of money from the various accounts into his personal account.
Sir, we can all see that there was a Gross Misuse of public funds and his Management of District Funds should therefore be thoroughly investigated and he should be referred to law.

You will further note that all the funds from the District Treasury will be Drawn Under His Personal Name, instead of drawing funds under the title as District Administrator, there were direct transfers of funds from the various Accounts into Tumbi Yaris Account, there were direct transfers from the DSIP and District Treasury Operating Account to the PNG Construction Ltd and we believe these warrant him (Tumbi Yari) to be investigated and charged.

In this submission, we present to your office the following:-
Our Statement of facts ;
Bank Statements(2x)
I kindly ask you please to conduct the investigation as we see the case to be extremely serious.
