Jeffery Nape should be next Prime Minister

Next Prime Minister??
Mr Nape, whilst he is my hero, should for all intents and purposes be declared clinically schizophrenic. I don't even think he knows what he's going to do next, but it will be interesting I'm fairly certain of that. Sure he's made some dubious calls in favour of the now-deposed Somare/Abal govt.

And whilst Belden and company made noise about blatantly disregarding the Constitution etc etc, legal redress was always available to them to challenge the validity but they declined to so is there a degree of hypocrisy from the now opposition that Mr "No Idea" Nape has woke up one day and decided that there is a vacancy so we can go straight to court? Any layman/woman that clearly can see when looking at Section 142 that Peter O'Neill and company cannot stand on any leg and rely on it to validate his election as PM, and it smacks of smugness and arrogance that the new PM or new AG has not come out to the media and stated unequivocally that everything was carried out in accordance with the constitution, and the election is legitimate.

Now whilst the argument can be put forth that the previous govt used their numerical strength to bulldoze legislation and parliamentary procedures etc is all in the past now, and the people that matter- the people of PNG, for whom these gentlemen (i use the term "gentlemen" loosely) were voted into office, need to know that the rule of law is supreme and that proper procedures have been followed. Now I'm sure that Peter O'Neill  and his crew are working overtime in trying to find a legal technicality that will see them remain in power for the next 9 months but I'm fairly certain the Supreme Court will invalidate the whole thing.

Until that happens though, there is a presumption of legitimacy in the events that occurred and until such time as the court rules otherwise O'Neill is our PM. To add another twist to this political circus, word on the ground is that the Grand Chief will be back in PNG within the next couple of weeks. Now won't that just put another spanner in the works! He'll turn up and ask just when the vacancy in the office of PM was legally declared, and provided the amazing Mr Nape is lucid, he will say he woke up one day and decided that the office of PM was vacant. Sir Michael will ask, and under what law did you decide to declare this Jeffrey? Umm...aahh...sori boss. Imbecile.

Whilst the Somare led govt was rocked with a number of scandals and seemed to be aided and abetted fully by Mr Nape in allegedly circumventing parliamentary procedures and constitutional requirements, that does not give the right for Messrs Namah and Co. to clearly disregard the requirements of the constitution in electing the PM, using orchestrated tactics and NA instability to lure (flaky) but disgruntled MP's across the floor. A well played coup nonetheless.

We will see what the courts say, and don't people find it interesting that the country's most senior and respected politicians like Sir J, Sir Mek, Bart etc are standing in the background staying silent? Sir J gave a wishy washy statement that Abal & Company are just getting one back for the 9 years that numerical strength in govt. reigned supreme. Excuse me Sir J, were you not one of the country's founding pillars? Did you quote any law? You and Sir Mek know the constitution, you are former Prime Minister's, but yet are just standing quietly in the background behind these young, arrogant political upstarts that think that the constitution can be used as their doormat.

Well done you two, I applaud you for your political wisdom and guidance and complicit acquiescence in the fundamental breach of the supreme law which you swore to uphold as Prime Minister's of this country. But I digress, its no use agitating as we have a PM and cabinet until the courts say otherwise and it will be interesting and perhaps comical to see what happens, especially with regard to our political genius speaker Mr Jeffrey Nape. Jeffrey will go down in our short history as one of our most intriguing and mercurial politicians, and I reckon he should be our next PM!

    The above commentary had a hand in Somare's unceremonious termination. Stupidly calculated.

PNG, VERY RICH YET STILL A VERY VERY POOR COUNTRY

Image
by GARY MONDULAME Papua New Guinea (PNG), a nation blessed with abundant natural resources, continues to grapple with economic challenges that belie its potential wealth. The nation's economic narrative is a paradox—rich in resources yet burdened by poverty. The explanation for this paradox lies not only in economic mismanagement but also in deep-seated corruption that has permeated the political landscape since independence in 1975. Following its independence from Australia, PNG was entrusted to leaders who lacked a vision for a holistic national development. This absence of foresight is evident from the lack of long-term development plans that could have distributed the country’s wealth fairly across all regions and communities. Successive governments failed to establish foundational strategies such as building satellite townships or creating robust rural housing schemes. Instead, they resorted to short-term, reactive measures that did not foster sustainable growth. The nascent l

HIGHLANDS FRAUD F*CKS RUNNING GOVERNMENT AGENCY,,,

Image
A Fraudster and unqualified person has been shortlisted for NEC submission for the position of CEPA Managing Director. The candidate in question is Jude Tukulyia. His academic credentials are subject to scrutiny. Further investigation is required to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of his qualifications, particularly the reported diploma in accounting, Bachelor of Laws, MBA from Divine Word and UPNG respectively. It is very suspicious and unprofessional  when the Minister for Environment Conservation and Climate Change, Hon Simo Kilepa, wrote to UPNG Vice Chancellor asking to confirm Jude’s questioned education qualifications. This very due diligence work is the core responsibility of the Public Service Commission and Department of Personnel Management. What authority does the portfolio minister have to write to the Universities? Dumbfounding indeed if one asks. Ulterior motives written all over the letter. This amounts to  Questionable Academic Qualifications of Mr Tukulyia.

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND, WHY THE PNG ECONOMY STILL SUCKS

Image
Elizabeth Genia, Acting Governor Bank of PNG (BPNG) by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN The economy of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is at a crucial juncture. Despite some signs of recovery, the country faces several structural challenges that continue to impede its economic progress. The March 2024 Monetary Policy Statement from the Bank of Papua New Guinea sheds light on these issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the economic landscape and the policy responses being implemented to navigate through these turbulent times. In 2023, PNG's economy grew by a modest 1.4%, a significant slowdown from the 5.2% growth witnessed in 2022. This tepid growth is largely attributed to delays in major projects and ongoing economic issues that have not been fully resolved. The anticipated growth for 2024 is around 3.0%, buoyed by the resumption of production at the Porgera gold mine. While this marks an improvement, it remains subdued compared to the potential of this resource-rich nation. One of the mo

AUGUSTINE MANO PNG'S PREMIER CORPORATE CROOK

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN In a significant setback for Mineral Resources Development Corporation (MRDC), the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has dismissed the company's appeal to stop criminal investigations into its dealings with landowner funds held in the Pacific Balance Fund (PBF). The court ruled that MRDC's appeal was an "abuse of process" and ordered the company to pay costs of the proceedings. MRDC, a unit holder in PBF, had taken legal action against the National Court's decision to dismiss its case, arguing that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter. However, the Supreme Court disagreed and held that MRDC's appeal was nothing more than an attempt to interfere with the police's criminal investigative process. The court found that MRDC had no authority to conducted its own investigation into the activities of the Melanesian Trustee Services Limited (MTSL), the fund manager of PBF, and that its actions were in violation of the Trust Deed

James Marape's Missteps Openly Exposed at Australian Forum

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN  In a recent event that highlighted the complexities of international diplomacy and governance, Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister, James Marape, faced a challenging situation during his appearance at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia. The Lowy Institute, known for its role as an independent think tank focusing on international policy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, provided a platform for a candid assessment of Marape's governance. Following his formal address, Marape engaged in a dialogue with Dr. Michael Fullilove AM, the Executive Director of the Institute. Dr. Fullilove, a respected figure in public and international policy, scrutinized Marape's past promises and statements, contrasting them with the current state of affairs in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The discussion took a critical turn as Dr. Fullilove revisited Marape's 2019 speech at the same venue, where Marape had outlined his vision for PNG in a speech titled “A New Boo

MARAPE & PAITA ABOUT TO SIGN AWAY PNG GOLD

Image
By: Andrew Arthur Prime Minister Hon. James Marape and his planning minister Reinbo Paita are the parties behind the theft of all Papua New Guinea’s gold for the next 100 years! They have given approval for the STATE of Papua New Guinea to sign away all gold rights to an Australian paper company in Refinery Holdings PTE LTD. First, they have done the deal with a paper company even before there is a LAW that says they have the right to do the deal. We see how the real manipulation works out. Marape and Paita now need to get the law passed by Parliament. The law is before the Parliament to set up Papua New Guinea’s first National Gold Corporation. The National Gold Corporation Bill first surfaced in 2012 but successive Government of Sir Michael Somare and Hon. Peter O’Neill, in their wisdom, had refused to pass this Bill as there have been some sinister motives and constitutional issues associated with the Bill. The new bill will allow Refinery Holdings LTD PTE to own 70% of the National
