Solicitor General Devete & co conspired with law firm to rip claimant

Its good to talk about Judges Onecountry but the public should also be made aware of whats really going on in our high office of  Solicitor General Mr Neville Devete

Firstly, he never turns up at work. He does not do 8-4:06 job as a public servant. For last 4 weeks he has never been in his office once for 8-4 pm work, unless the Minister called for him.

Secondly, he never never answers telephone calls. He has no office manners of a High Constitutional Office Holder.

Thirdly, he never responds to correspondence, and if he does its after 6 months has passed.

Fourthly, he has a system of corruption going that he has organized so nicely that I discovered recently when I kept going back to his office to solve my case.

I am a small time road contractor from Simbu. I sacrificed public service job 20 years ago to go home try politics, and live in the village. I started a small contracting company with one truck, and grew to become a sizable contractor employing over 50 people. I had a case against the State 9 years ago and this has led me to Mr Neville Devete  . I have a National court Judgement against the State.

He has failed to endorse my Court Judgement to get paid. My Lawyers have been coming and going for past 5 years and have cost me all my savings. I had to lay off all my workers except family members. I have travelled back and forth between Goroka and Port Moresby over 15 times on this matter.

I came down 4 weeks ago living with friends and at guest houses and it is most demoralizing for me. Yes I did go to University. I did get a degree like Mr Neville Devete . I have served the State well. Now I have been a father to over 50 families and working the land. I have lost all that because this guy and his friends decide that they are Gods and some of us have to bow down and crawl to him.

Please can someone do something about this?

Just last week I was told that my matter ( with several Million Kina owing) cannot be signed off by Mr Nevette unless I see Mr Richard Wagambie of Wagambie Lawyers and enter into a fee arrangement with him. I was told this by a very senior officer in that office. Other sources have since confirmed that Mr Neville Devete  and his two senior officers just under him use Wagambie Lawyers to get their cut on all dealings. I was told to sack my lawyers and go to Wagambie Lawyers and the matter will be settled.

I became so sick after that. I felt like throwing up. I went back to the guest house and just slept.

When I woke up, I thought, yes 5 tears ago when I had all the workers there and contracts to complete, I may have been pragmatic and done it. But today, I have lost my business, my equipment sold off or rusted. My workers all left, with me owing them money. My kids out of school. I am also a grand father now. I am faced with a couple of young guys, one an Engan called Mr Kandi who is the power broker or money broker behind Neville Devete  I am told.

I don't know what is true and what are lies. All I want is to get my one single sheet of paper signed by Mr Neville Devete .

Why is it taking him so long to do this? Why must I and my family, and my workers suffer because of this apparent neglect of duty, to hide a corrupt little system these young guys are running. I dont know how many other people are victims to this but can someone stop it?

Dr Allan Marat where are you my brother. I have known you on the Aussie Rules field many years ago. Can you jump and take the mark I am kicking, come down and crush the dirty little rats?  Set us and this country free from corruption under your nose. Check how many cases is Wagambie Lawyers handling for Neville Devete  and how much money has been paid out to them. Thats a start.

I have read the contents of the post raising serious allegations against the solicitor General and his deputy and our firm. For your information our firm and few others act on brief out matters and we have carriage of almost 60 land taxation matters including others that are very contentious that involves habitual litigants like Kera. I know who Kera is. In fact Kera has offered K200,000.00 to our firm as bribe money if we agreed to have his land taxation matter taxed and certified. We stood by our principle and told Kera to piss off, Kera may have tried the same with the solicitor General and his deputy and we believe was told to also piss off and go through the taxation procedure. Kera for your information as long as we act on behalf of the state and the 7million people of papua new guinea, I can assure you that you will never get one 5toea for your corrupt claim. We work hard to get to where we are and your comment has harmed our reputation and we are prepared to take you on in a legal suit. If you have any problem with your matter in which we have carriage on behalf if the state, you should approach us and talk to us rather then to go behind pen names in a social network like this
Kera your allegation of fee arrangement with my firm is just way off, how can I enter into a fee arrangement with you when I act for the state? It would amount to conflict of interest if I do and for your information, I've never done fee arrangement as you alleged for the entire life of my practice for the 12years of my practice as a Lawyer. I cannot speak for the solicitor General and his Lawyers but if you have any problem with their actions or inactions, you should refer that to the secretary for justice or the Attorney General for appropriate action. If your taxed bill has not been paid, well apply for the court for enforcement. You've jumped the gun by coming to this social networking to tarnish the reputation of the solicitor general and his staff and my firm. In any event I request that you attend at my office and ask to speak to me after you have read my reply and I will see how I can help you if I act on behalf of the state in a matter in which you are the claimant. To the pngblogs administratoe may I suggest that you assess the contents of future commentaries before you publish it as this one is definitely highly defamatory

    My goodness. The department that supposed to uphold and provide legal services to the people of these nation. Their salaries are paid from our taxes on hard days earned wages and here they are trying to get a share of our entitlements. Shame on you Solicitor General and your cronies!!!!

    Kera should take the issue up with Secretary for Justice. It is a matter for administrative action. Cheers.

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.

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

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

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

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

A Call for Local Ownership and Fairness

Image
by JUSTIN PARKER In recent discussions surrounding the establishment of a gold refinery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), concerns have been raised regarding various aspects of the proposed project. Spearheaded by foreign investors, the initiative has sparked debates over ownership, exclusivity, tax concessions, underwriting, management rights, control over currency, legal protections, and historical failures. These concerns, if unaddressed, could potentially undermine the interests of PNG and its people, particularly the hardworking alluvial miners who form the backbone of the nation's mining sector. At the heart of the issue lies the question of ownership. The proposed ownership structure, favoring foreign investors with a substantial 70% stake, raises eyebrows, especially considering PNG's past experiences with failed ventures like seabed mining. Instead of ceding majority control to foreign entities, many argue that PNG should assert full ownership over the refinery. With the coun
