THE MATTER OF DJOKO TJANDRA, ILLEGAL IN PNG, CRIMINAL FUGITIVE AND FRIEND TO A FEW PNG POLITICIANS

By GOVERNOR GARY JUFFA MP

I believe that we are mandated as leaders to represent the people of our nation, the 7 million shareholders of Papua New Guinea. I have found that this is not the case for some.

It appears that rhetoric and clever application of distraction and evasion abound and there are those who now having entered Parliament, appear to be concerned about interests that are not shared by the people.

Djoko TJANDRA, an international criminal fugitive wanted by the Supreme Court of INDONESIA for embezzling $US 62 Million and ILLEGALLY in Papua New Guinea, was protected in parliament by several elected members who profusely fought to claim he was a Papua New Guinean and who shied away from their responsibilities by claiming it was not their area of concern.

Discussions with many elected leaders show that they too are concerned. Thanks to their efforts to expose, it is now being learned that the citizenship committee never actually endorsed TJANDRA's citizenship....it was a one man affair presided over by former Member for GOILALA MATTHEW POIYA, then Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, acting as the Chairman for that one unique meeting without the other members present, at the behest of certain politicians from the Southern Region. So the questions I posed remain unanswered: is Djoko TJANDRA in Papua New Guinea legally? Is he a PNG citizen and if so?

What has happened to his INDONESIAN citizenship, did he denounce it as required? Were the processes and procedures followed in granting him citizenship? What of the fact that he is wanted by INDONESIAN authorities and is on the Interpol Website specifically requesting anyone who has sighted him to report him immediately to the Police and Interpol? What is the message we are now sending to the international community by this act? That we are now open haven for international criminals?

That we will now ignore our international responsibilities to assist in the fight against crime and assist other UN member nations report and prosecute those responsible for crimes in one jurisdiction but flee to another for refuge? That a bag of money and proposed investments can be a ticket to citizenship in PNG? Many such questions arise and no doubt those who are concerned will come up with many more valid questions.

I wonder if a Papua New Guinean would be treated the same in INDONESIA or any other nation if he had stolen $US 62 million in PNG and was wanted by the Supreme Court of PNG, given refuge and citizenship and dinners with elected leaders of that nation? How sad it is that the citizenship of our nation is cheapened and sold with no decorum or dignity, no proper process or procedure, no legal etiquette and certainly no vital effort of ethics, proper behavior and genuine consideration for its people, cultures or future.

The questions will not be swept under the carpet, we cannot allow the giant lump of excrement that is this situation to remain in our midst whilst we pretend that all is well and go our merry way with business after we have bowed our heads and pledged Christian principals and embraced honesty and requested divine guidance during every session of parliament....It is ironic that we are now building a refugee processing centre in Manus to process legitimate claims of refugees for Australia while we open our country and embrace criminal fugitives with open arms

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.

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

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

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

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
