WE WILL RISE UP – MONDAY.

By  Mala Dinoneil


Comrades. We have talked enough. The time has indeed come for us to act. And act fast. If we delay another day, major and more shocking changes are expected to be announced by Peter O’Neill. Below is why we (the citizens) need to act.
  1. IPATAS, WINGTI, MARABE, MICAH, PARKOP: Where are the influential MPs of our time? Elected leaders no longer fear the dictates of their conscience. They do not seem to be guided by a deep sense of duty, decency, and ethics. Just consider these pot-bellies, shamelessly trying to defend Peter O’Neill. They do not give a damn if Peter O’Neill aggressively undermines the rule of law, and destroys the very institutions that hold us together. Peter Ipatas is supporting Peter O’Neill because the latter has committed millions into Engan treasury for a proposed Hospital and a Hydro project. WH’s Paias Wingti is supporting O’Neill because the PM injected millions for the reconstruction of the Kapal Haus. Since Parkop, Marabe and Micah and directly benefiting under O’Neill’s leadership, they will not speak against the evil they know exists. Where is Sir J. Chan? Is it because of the position PPP has taken or his son’s future…that he has decided not to speak? How about the NA family? Anyone left who can stand up for the country or has everyone “compromised”?
  1. 101 K10 Million Rural Development Fund MPs.  The 56 PNC members have pledged their allegiance to their corrupt leader but they have something in common. They are all political prostitutes who hop from one “man to another.” If O’Neill falls (which will happen), they will relinquish their party, and join the party that comes into power. But what about the “other political parties”? Its time NA shows that he has balls. Michael Somare has to walk out. NOW! Is there anybody left in the UPR? How about the THE Party? You “formed” this government, but if that government has not honoured her commitment, dismantle is and “form” another one. The citizens of this country already know how this story will end. But do you? If you (MPs) do not know yet, and Sir Julius Chan and Michael Somare of how they fell. They thought they were invincible. O’Neill’s desperate attempts will not save him. His days are numbered – and his fall will be witnessed by MSG leaders and the Japanese Prime Minister – and they will flee in terror!
  1. OMBUDSMEN COMMISSION. OC is a joke. Toothless giant. OC was still working on the UBS loan and another wave has just overtaken that sleeping giant. We remember the days when late Manek Chronox was the Chief OC. These days are different. Soon some of these officers’ terms will expire and they will exit that office, without accomplishing anything significant. STOP ISSUING THREATS. START ISSUING DIRECTIVES!
  1. POLICE. Only in PNG this can happen. From 3 years on the street to the Police Commissioner’s throne overnight. And in less than a week – firing the rank and file that threatens O’Neill. Somare did something similar, but that did not help. When the new government is sworn in NEXT FRIDAY (a week from now), Vaki will be kicked out – without even tasting his first salary! Can we trust him? Do the men and women in blue trust him? How long are we going to tolerate him and O’Neill play football with the Police institution? Are there any “Bravos”, and Charlies” left who can lock him up? With or without your help O”Neill and Vaki will fall, but the courage of a brave and patriotic cop will be remembered for a long time.
  1. JUSTICE/SUPREME COURT. We do respect the judiciary to execute justice in this issue. We do not know what the law book says, but the writing on the wall is very clear; even a child can read. IF JUSTICE IS NOT DELIVERED TODAY FOR WHATVER REASONS KNOWN ONLY TO THE PRESIDING JUDGES, THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY WILL ACT. DURING SOMARE’S DOWNFALL THE CHIEF DID ERRED, SO WE ARE AWARE THAT JUDGES DO ERR. SO WE ARE HOLDING OUR BREATH AND WATCHING WITH INTENSE INTEREST.
  1. PRIME MINISTER. The court order last week, and extended this week was for the ‘status quo’ to remain. But he has not honoured that order. He started mowing down anything that he was suspicious of. So should the police respect that initial court order? Or should they just have him arrested?
Comrades, before we present ourselves as united front, there are few Judas’ in the camp that needs to removed right now:
  1. BOBBY YUPI, UPNG SRC PRESIDENT. During the UBS loan saga, this student leader was ‘paid off’. Peter O’Neill did the same thing to Hosea Livingston (the former Unitech SRCPresident). Can a banker check this kid’s bank accounts and see if there is any “suspicious” amount of money deposited into his bank account around this time? He appears to have compromised himself and does not live up to the timeless integrity of that office. While the bankers check on that, the provincial student leaders of UPNG must meet and hold a referendum against Bobby Yupi and have him sidelined. Appoint his Vice or secretary (whoever is not compromised) to take over the leadership. Do that NOW!
  2. JOHN PASKA, TUC GENERAL-SECRETARY. Someone needs to find out Paska’s relationship with Ben Micah and Peter O’Neill. Paska’s public comments appear to be either winking at or condoning the O’Neill-Paragate issue. There is a possibility that he may have “compromised.” The country and rest of the TUC members need to know if what Paska is saying is the official position of TUC or his own. TUC EXECUTIVES MUST HOLD A MEETING AND TAKE A CLEAR POSITION. If Paska has been making public statement without the organization’s interests, he needs to be sidelined too. He cannot be a life-time Secretary General to this very important position, especially at a time when people like Peter O’Neill is the prime minister.
If Peter O’Neill (through Jeffery Vaki) uses the police to further suppress our democratic rights to meet and talk (protest), this is what we will do.
  1. COUNTRY SHUTS DOWN. Protests will go one in the rest of the town centres. But in Port Moresby, protests and speeches will be conducted within UPNG campus.
  2. OPPOSITION, DON POLYE, KERENGA KUA, WILLIAM DUMA. You people do not have to make political statements and hide from the crowd. Remember how O’Neill (and some of you) were “walking on the streets” (two years ago) to get into power? You must now come out and do the same now. If such behavior was tolerable then, it is more so now. Everyday blanket the airwaves and printed media and keep the heat up. Also when the police is muffling the crowd and infringing on people’s right, condemn it (condemn especially Vaki and Mero O’Neill).
  3. NATIONAL ALLIANCE PARTY, OTHER MPs. We know you are hanging around O’Neill not because you like or trust him. He also knows that you are silently rejoicing as he is fighting to cling onto power. Just publicly walk out and join the opposition. It is better to strike when the metal is “hot”!
  4. UNIVERSITIES/COLLEGES: All Student Leadership from Medical Faculty, UPNG, UNITECH, GOROKO campus, VUDAL and Divine Word must make their stands clearly known. Discuss amongst yourself and if nothing happens by next Tuesday, arrange a sit-in-strike, and close down the campuses.
  5. CHURCH LEADERS. Those Pentecostal “prophets” trying to have audience with Peter O’Neill must stop that and join the Catholic Church and ask the Prime Minister to step aside. If he is too proud, you bring your influence and join the rest of PNG. And remember we are YOUR parishioner. If you do not leave by example and condemn sin, you are in big trouble.
  6. TRADE UNION CONGRESS. Trade Union Congress must DECLARE STOP WORK next week.
  7. AIRNIUGINI WORKERS UNION. Within one year, 20%  of you will be laid off. That is the decision O’Neill government has taken. The country needs to know where you stand on this issue. You hold one of the key positions in this country. You have the power to stop the Japanese Minister coming in next week and keep rest of the Melanesian Solidarity Group in the country. Let corrupt Peter O’Neill exit the people’s seat in humiliation.
  8. POLICE UNION. If the rank and file within the police department is threatened by the O’Neill-appointed-Vaki, you still have a voice. Police Union must rise up. Stand united. Speak up against Vaki. You also as a citizen must refuse to obey orders that “interferes” with justice. Much better, come in civilian clothes and join the rest of us.
  9. ALL NGOs. Start contacting your sister-groups around the country. Simbus have issues a 24 hours ultimatum already. They mean what they say. They will do what they said they would do. Yes, go ahead and close the highlands highway. If you talk and act, the country will respect you. But if you do not act now, the next time you issue an ultimatum, the government will say, “ahh ol save toktok nating yeah. Ol bae ino inap wokim wanpela samting.” Go ahead and remove a BRIDGE or two. No more LNG. Country shuts down. After O’Neill is removed, the new Government will have the PNGDF re-construct it within days.
When is the best time to act? Sam Koim has done a marvelous thing. Australians know and respect the work SWEEP Team leader Koim has been doing. So it was natural for Australian media and government to receive him like they did. Now the rest of Melanesians who are camping in PNG must know our corrupt PM. He needs to be exposed in their face. PM must also be humiliated In front of the Japanese Prime Minister (if he still decides to come). So if justice is not delivered by the Supreme Court today, or again delayed, start mobilizing and the country must be CLOSED Starting Monday.

HIGHLANDS FRAUD F*CKS RUNNING GOVERNMENT AGENCY,,,

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

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

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

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
