PETER O'NEILL LIES AGAIN ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH FUNDING

Public commentary by desperate health officials last week are aimed at telling the people of PNG that Prime Minister Peter O’Neill is killing the national health system.

The Department of Health is no longer able to help sick people in need of medical assistance, treatment from doctors and medicines.

Only the worst cases can get help from the main hospitals but even Angau , Port Moresby General and other major centres are struggling to do their job.

The cause, say the health officials, is lack of money.

(SEE THEIR COMMENTS HERE IN THE NATIONAL http://www.thenational.com.pg/ (click on the Nation field and scroll to Wednesday May 9 items)

The Prime Minister has stolen so much money for himself and his con men and wasted so much money on borrowing from foreigners that there is nothing left for the health and welfare of the people.

He would rather build useless things in Port Moresby than save his own people’s lives.

THIS IS WHAT HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY:
·       The Prime Minister cut the Church Health Services funding by $50 million in the Budget.
·    Health Department is “at the risk now of not being able to meet the expectations of our people because of the financial situation.”
·    Government funding “is not equal to what we actually asked for to maintain basic requirements for our people”.
·    An example is supplying anti-malarial drugs to health centres and clinics across the country. “Right now there is an emergency and Health department is not able to supply anti-malaria drugs because it has not received its funding.”
·    “We are given only just a small amount which is the situation with the cash flow. That’s the situation for us.”
These public commentary shows Prime Minister Peter O’Neill is a liar.

People are dying because of his greed and waste and reckless borrowing.

HEALTH CRISIS WILL GET WORSE.

But the worst is yet to come. Expert economic studies show that in fact O’Neill is cutting spending from a peak of K1.67billion in 2015 to just K1.2 billion in his planned 2017 Budget.

The Prime Minister has cut health spending by about 50%, including inflation and other economic factors.

NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE DYING!!!!

For example the malaria death rate under Peter O’Neill is going to rise because of the drug shortage. Thousands of malaria sufferers will not get drugs

Almost 2 million PNGeans visit health centres every year with malaria looking for drugs. Now there are no drugs.

There are about 39 deaths from malaria for every 100,000 people in each year.

So we know now that about 275 people are dying from malaria every year.

HOW MANY MORE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF YOU MR PRIME MINISTER?

Under O’Neill PNG is the worst for health in the whole Pacific, according to latest figures from Australian Doctors International.

Sister nation Fiji spends $US154 per citizen on Health. PNG spends $US49.

Sister nation Fiji has 20 doctors for every 20,000 citizens. PNG has one doctor for every 17,068 citizens.

TB is coming back worse than ever and now is in crisis in Western, Gulf and Central/NCD.

O’Neill has stolen so much money and owes so much money to foreign banks he can’t even pay K20 million pleaded by doctors and health agencies to stop the TB crisis.

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.

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

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
