LATEST REPORTS OF BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION: POWI & O'NEILL BUY UNITECH SRC LOYALTY?
This is beginning to look like a classic Peter O’Neill story. Peter O’Neill has spent his career always denying allegations against him. What he never understands is that as one story follows another and one more piece of circumstantial evidence adds to those already known, it starts to fill in gaps and define a bigger picture of what is going on, with all fingers pointed to the same culprit.
The same thing is happening now with respect to Unitech SRC President David Kelma.
THE WHISTLEBLOWERS AND THEIR CREDIBILITY: The following information comes from whistleblower Unitech students who have been investigating on their own a number of suspicious David Kelma activities especially related to money handling. Why are these nameless people exposing this information now, since making these allegations definitely involves risks? There are several possibilities.
- They could be genuine Christian, true PNG nationalists who are appalled by evil when they see it.
- They could be angry at David Kelma or some reason and that’s why they are exposing him.
- They could be jealous of David Kelma for some reason.
It really doesn’t matter what the reason is. Government anti-corruption prosecutors around the world have learnt that the motive for spilling the beans on corruption is of minor importance.
What counts the most is the information itself.
Many national governments, including Australia, take great care to protect the safety of whistleblowers by protecting their identity. In situations where the information being revealed has the potential to knock down very powerful people, violent payback against the whistleblower, all in innocent looking ways, is a distinct possibility. That is why we protect our identities on Niugini Outlook as well as the identities of our informants. To not keep their true identities secret do so would be the height of irrationality and stupidity.
Those who cry out if you don’t know who is behind allegations of corruption, you cannot believe any of it, are basically ignorant.

Anti-corruption investigative agencies in other countries often allow the whistleblower to remain anonymous, even to them. Of course the information itself has to be confirmed. However anti-corruption investigators in Australia long ago learnt that the information provided is what is most important. Who provides the information is nice to know but not essential.
We have confirmed enough of these allegations to be reasonably convinced that the basics are sound and worth further exploration. Those who want to pngblogs@gmail.com or message either PNG Blogs at Facebook or Niugini Outlook at Facebook with further information are welcome to do so.
We have noticed that all the way up to now, we have received not one detailed response that argues why the previous allegations against David Kelma could not possibly be true, even when we have given specifics. The only time we have received details is when they come from those making the allegations against Kelma.
The allegations are as follows. We invite informants to contact us to provide further details that we can confirm:
We have now heard that during the first week of May, an amount of between K200,000 (more likely) and K300,000 was obtained by the SRC president David Kelma from the Prime Minister, using a middleman.
The payment was made through what some say is a cousin brother of Peter O’Neill, who we are informed is from Pangia and is the patron of the Unitech Southern Highlands student group. This is: BOBBY ANGOPA. Angopa drives a tan landcruiser which may be the same vehicle referred to below. Mysteriously, he crashed it during a drunken drive into one of the boy's dormitories, causing damage to university property. The normal punishment for such an incident would normally terminated. No one has been able to find evidence that Bobby Angopa has even been charged or disciplined.
We are told that David Kelma keeps control over most of the money received in the big payment. Based upon their behavior and what they have been observed doing and saying, Kelma seems to use the students named below both to spy and to influence other SHP students in the same way that Peter O’Neill uses his stooges to influence judges, other MPs, and people whom the PM wants to get something from. They are periodically given money by Kelma.
We have heard that there are 5 SHP students involved. Possibly 2 Hela students as well.
We have heard that there are 5 SHP students involved. Possibly 2 Hela students as well.
The SHP students are said to be 2 Nipa and 2 Kagua, plus David Kelma himself from Imbongu. Kency John is one of the Kagua briefcase carriers, with Francis being another. One Nipa influence peddler is Wilson, and Dickson from Mendi is also involved. All this needs to be further confirmed with full names and further information from whistleblowers who have important evidence to share. We need more genuine Christian (in deed as well as talk) witnesses living at Unitech who know these students and can provide more information.
All the above is well enough known to SHP and Hela students that it is now causing division. Some SHP/Hela students are angry knowing how much money their fellow students are getting to serve as David Kelma’s influence peddlers. Others are angry because of their Christian convictions that they are witnessing evil with their own eyes. This group of students is not a large one, but they are the most angry, as they see more clearly that staying silent is actually helping the devil do his evil.
As part of his influence buying, during the late governor Anderson Agiru’s recent funeral, David Kelma used some of the money to pay for 5 day hire of vehicles for Hela students to travel up. This represented an impressive 4 landcruisers and a bus. He used a brown 10 seater to travel up later, following the departure of the other students.
Students on campus have seen Kelma being discretely picked up by a brown 10 seater or landcruiser.
David Kelma met personally with James Marape who has already been confirmed to discretely have met with SRC leaders of Divine Word as well as UPNG leaders.
K40,000 was given to the SHP provincial club in 2015 by Governor William Powi. There is only K10,000 left and the other K30,000 remains unaccounted for.
GROWING UNITECH STUDENT ANGER AT SRC: We know now for certain that SRC President David Kelma refused to join a critical unity partnership between Unitech, UPNG and UOG at the very critical moment when parliament opened its session. We know for a fact that he has blockaided effective activists within the SRC, the result of which has been to dilute the effectiveness of the Unitech boycott movement, slow things down, and create large blocks of down time in the student schedule where they were forced to sit around and do nothing because of the SRC President's reluctant leadership. The disunity to the Unitech movement has its main source not in reports from outside coming from concerned, honest students, nor from activist students getting fed up with the lack of action. As far as we can tell, the source of disunity is the SRC President himself, because all the unhappiness and frustration springs from his off behaviour which seems to favour Peter O'Neill.
FURTHER INFORMATION & INVESTIGATION NEEDED: Niugini Outlook is getting out the story as accurately as we can, based upon the limited information we have been given or been able to confirm. Anyone disputing this information can and should:
- Write a rebuttal article and submit to PNG Blogs at pngblogs@gmail.com
- Use the comment section to state what you believe to be incorrect about this story and why you have reached that conclusion. The more details the more powerful will be your argument against us.
- Use any other way you wish to get your side of the story out on the internet.
The truth always comes out in the end after good people expose the corruption or allegations and shine bright lights on them. Corruption cannot stand transparency or exposure. That is why we expose, simply a matter of getting to the truth.
