STATE PRISONER RUNNING EASTERN HIGHLANDS PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION


The situation in Goroka at the Provincial Capital (Yanepa Haus) is very frightening. The incumbent Provincial Administrator is a state prisoner by virtue of his arrest and bail and is allowed to continue to occupy public office disbursing funds using the section 32 powers ( delegated powers from the secretary of finance who is the custodian of public funds and in doing so as a " not fit and proper person" and awarding contracts  through the Provincial Supply and tenders Board whilst the people of EH continues to suffer,

He is squandering public funds to remain in office using the courts ( through a restraining order, which ousted the former acting Provincial Administrator in Feb 2016) and siphoning peoples money through his dubious contractors and then collecting the same at the exit point to pay for his legal and bribery expenses to remain in office.
The lawyers from Niuage Lawyers, law firm are making huge money out from the peoples purse and the nine MPs from the province don't dare to question whats going on. Eastern Highlands is creating history in PNG and the world to allow a crook to continue to occupy public office,

It also appears that the lady Governor has abandoned her fight for her much talked about "transparency and accountability approach" and gone into bed with the Mafia Monster that runs the provincial administration in Goroka.
No newspapers want to run news articles because of possible contempt because there is an existing court order which is still holding the crook PA in office and it would appear that the lady Governor has compromised with the devil and is working with him to run the province into the election 2017.

This scenario emanated when the State Prosecutor using his powers under section 526 of the criminal code decided to refer him to stand trial in the National Court. The arraignment of Mr. Solomon Tato, the incumbent Provincial Administrator was conducted on the 22nd July 2016 at the National Court in Goroka and the court posted him a K 5,000.00 bail. The serious question that remains begging to be answered by the relevant authorities in Waigani and the nine members of Parliament from the Province is simple” Why is a person seriously implicated on a criminal case and is on court bail of K5,000.00 is allowed to occupy a public office as the Provincial Administrator. Why a person with questionable background is is allowed to sign requisition utilizing the section 32 financial powers and chairing Provincial Supply and Tenders Board Meetings and awarding contracts to his corrupt cronies who are funding his fight to remain in office.

This is history in the making for a public office holder to be seriously implicated, charged by the courts through and ex officio indictment rendering him as a state prisoner and not fit and proper person but allowed to occupy a public office and continue to disburse public funds.

This is absurd and some drastic actions needs to be done by both Treasury and Finance to put a stop to this non sense where public funds meant for the 600,000 + people of Eastern Highlands is being allowed to be squandered in broad day light and relevant authorities together with elected leaders of the province have turned a blind eye on this very serious problem.

The defiant actions of the incumbent Provincial Authority is seriously undermining the established rules and regulations covering the conduct of Public Servants through the Public Service Management Act and the regulations and the Leadership code on duties and responsibilities of leaders. The office of the Provincial Administrator is also subject to the Ombudsman Commissions leadership code and it is very sad that even the Ombudsman Commission is very silent on this serious matter.

The incumbent Provincial Administrator has demonstrated that he is not accountable to either the Public Service General Orders and the Public Service regulations and including the leadership code as it related to the conduct of leaders and this action alone will see the emergence of a dangerous precedent being set here in the Eastern Highlands with these serious behavior of public servants and called on relevant state agencies to sort this problem for the good of the public service generally and the rule of law. In the interest of state and the people of EH, relavant authorities need to do something quickly
