PETER PAIRE BARBER ABOLISHES POLYE'S COUNCIL WARDS GIVING HIM 0 CHANCES


The National Executive Council made a decision to abolish twenty-two (22) Local Government Level wards of the Lai-Mariand wards in Kandep District, Enga Province. The O’Neil Government’s decision NO.6/2019 was made on the 21st January 2019 in a Special meeting no.10/2019 to abolish these wards. From the 52 LLG wards, the number will be reduced to 30. The number of voting population affected here is more than 15000 people. That means these 15000 eligible voters will have no LLG ward council representation, neither their names enrolled in the common rolls.

In 2005, through an exhaustive legal and administrative process, the 28 council wards were created for Kandep Rural LLG, whilst 200 wards were created in other LLGs throughout PNG and were gazetted simultaneously.

During the same period the Hela and Jiwaka Provinces were created. All process in law were followed (now deemed illegal) and complied with. These Kandep wards were established by the people themselves through much liaison and consultation.

The NEC decided that all these 28 LLGs wards for Kandep were illegally established, and therefore decided to abolish them. But the Enga PEC and NEC deliberately retained 6 wards of the 28. Well this is not an assumption, people in Government Offices should try and confirm this findings.

These 6 wards were the only ones exceptionally found to be legally constituted except for the 22 which were abolished. But there is a glaring problem in the decision, these 6 retained wards from areas where for current seating MP, Hon Alfred Manase’s clans (mother and father), and from his support base clans.

This ill-motivated decision by the NEC has happened in the eve of two important political events taking place for Kandep.
First, Kandep Open election petition is before the court. The situation is volatile, two (2) policemen, 30 civilians were killed and properties worth millions lost and destroyed during the counting and after the counting of the Kandep Open Seat. Many more many other bad things happened due to the rigging of the 2017 Elections by the PNC Led Government.

The Enga Provincial Government together with the Administration are aware of this volatile situation and still they see fit to make this changes in the LLG Wards. In fact, the changes made above are all wards that fall under Don’s bases. The mediation officers of Enga who mediated to stop the Election Related Tribal Fight are fully aware of terms of the cease fire. The Enga Provincial Government must not start these events again and become a catalyst to start another warfare.

Secondly, LLG Elections are set to be held in the next few weeks, maybe in months. The LLG elections under these circumstances with 22 wards abolished will be the best recipe for disaster in the whole of Kandep which will definitely spill over to the whole of Enga like we have witnessed recently.
The clans and Tribes whose Wards affected are the Kambrips, Aimbareps, Alitips, Tartails, Maombs and Mauls, this represents all of Lai-Mariand area.

Kandep is not owned by Lafred Manase, or Don Polye, its owned by the People of Kandep,

Enga is not owned by Ipatas, its owned by the People of Enga.

PNG is not owned by O'Neil, its owned by the people of Papua New Guinea.

If your a Patriot out there see these actions as obstruction to fair representation of our people, let rise up and fight this corrupt individuals who occupy these offices.

Serving your own interest to serve longer without the mandate from the people is something not Democratic, therefore, the decisions made by both Enga PEC and the NEC should be reversed and shelved.

Leaders are supposed to serve the interest of the people, not apply divide and rule tactics. If you can do this, you should simply step down, IPATAS and O’Neil.

    People don't last. O'Neil, Ipatas, Manase will make way, one fine day. Their downfall or demise, will teach others how to lead as leaders.

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.

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
