PNGBLOGS

by  MICHAEL J.PASSINGAN  Sources within an Australian Real Estate firm have been exposing prominent Papua New Guinean MPs and Public Servants  to PNGBLOGS who have purchased properties in Australia via dubious means. The latest is Sports, Special Events and APEC Minister, Justin TKATCHENKO. P NGBlogs recently exposed the recent purchase of a property by MINISTER TKATCHENKO and his family at BROOKFIELD outside BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. MINISTER TKATCHENKO lied through his teeth in Parliament when he said he gave up controls to his parent company KITORO NO 33 . Truth is he is still solely involved with the company operations with his wife. Papua New Guineans have been duped again by JUSTIN TKATCHENKO with a purchase he made prior to entering Parliament when  he was the sole owner of Kitoro No 33. In 2010 it was alleged Tkatchenko received over K3 million in payments from the National Capital District through his landscaping companies Kitoro No.33 and PNG Gardner. It is claimed th

by PNGBLOGS The Prime Minister has been up to his second favourite trick recently after stealing – telling lies. And once again he’s been caught out big-time, this time over the cost of holding APEC. The Prime Minister doesn’t know whether he’s telling lies or telling the truth any more – he can’t tell the difference. So PNG Blogs is going to help the Pacific’s most corrupt and useless leader with some facts about APEC costs. First of all an official IMF report stated that “the government plans to spend K3 billion over 2015-18 on the preparations for APEC 2018” Mr O’Neill told Parliament last week that “the amount mention by IMF is utterly rubbish, inaccurate and not true. How can you spend K3 billion, when the country has only K12 billion budget every year?” Note the big lie: the IMF did not say PNG was going to spend K3 billion on APEC in one year, as O’Steal claims. It said the spending was over four years – 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Furthermore, the K3 billi

by JASON P KANGOMA Treasurer Patrick Pruaitch is scheduled to hand down the 2017 Budget in Parliament this week. Given that 2017 is election year, the Budget is certain to be dominated by the usual O’Neill Regime spin and deceit, along with wasteful and irresponsible spending measures. But the central feature will be drastic cuts to essential social services such as health and education, and further suffering for ordinary Papua New Guineans. Every successive O’Neill Budget has been a failure, creating more problems than they solve, and driving the nation further towards total collapse. This special PNG Blogs report reveals the ongoing damage Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s corruption, greed and mismanagement is doing to Papua New Guinea.   POVERTY INCREASING UNDER O’NEILL REGIME The new announcement by the O’Neill Regime that it has obtained a K1 billion rescue package from the Asian Development Bank proves that Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s economic and finan

by NOLPI BUKA The Member for Imbongu and Minister for Works Francis Awesa has consolidated his village support by engaging in early vote buying to ensure base votes from his village of Kiburu and surrounding areas are locked in come election day next year. The Imbongu District Administration under the guise of road improvements have approved questionable road improvement projects based around the Works Minister’s home village. Most of this road projects are non-existent or work not done payment for the MPs village of Kiburu and two neighbouring hamlets were done to ensure his tribesmen would have no choice but to cast their votes at Kiburu. This was done to ensure the two Ballot Boxes earmarked for Kiburu were fully exhausted by his support base. The MP is not new to controversy as it has been public knowledge that he is a known “kickback king” since being appointed Minister for Works under Peter O’Neill’s government. His traits for “Pay-for-Play” are commonly known within the wa

PETER O'NEILL SAYS NOT TO SELL YOUR LAND YET HE WANTS CUSTOMARY LANDOWNERS TO DO THE VERY THINGS THAT MAKE IT EASIER TO GRAB THEIR LAND NIUGINI OUTLOOK One of the best ways to take away people's land is to keep them dumb and stupid about land laws and land rights. Keeping people ignorant about land legalities also allows landowners to trick those who think they are buying land when they're actually not. The only way we know of to sell land legally in PNG is to sell to the state. It may be possible under the law for natural born citizens to sell land to other natural born citizens but the way customary landowners are selling blocks of land around every city in PNG today is a scam if you think you now own a block of land. The law seems to point to the transaction as being a transfer of temporary rights to use the land, not actually to own it. Thus, the blockholders are not buying land. It is more like they are renting it. In nearly all cases, there are no legal pape
