PNGBLOGS CONTRIBUTORS NETWORK PETER O'NEILL personally intervened in the Election process yesterday in PANGIA after he called Police Commissioner GARY BAKI to personally remove a Mobile Police unit from Wabag. MS11 Unit from Wabag were stationed in Southern Highlands and in the Prime Minister's electorate of Ialibu Pangia for the election and were tasked in looking after ballot boxes for Pangia. Members of Wabag's MS 11 had a confrontation with one of the Prime Minister's personal bodyguards after one of the polling officials for one of the LLGs in Pangia collaborated with the Prime Minister's bodyguards to remove scrutineers who were not supporting the Prime Minister. The voters and scrutineers went on to report the matter to  MS Unit, when the MS 11 unit intervened the polling officials threatened one of the Policeman from the Engan unit by saying that they were not required because this was the PM's seat and their job was required elsewhere.

by SAMSON  S. ALPHONSE Have you ever wondered about what our children (or their children) down the line will look back at our generation of citizens of this beautiful country, and our generation of leaders, and say? What verdict do you think they will pass? Just ponder on that for a while. After you have so pondered, also ask yourself what the children will think and say if we vote the current leaders back, or set up PNC Party to win and make Peter O’Neill the Prime Minister again? The next generation, and generations thereafter will desecrate our graves, and those of our current Political Leaders, and that of Peter O’Neill definitely! WHY would generations and generations of our future children do that you might ask? 1.      They would desecrate our graves because in the year 2017, we made another monumental mistake and as a nation voted PNC back into power. 2.      Because we did not learn from 7-year history of open stealing and corruption of public offices by

by Taunamo Badira, The people of Ialibu Pangia Electorate will deliberately choose to be deaf dumb and blind. They will deliberately choose to be the stupidest people in PNG, and in fact in the whole world. It is a level of fanatical stupidity no none has ever seen if they vote for Peter O'Neill. Why is that so? They will be going to the polls either today or next week to elect Peter ONeill once again to be their Leader and MP. To them electing a leader is not about truth, honesty, uprightness, integrity, visionary, strength of character, compassion, etc. To them it is a matter of blind fanatical pride. Pride that one of their own has made it to the top office against every other leader in the country. To have him as Prime Minister, even though he broke the Constitution to steal that office from Somare, was a dream come true for them, albeit unexpectedly. They are prepared to honour a thief of public office. They are prepared to honour a thief who amassed so much wealth using h

by KERENGA KUA MP It is with great sadness and disappointment that we learned of the unfortunate recent court decision in Washington DC to lock out PNG. Embassy staff following three months of arrears in rental payments. The Parliamentary Leader and Member for Sinasina Yongomugl Mr Kerenga Kua said, "The O'Neill Government has spent a fortune during the campaign period telling Papua New Guinea, in a series of glossy advertisements, about how it has put PNG on the world stage. Hosting regional and global events has given us some recognition, but at the cost of so many other high priority areas like health and education. "Sadly, it is that very world stage that will witness us shame ourselves as we close foreign mission after foreign mission. So far this year we have failed to pay UN fees calling the failure an administrative glitch to avoid further humiliation. "High Commission and Embassy staff in Singapore, Beijing and Washington has had to

. “Prime Minister Peter O’Neill is costing the people of Papua New Guinea a fortune,” former Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta said today   “ The Government has severe cashflow problems. There are no medicines in hospitals and health centres; schools have not received nearly enough money to operate; businesses are owed millions by the Government, but Treasury and Finance seem to have no problem paying the huge expenses the Prime Minister runs up daily. “On top of the damage he is inflicting on the country and the people through gross mismanagement of public finances, high debt and poor health and education services, he constantly flies around the country and the world in the Falcon jet, hires helicopters, stays in expensive hotels – all on the public purse. “I am told he has a permanent suite at the Airways Hotel, where he has lived for the last five years, eats and drinks there, when he has a perfectly good house on Touaguba Hill, and of course Mirigini House, at his dispo
