THE FALL OF GAMATO AND THE RISE OF PLAYBOY SINAI

Image
  by PNGBlogs Special Correspondent In the 2017 Election Patilias, Gamato made an unpopular decision with regard to Section 175 1A)(b) which cost him numerous criticism and plunged his career into a downward spiral so rapidly that and eventually dumped Simon Sinai.  He made the first ever "special circumstances " declaration of William Powi as Governor of Southern Highlands due to the chaotic civil unrest, the burning down of the newly built million Kina National complex, and also the burning down of the Dash 8 aircraft. William Powi was then declared as the Governor based on his lead in the first preference counts. The matter was immediately filed and tried in the court of disputed returns by three candidates trailing behind  Joe Kobol, Pr. Bernard Kaku and another I cannot recall.  Joe Kobol lost his fight but Pastor Benard Kaku's petition was successful in that on 24th August 2021, Judge Cannings ruled that Powi's win and the declaration were wrong and therefore a

BLAME THE CRIMINALS IN POWER, NOT THE PEOPLE OF SHP

by CAPTAIN JAMES MAKOP I have warned time and again that our people have patience but that patience is not infinite.  Our respect for those elevated to leadership status have always been given without question or reservation but the manner in which that respect had and continues to be abused has now brought about a paradigm shift in our perception of political and societal leadership.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED TIME AND AGAIN YET YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN HEED. YOU HAVE WROUGHT UNWARRANTED SUFFERINGS ON 8 MILL ION PEOPLE AND PERVERTED THE RULE OF LAW TO ENTRENCH YOUR VESTED INTERESTS.  JUDICIARY, YOU STAND GUILTY OF COMPLICIT IN ABETTING THE CRIMINALS IN POWER TO MAINTAIN STATUS QUO. WHAT HAD TRANSPIRED NOW IN THE BURNING OF AN AIRCRAFT BELONGING TO THE NATIONAL AIRLINE, SUBJECTING THE LIVES OF CREW AND PASSENGERS TO GRAVE RISK IS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO YOUR HANDLING OF MATTERS OF LAW IN THE DELIBERATE OBFUSCATION OF JUSTICE. MORE WILL FOLLOW AND THE BLOOD SPILT WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS.  Peo

ELUH AS S.H. PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATOR?

Image
by KIN POLOWA The appointment of former Assistant Commissioner of Police, Thomas Eluh, as the Acting Provincial Administrator of Southern Highlands Province will not go down well with many of us who have been following him closely in his commitment to combat corruption as a police officer. He was appointed by the National Executive Council on 2nd November 2017. The NEC decision comes a week after Mr Eluh’s court challenge against his dismissal from the police force was handed down. Although the National Court Invalidated Police Commissioner Gari Baki’s decision to dismiss Mr Eluh from the Force, the Court refused to reinstate Mr Eluh –which effectively puts Eluh on the street as an ordinary person. When I heard the NEC decision news, the first thing that came to mind was –Eluh has now been compromised, just like many others. Instead of taking my judgmental rant to social media, as usual, I decided to do some background check on Eluh. You have to know the person and the facts

THE BETRAYAL

by MATHEW THEOL A prominent Lawyer from Pangia in Wiru has raised his hand up for the Ialibu Pangia seat currently held by the Chief Executive Officer of PNG. Hon. Peter O'Neil and Prime Minister. The Lawyer has featured in the Post Courier today on page 9 is Mr. Stanley Liria who is a very close friend and associate to the Governor William Powi. The governor has been cheating the Prime Minister all along for the final blessing of PNC to endorse him for the Regional Seat befor e the 11 hour for the Candidate Challenging the Prime Minster who is endorsed by the Governor William Powi pops up into the scene after the formalities had been cemented. Looking back to the association of Governor- Wiliam Powi and Stanley Liria are good buddies both on the personal and business front and their relationship has further extended to politics to unseat the Prime Minister from his Ialibu Pangia seat which he held for three consecutive terms. It is now becoming very clear on one of h

O’NEILL AND POWI SET UP LNG DEVELOPMENT LEVY SLUSH FUND

Image
by MICHAEL J PASSINGAN Prime Minister Peter O’Neill and Southern Highlands Governor William Powi have set up a secret slush fund using the PNG LNG Development Levies intended for the Southern Highlands Provincial Government and LLGs. The money going into the slush fund is supposed to be paid by the PNG LNG operators direct to the Provincial Treasury. Instead O’Neill and Powi are diverting the cash into a secret account to be set up under NEC decision No. 70/2016 on 22 March this year. The decision was signed by Mr O’Neill, who is recognized internationally as the most corrupt politician in the Pacific. Grave fears are held for the security of the funds, which rightfully belong to the Southern Highlands Provincial Government and project landowners. The Development Levy is 2% of the wellhead value of all production from PNG LNG, and by now amounts to hundreds of millions of kina. The NEC decision states that the Provincial Government should set up the account with a “thi

WILLIAM POWI'S 5 YEAR MASTER PLAN FOR NOTHING

by PNGBLOGS William Titipe Powi contested for Southern Highlands Provincial Seat under Peter O’Neill’s party – People’s National Congress (PNC), in the 2012 election. On the race with him were Joseph Kopol (independent), Vincent Mirupasi (independent), Silvester Harry Komba (independent) and others. They were contesting for the seat left vacant by Anderson Agiru (current Hela Governor). At the end of the final elimination, Powi was declared winner on 27 July 2012 with a total votes of 139, 308. Before switching code into politics, Powi has been the serving as the Southern Highlands Provincial Administrator for about 10 years. Under his belt as the administrator, he delivered absolutely NOTHING to the province. He only manipulated and controlled all the administrative functions of the provincial government to suit his business and political interest. Development funds were used to pay ghost projects and then diverted into personal account to run election. For i
