LAST Thursday night after 8 pm (PNG Time), a Boeing 737 touched down at the Port Moresby Jacksons International Airport and taxied to the international terminal. Airport staff, including Customs were caught off guard because they were not given prior notification, as is the norm under civil aviation regulations. By the weekend Papua New Guineans woke up to radio news bulletins and social media postings on the detaining of Vanuatu diplomats – brothers Vu Anh Quan Saken and Charles Henry Saken – and their alleged liaisons with two PNG cabinet ministers and Vanuatu Foreign Minister, Albert Calot. Papua New Guineans took to social media demanding an investigation and criticizing Prime Minister Peter O’Neill for not getting his ministers to tow the line, as negotiations continued behind the scenes between the various parties. While the acting PNG Foreign Affairs Secretary, Lucy Bogari yesterday brushed off any ulterior motives behind the mysterious flight by saying the Vanuatu Foreign Minis

Media Release The Opposition Leader, Hon. Belden Norman Namah made it clear, when the plane landed at 8:30pm that night, he was already aware of it. Prior to the 17th of January 2013, he had already been alerted through Vanuatu Post Publication of the involvement of the two persons of Vietnamese origin holding on to Vanuatu Diplomatic Passports, he was also made aware of the involvement by the Vanuatu Foreign Minister. On the afternoon of Thursday at about 2pm, he went to the International VIP Arrival and Departure Lounge to see one of his friends off to Singapore, he realised that the Minister for Foreign Affairs Hon. Rimbink Pato and Minister for State Owned Enterprises Hon. Ben Micah were in the company of the Foreign Minister for Vanuatu, Mr Karlot. He knew something ‘fishy’ was happening at the very highest level in our country similar to the incident involving Djoko Tjandra. He said; Papua New Guinea is continuously being used as a launching pad by fugitives who are seeking freed

A 737 Boeing chartered flight from International JetClub Limited known to provide private chartered service worldwide landed at 8:30 pm last night at Jacksons Airport after Immigration was already closed. The unexpected landing caused a stir when the two pilots and cabin crew acted very suspicious according to sources at customs check counters who alerted police currently working around the clock to determine the status of the incident. Two pilots including five-crew during routine check at customs provided valuable information about a high delegation meeting to be held today inside the cabin of the Boeing 737 aircraft. The meeting is supposedly to be headed by two men wanted by the transnational crime in Vanuatu and two Senior PNG Government Ministers, whose names are now known to police. The two fugitives named; Saken, Charles Henry and Saken, Pascal Anh Quan (Vanuatu Naturalized citizen of Asian Origin) who arrived yesterday under false pretence identified themselves as a Barrister

My quest for justice and the protection of PNG’s national interests On January 6 this year I was forced to take out a Court Order to restrain the Commissioner of Police, his agents or servants, in particular all members of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary from assaulting or arresting me. The same court order also restrained two other persons, namely Mr Kenneth Thomson, and Hon. Theodore Zurenuoc, MP, former Minister for Education and current Speaker of the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea, their agents, servants and their tribesmen from assaulting or threatening me. This matter is returnable for mention on February 28. It is rather unfortunate that I took this course of action but it was taken after I had exhausted all other avenues, including a meeting with the senior hierarchy of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary to find a clear way forward in what has become a strenuous, tormenting, time consuming and expensive exercise for me personally. It is rather regrettable
