By LUCAS KIAP In a nutshell, the State has over the years ended up paying millions if not billions of Kina of public funds for false claims. The culture of false claims against the State is now seen by many as acceptable whether it has merit or not. When one makes such claims, they know exactly what the requirements are and the process to be followed to make a false and illegal claim appears genuine and legal. As a result the Vulupindi House has been turned into a false claim entity, where one can freely trade yellow envelopes containing false claims with bribery and promises of getting a cut out of the claim if approved and paid. This culture of false claims is not only happening at the Treasury, Finance, and National Planning or Lands departments. It is widespread across all government departments and institutions. This is not a secret anymore. You will see a lot of yellow envelopes floating around at the Vulupindi house. How such claims are entertained is anyone’s guess but the very

By STEVEN ANDRE Is there are Court Order preventing any body to raise or discuss any recent illegal payments to Paul Paraka? Time and again, when an issue about this monster called Paul Paraka Lawyers is about to surface either in Court, Parliament, Media or anywhere else, a so called “Court Order” is pleaded/waved to suppress. Well, Mr Paraka can wave the Court Order as high as he can, but let’s read the contents of the order.  The relevant parts of the Justice Sakora’s Orders he granted on Saturday 6th March 2010 reads: 2. Pending the determination of leave application, an interim injunction is granted staying the implementation of the recommendations in the Final Report of the Commission of Inquiry generally into the Finance Department pursuant to the inherent powers of the Court under Section 155(3)(a) of the Constitution. 3.

By LUCAS KIAP When the Nation was in grief over the continuous violent crime against women and children and obsessed with the hunting down of the escapee bank robber Kapris last week, there was another story crept into the mainstream media unnoticed with less attention.  On Wednesday, May 15, 2013, the headlines of the mainstream media reported that the Bank robber William Nanua Kapris was escaped with two other high profile criminals from the maximum prison cells in Bomana prison outside of Port Moresby the previous day. On the same day in Australia, there was another event unfolding with Australian Authorities seized properties belong to PNG’s own businessman from East New Britain, Eremas Wartoto as reported by the Age Newspaper. What made these two stories stood out from the other events happening around the country on the same day, notably the National Haus Krai by the Women Arise PNG movement?  Walliam Nanua Kapris is a celebrity yet a convicted criminal, murderer and rapist who h

By LUCAS KIAP The poor nation has jumped ship again. This time, they want the convicted criminal, bank robber and murderer Walliam Nanua Kapris shot to death or worse, captured and hanged alive. Yes he has escaped at a time when the country has been plagued with violent crimes against our women and children. He is seen to be adding salt to a wound yet to be healed. All the anger, frustrations, and wrath of the seven million people of Papua New Guinea are now upon this man. He is more than a condemn man now as the verdict for his death sentence is seen to be handed down by himself because of his second escape from prison. He would have been crucified alive if we were living during the time of Jesus but how far he can run is the guess of those who are betting heavily on his final death verdict. However, if all countries were free of convicted criminals, murders, or rapists PNG is seen to be creating history and hitting the news headlines across the globe for all the wrong reasons. One ma
