PNGBlogs Papua New Guineans will wake up this morning to learn that Prime Minister and two very senior Ministers, Don Polye and James Marape, Ministers responsible for Finance and Treasury respectively have colluded with the Paraka Lawyers law firm in siphoning money belonging to the State in paying out bogus legal bills. Paul Paraka Lawyers principal was arrested last week and is now out on bail. What is startling from this latest development is that Papua New Guineans will now come to know that the Peter O’Niell PNG’s Prime Minister is a serial LIAR and does not have control over this government and cabinet. Internal documents now confirm the authority given to the two Ministers came from the Prime Minister himself,   the two ministers have been a willing party to collaborate with the Law firm by directing their offices in issuing warrant to release payments to Paraka Lawyers.

By GOVERNOR GARY JUFFA MP The two dailies are owned by foreign interest, foreign corporate interest to be specific. Papua New Guinea does not own a daily, one that is at least controlled by a Papua New Guinean, one that reports issues of interest to Papua New Guinea and Papua New Guineans. What is reported instead is merely what sells, what suits the interests of those who control these entities and that which does not in anyway conflict with the interests of the stakeholders that influence the output of these entities. Certainly the journalists are Papua New Guineans, but they are subject to the parameters defined by the powers that be that maintain control over what is allowed to run for print and public consumption. Many credible journalists leave after frustrating efforts to be true to their vocation. This is of no concern to the papers as there are many more where they came from. I assert this because several examples of news of much significance to Papua New Guinea and Papua New

PNGBLOGS In late January 2013 Prime Minister O’Neill announced there would be an inquiry to investigate the growing problems at Papua New Guinea’s University of Technology (UNITECH).   The report produced by respected Judge Sevua was to be the road forward and the final word on a saga that had been slowly growing and exposing to the world the widely acknowledged massive corruption that had taken over the leadership of this once fine university. The Sevua  report was given promise to resolve everything peacefully and provide hope for the future. Treasury Minister Don Polye promised that he would solve the problem without further need for disruption of classes.    Minister Polye, who had served in earlier governments as Minister for Higher Education, was appointed by our Prime Minister to fill in for fellow THE Party member Minister David Arore, who stepped down temporarily from the HERST ministry to deal with corruption allegations back in his home Oro Province. The Sevua investigation

By GRAHAM ROBINSON It has been an ongoing issue where media outlets have deliberately helped to omit Press Conference Media Statements and concerns raised during media conferences especially by Opposition Leader Hon Belden Namah on issues of massive corruption in this country. The below media release was not reported in the papers nor on EMTV or the radio stations due to an email I will also post that was sent out by PM's Media Chief. The National on two occasions last week deliberately omitted the Opposition leader's Media Statements with explanation, it is before the courts when it was not. Even to an extent where we were told they could publish at their own discretion. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POST IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS; PART A - OPPOSITION MEDIA RELEASE PART B - EMAIL TO ALL MEDIA OUTLETS BY PM's MEDIA PERSON PART C  - RESPONSE FROM OPPOSITION MEDIA OFFICE PART A - OPPOSITION MEDIA RELEASE From the Office of the Opposition Leader Hon Belden Namah 24 July 2013 MEDIA S
