By SAM BASIL MP I have released several comments about the never to be released 2014 as a result of much work that has been developed since the 2012 elections. My commentary provided to the people of Papua New Guinea (from the villages to the towns and everyone in between) has been done to ensure we get best economic outcomes for our country and all citizens.  The Prime Minister in Parliament on Friday provided a disrespectful response to the questions raised which is not unusual for a Prime Minister who has had the greatest opportunity to lead this great nation, but instead has overseen the complete mismanagement of the economy for the people of Papua New Guinea.  He further has taken action against the Opposition Leader as the questions he asked are probing and get to the heart of the matters – the Prime Minister does not tell the truth but works deals for his own personal outcome. The Prime Minister claims that I am lying which is his usual response when he and his g

By Unitech Loyalist UniTech confusion is getting worse.  Is Minister David Arore of HERST out of control in the O’Neill government or part of a government that lies at every turn?  The former council of UniTech created this mess. The new council headed by Sir Nagora Bogan is the possible way out of this mess but council can’t approve the Sevua report because Minister David Arore ordered the report not to be acted upon even within the council meeting. Minister Arore is hiding the report to protect corrupt members of the old UniTech council.  Minister Arore is following Don Polye’s unwise decision a few months back that the report would not be made public.Meanwhle those who plan to take over UniTech by year end are spreading propaganda around campus at this very moment to tell staff to except the change in UniTech leadership back to the old council. Acting VC Prof John Pumwa is the boss right now at UniTech. Unfortunatly he is now helping Minister David Arore keep UniTech national staff

JAMES POWI I have been watching silently on the sidelines minding my own business, but it has occurred to me that I can’t keep silent anymore! I must air my views regarding what I call a “political virus” aka Peter O’Neill. First and foremost, let me be frank, PM Peter O’Neill is undoubtedly the worst Prime Minister this nation has ever seen. Under his watch, he has allowed the PNG Kina to slide down within a period of less than one year 2013 which in my books sits at the top of all his blunders and you all are well aware that he has made many! The devaluation of the Kina is his direct fault because as the “CEO” of this country, he and his Treasurer and Finance Ministers have failed miserably to store funds to mitigate the impact the lowering of prices of our major export commodities gold, copper and silver. They have further contributed enormously by taking a blind $6 Billion Loan From the Exim Bank of China of which in essence is an ‘import’ (money going out). And it does not stop th

By SIMON TIPU Recently there where a good number of posts regarding the systematic and systemic corruption being perpetrated by politicians, and people in positions of power. The lies, the deceits and betrayals that has become the norm in PNG. So many of this vitriolic posts have being directed against the current Government headed by Peter O'Neill, his Ministers, other MPs in the Govt, heads of the bureaucracy, SOEs, and etc. In 2012, when PNG last held its National Elections, many commentators said that the Elections was rigged and people who they didn't think would become MPs in the current Parliament somehow won a seat. Most MPs with their Parties in tow supported PO in a landslide win to become the PM of PNG whether he was accused of breaching the Constitution when he first grabbed power in August of 2011. When Somare was PM, the Australians have always said that PNG was a failed state and they were prepared to intervene. Why was that? What had Somare done to receive veile
