By Kundiawa Blogger Is it Simbu or is it Chimbu?  Those from up on top put that confusion on us long ago, and most of us have still not learnt the correct answer to the question.  But there is no doubt that the people of this mountainous province rank amongst the hardest working people in the nation.  Starting from memory with Sir Iambakey Okuk and extending to the present, many Simbuans have served our nation with honour. Now the eyes of the nation are focused directly on the people of Simbu for they have suddenly pushed themselves into the forefront of Parakagate and the Corruption Scandal of Peter O’Neill.    The people of other places in the highlands, including the home province of the Prime Minister himself, are speaking out loud and clear that the continued obstructions to justice and coverup of corruption allegations by the Prime Minister of this country must STOP.   Young people, who see their future destroyed by the mounting national debt to pay off secret kickbacks and o

He also suspends Director Legal Nicholas Miviri. Mr. Vaki requests investigation files for Prime Minister and Paul Paraka from Damaru and them.

The fear is that they might get the files and destroy them. This is a sign that Fridays decision at the court will not favor them so they are desperate to play heavy handed tactics.

By PNG Special Correspondent Actually, now is not the time.   It was the time more than 2 years ago.   Now it’s way past time for PNG’s business community to step up to the plate.  We don’t mean the businesses who are part and parcel of the kickbacks and bribes that have spoiled PNG and threaten now to impoverish our people.  We also aren’t talking about businesses who try to cheat our country of every last toea in taxes that they should be paying to relieve the backs of the common worker.   No, we talking about businesses who do things ethically in PNG and provide essential services for us all.  It is past time for you to stop mumbling and instead to stand up and be counted. For a group who prides yourselves in being entrepreneurial and proactive when the general public is not, it is amazing how reactive and petty your performance has always been in regard to corrupt business practices and corrupt governments.     Dear business community,  it is time to stand up and be counte

PROUD HIGHLANDER By LEO HENRY MORGAN Speaking as a central Highlander, we are a hardy bunch no doubt molded by our harsh environment and climate. I leave the Eastern Highlanders out of the argument as they are linguistically and culturally more related to coastal tribes. The tribes occupying the central Highlands Cordillera from the now 6 Highlands Region provinces starting from Simbu, Jiwaka, Western Highlands and Southern Highlands, Enga and Hela provinces can be accurately classified as a single race because of their similar languages, customs and their common aggressive character traits. Our people and society is dark, scary and culturally complex to the outside observer. Ours is a society in which the "big man" rules supreme. Where women are second class citizens that are a man's properties. Where warriors kill at will and take land and property at will. AND ULTIMATELY, WHERE A MAN IS MEASURED BY THE AMOUNT OF WEALTH THAT HE HAS, AND THE AMOUNT OF GUILE HE USE

By MALA DINONEL  My fellow Papua New Guineans. The Prime Minister is not only corrupt and dictatorial, but he is also arrogant and intentionally evil. He steals and lies about it. He tells lies and blames others. He blames others and threaten them. He does wrong and fires those who point out his wrongs. He refuses to answer questions before the Fraud Squad, but he loves to bull-shit the journalists (most of whom have no experience in investigative journalism). He passes legislations aimed at entrenching and sustaining his own power. He does shit and says he is doing it “for the interest of the country.” Well, the time has finally come for the people to let the Prime Minister KNOW what our interests are. If the Prime Minister does not “step down” and allow the “rule of law” to “clear his good name,” we will CLOSE PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Below are the details for THIS THURSDAY: PORT MORESBY .
