SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST POLICE COMMISSIONER GEOFFREY VAKI

Image
Analysis by BRYAN KRAMER This morning the Supreme Court handed down its ruling against Police Commissioner Geoffrey Vaki's view that he as the Head of the Police Constabulary has constitutional powers under Section 198 of Constitution to set aside the arrest warrants against the PM. Section 198 of the Constitution provides for the office of Commissioner of Police and prescribes his powers as being responsible for the superintendence, efficient organization and control of the Force in accordance with the Police Act 1998. Vaki argued that as the Commissioner of Police he has wide powers, control, and superintendence of the Police Force and such powers give him the right or discretion to withdraw arrest warrants. In defence against Vaki's case Fraud Squad Members represented by Egan and former Police Commissioner Tom Kulunga represented by Moses Murry argued that a warrant or arrest was an order by the District Court which must be followed. Any disobedience to the order is cont

To The Innocent Israeli People Brought to PNG To Create Innovative Agriculture Industrial Complex

By Tutsul Kagl   Our Agriculture Minister Tommy Tomscoll has said many times the importance of our small scale farmers in PNG agriculture.   Women especially, but also men, they are backbones in our country  with roots in agriculture going back 10 thousands years ago.  Our village farmers have been supplemented for many years by resident companies here for the long haul.  Some have their heart in the country such as Zenag Farms in Morobe Province which produces chickens and eggs.  This company was started by Mick Leahy, one of the 3 whiteman prospectors who ventured into the interior of our country in the early 1930s and discovered the existence of our highlands peoples, the news of which went around the world.   Zenag company is owned by the son of Mick Leahy who is here as a citizen. Those long term companies involved in PNG agriculture have struggled the last few years because our government does not restrict cheap Chinese and Indonesian foods flooding into PNG and forcing the

A GROWING MOUNTAIN OF STRANGENESS REGARDING ISRAEL’S LR GROUP ATTEMPT TO TAKE OVER PROVISION OF ELECTRICITY TO PAPUA NEW GUINEANS

By      אנשים ישראליים טובים עוזרים לנו לחקור אותך LR Group, the company that Peter O’Neill and State Enterprises Minister Ben Micah have already apparently made a deal with to take over PNG Power, superficially appears like a company without workers.    Based in Israel it lists at least one non-existent address for its office sites and its other supposed offices seem to be in warehouse like buildings which may house other companies as well.   LR Group relies mainly on contract employees, recruited from around the world on the basis of their CVs.   It throws them all together to create projects in developing countries, many of which seem hopelessly unsustainable and uncapable of being taken over and run by local people.   Developing countries are the ideal location for these kinds of throw together operations as the level of scrutiny and quality control is usually low.   Once started, local governments may desperately keep the operations going by continuing to pay LR Group

Under the spotlight - PM By Government Insider Updated: 11:48am Current investigations into international money-laundering have extended directly into the Office of the Prime Minister, Peter O’Neill, the Bank of Papua New Guinea, the Fly River Provincial Government, PNG Power Ltd, the Department of Treasury and other Government institutions, focussing on the Israeli company LR Group Ltd, which is closely involved at the highest levels of the O’Neill and Western Province administrations. The inquiries under way within PNG and overseas are believed to involve the PNG authorities including the Sam Koim SWEEP Team, Australian agencies and Interpol.  The growing power and control of LR group in many aspects, activities and levels of government has attracted the interest of local and international investigators conducting existing inquiries into a number of cases, predominantly Mr O‘Neill’s involvement in the Paraka lawyers scandal. LR Group wields significant inf

“Excess gas” to be released to make power, Mr Marape? How generous (NOT!)

By Mangi Souths What kind of bullcrap is coming out of the mouth of James Marape now?  This fat fellow is very wrong that Hela has been without electricity since the early 1990’s when Hides gas field was opened up to supply Pogera.   There has been generator power in Tari off and on.   The issue is that the power lines from Hides to Pogera went past Tari all these years not one person in government said to the operator of Hides and Pogera that this was unacceptable.  People of Tari and Hela first before Pogera profits.   Those who neglected this issue include you, James Marape!  How many times have you been in Tari since you became MP and it did not come into your mind how unfair the situation is about Pogera getting first priority and the people of Hela no priority to use this electricity?  Are you only now making this discovery or too worried about putting more money in your pockets to make it a priority for action.  Isn’t this why we have the power shortage in the first place?
