David Arore, One of PNG’s Premiere Ratbags Short On Party Money
BY ROBERT KELIN All Papua New Guineans, you should know about this man. His name is David Arore. He is a second term MP from Oro (Ijivitari). He is a one-time minister of higher education who in the process became one of PNG’s most celebrated clowns. He is an active partier, alcoholic and womaniser. He funds his vices by stealing our tax money. He escaped being found guilty of corruption by the courts last year (oh please – let’s not have more silly talk that in PNG, being found innocent in court means that you’re actually innocent of what you were accused of!). It doesn’t matter. Everyone who’s decent and knows anything about David Arore knows that he is one of PNG’s biggest pieces of shit.
