PNGBLOGS Contributor Network An in-depth analysis of the Ipatas-led government needs to be presented to the people of Enga and aspiring supporters throughout the country. Serious considerations have to be made on the characteristics of the Ipatas government for the last 17 years, his achievements and the future of Enga on the current sails. As implicated in the PAC findings in 2004, it is sad to reflect that the founding fathers of our nation and those that followed immediately thereafter with the likes of Mr Peter Ipatas, began the journey to self-governance with the same corrupt and bribery attitude as is widespread today. People like Pais Wingti and Ipatas were the 'refiners' of the corrupt system. As for Wingti, he never got a chance to finish his university degree but became a politician while doing his 3 rd year at UPNG. Ipatas followed, due to unsatisfactory performance and disciplinary matters and went back to his home village in Irelya in Enga Provinc

After the death of former NBC Board Chairman the late Cain Wosae, who was once a Department of Finance Deputy Secretary, the National Government appointed ex parliamentarian and Imbongu MP, Timothy Tala as the new NBC Board Chairman. Tala is a graduate Communications Engineer from the University of Technology in Lae in 1996. He served one term as a member of Parliament from 1997 to 2002. It took some months for Tala to take up his post after the announcement by the government as Memafu Kapera, had stalled all the appointment requirements and protocols for the new chairman to get into office. Memafu had enjoyed operating as a one man show at the NBC after the passing of Wosae without a fully functional board and a deputy managing director. He did not accept anyone to sit above or next to him and take orders from. To him there is no real need for a Board and a Deputy Managing Director at the NBC as he has this foolish notion that he had all things covered

Dear Memafu Kapera, Can you be man enough to explain to the Government of Papua New Guinea and taxpayers about the social media queries regarding the controversial over excessive housing rental of your equally corrupt NBC Human Resource and Administration Director, Janet Amean. The solid proof and cheque numbers on excel spreadsheet is disclosed herewith again. Your silence on the issue may suggest you are guilty and has a lot to hide on other similar irregular payments and financial anomalies at the NBC. Just to refresh us all, Janet Amean was removed from the Department of Mining because she was incompetent over there. You dragged her over to the NBC and made her a Director because she is your neighbor for many years. You use her connections with politicians and people in the public service to secure your job and in return Amean can run amok and does whatever she pleases at the NBC and you don’t have the balls to control her. Shame on you and Janet Amean.
