by YAKAN LEPAKALI The member for Kompiam/Ambum is serving his fourth term in Parliament as member elect for the electorate. He first got elected in 1992 general election and retained seat in 1997. In 2002, he opted to contest the Enga regional seat challenging seating regional member Peter Ipatas but lost for he was egocentric. He returned to politics in 2007 and contested for Kompiam/Ambum, the seat he vacated when vying for Enga regional. He defeated the incumbent seating member Dickson Maki.

He is Hon. Justin Thatchenko, Minister for Sports and the 2015 XV Pacific Games. This is the very ministry that previous successive governments failed to give more allocations in their yearly national budgets.   This first time politician promised to deliver the 2015 XV Pacific Games on record time, opposing his critics and the passion he has to grow sports in PNG is welcome. Sports Development is a dead issue for the past three decades and the decades of negligence has resulted in zero sporting facilities in rural communities with absolutely dysfunctional spo
