SRC PRESIDENT AND MINING ENGINEERING STUDENT RICHARD ARTHUR MABIRIA HAS COMPLETED DESTROYING UNITECH SRC REPUTATION FOR FIGHTING CORRUPTION.   MABIRIA ORGANISED STUDENT MAFIA PLANS TO TAKE CONTROL IN THIS WEEK'S OCTOBER SRC ELECTION INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY PNG BLOGS:   More than a month ago we started getting urgent messages on PNG Blogs Facebook from some final year students at Papua New Guinea University of Technology. They reported that their Student Representative Council (SRC) had transformed from an outstanding national role model for justice during the Unitech Saga to a non-transparent group lacking financial accountability and strangely opposite of last year's SRC in fighting government actions that hurt the university.  We were begged to warn others nationwide and this we did, putting up postings on PNG Blogs Facebook page.  We always believe in promoting transparency in governance.   Now we hear that the predicted corruption has taken place as detailed in the stude

by MICHAEL J PASSINGAN Incredible as it may seem, existing evidence with the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) indicates that three foreign female friends of the Prime Minister Peter O’Neill have falsely claimed to be Papua New Guinean by Nationality or they have knowingly allowed false information regarding their Nationality to be wrongly registered with IPA – perhaps deliberately for the purpose of carrying on certain activities in Papua New Guinea - without due regard and compliance to existing laws and regulations; and possibly for the avoidance of paying certain fees such as high work permit fees (per annum) to the Department of Labour and Industrial Relations in Port Moresby. Under the Investment Promotion Act 1992 consolidated to No 3 of 2004, ““foreign enterprise" means an enterprise which is not a national enterprise or a citizen; and “"national enterprise" means an enterprise more than 50% of which is owned directly or indirectly by a citizen,…”. This mean

by BRYAN KRAMER DISTRICT COURT REFUSES TO HEAR APPLICATION FOR WARRANT OF ARREST AGAINST DAMARU, GITUA & THEIR LAWYER. This morning Officer-in-charge of Special Police Internal Investigation team Inspector Jacob Ivaroa set up under the authority of Commissioner of Police appeared in District Court before Senior Magistrate Cosmar Bidar seeking three warrants of arrest against Director of National Fraud & Anti-corruption Directorate Mathew Damaru , his former Deputy Timothy Gitua and their Lawyer McRonald Nale of Jema Lawyers.

by BRYAN KRAMER I have observed countless comments on social media over the past twelve months by individuals accusing Digicel of stealing from them. However they couldn't really explain why or how it was being done. I also noted a number of instances where credits on my own phone seemed to vanish into thin air. So I decided to take time out from my rather busy schedule exposing and deposing corruption of public funds to look into whether there was any truth in the allegations that Digicel has been stealing from it's customers. What I uncovered was quite concerning, rather serious allegations that Digicel has committed deceptive and unfair practice of defrauding it's pre-paid customers who subscribe to their Mobile Data Plan Service. Digicel PNG provides Mobile Data Service to its pre-paid customers.

By GK, an Insider at Police Headquarters Police Commissioner Gari Baki is a dangerous man running the Police Force. Baki, who has a history for controversy such as doing business with hire car companies, is a FAILED POLITICIAN. Prime Minister Peter O’Neill appointed Baki when former Commissioner Geoffrey Vaki was about to be convicted and sentenced for obstructing the arrest of Mr O’Neill. There is no room to guess what Baki’s mission was –look after the interest of his master.   Upon taking office, his first business was to request a brief from the National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate (NFACD) to provide a brief on PM O’Neill’s case. That is understood to have been done. Upon his request, the NEC appointed an Acting Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Mr Raphael Huafolo who is also a failed politician but a faithful lieutenant to Baki previously. Both Baki and Huafolo are politicians and ‘outsiders’ (meaning they left the force long time) running the pol

by MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN   In a Minute dated 30/07/2015, controversial Police Commissioner Gari Baki wrote to his controversial Acting Deputy Commissioner Raphael Huafolo with the following contents: “This is to reiterate my previous instruction to the National Fraud Squad Anti-Corruption Directorate. No more Warrants of Arrests are to be obtained direct from the Courts. All requests for Warrants of Arrest by Police are to be referred to you for vetting and approval prior to referral to the Courts. Bring this to the notice of NFACD. Breaches will result in departmental action taken against officer concerned.” This minute is believed to have been circulated to all the Police throughout the country as there are fraud and corruption divisions and officers in all the provinces. PNG Blogs approached a prominent lawyer who has been practising law since the early 1990s and the lawyer bluntly said “unconstitutional and corruption at the highest level.” The lawyer said “ap

by BRYAN KRAMER   The National Alliance Party convened its first formal caucus meeting on Saturday (26/9/15). The meeting was called by four party members led by former Attorney General Kerenga Kua and Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare to discuss the concerns about the state of the economy and whether it was in the Party's best interest to stay in Government going into 2017 National Elections. Political insiders confirmed that Pruaitch met with Prime Minister Peter O'Neill the day before he agreed to the meeting. It was alleged Prime Minister put to Pruaitch in no uncertain terms if he fails to get NA's house in order they would be sacked from his Government. Senior Ministers close to the Prime Minister were openly boasting on the eve of the meeting Pruaitch would sack both Somare and Kua from NA. The meeting was convened around mid-day and attended by the full 14 Members of NA. The motion was moved and seconded whether it was in the best interest to stay in Government. Eac

Supreme Court today dismissed the appeal by Minister of Finance James Marape challenging an earlier decision allowing Director of National Fraud & Anti-Corruption join the Supreme Court proceedings that issued a interim injunction against Marape and Prime Minister's arrest. Marape's appeal to remove Damaru and Gitua was supported by the Prime Minister, Commissioner of Police and Attorney General and Paraka Lawyers. Damaru and Gitua were granted leave (permission) in March 2015 by Supreme Court Judge Terrence Higgins. Supreme Court proceedings were initiated by Marape challenging an earlier decision by the National Court in July 2014 refusing Prime Minister and Marape's application seeking an interim stay order from the Court preventing Police from arresting them in relation to fraudulent payments to Paraka Lawyers. After filing the SC proceedings Marape and Prime Minister then moved a further application asking SC to stay their arrest until the SC determines their app

by YAKAN LEPAKAILI This country of Papua New Guinea is taken by storm and citizens must not be in laid-back mood but wake up to the realities and be proactive. Take heed of danger warning signs. Pay attention to resonating warning alarm bells reverberated across the spectrum and get the feel of an urgency of day and age in which we are living. All forces (political, economy & spiritual) are at work behind the scene ready to unleash and in whatever form or shape that might come, only our preparedness will withstand the onslaught. For we surely will pay for passivity and pay at a higher price should nothing is done to avoid the inevitability. The ripple effect of absentmindedness will hit those in the middle bracket and below and will hit hard. Concern need to raise and be counted in the number for greater good. In the gospel of Luke records a statement of Christ and it is paraphrased, “how hypocritical can you be to discern the wind direction and determine to be a hot day and
