Actually days ago UNRE joined the fight that UPNG and Unitech have been involved with.   We just weren’t told by the media. by KAREN WAN The biggest problem we have in PNG is that there isn’t enough news being reported.    Some of this is due to the newspapers being very selective about what they will publish.   Much of the problem is due to people not reporting the news that they eyewitness, even though nowdays with our mobile phones we can easily take photos, write a short story, and at least post it on social media. But mipela les lo wokim.  After 3 days of nonreporting the event by the mainstream media as well as students themselves, finally we are told that UNRE students went on boycott days ago.    The article in today’s THE NATIONAL newspaper reported that the reason for the boycott isn’t to pressure the PM to step down but instead, continued malpractices and maladministration at UNRE.   However, what they are boycotting for is not really much different from

by LEKEM LAKI Funeral for late Anderson Pawa Agiru on hold (4/5/16 – Post Courier) enchanted by Hela people will have little bearing. People of Hela and rest of Papua New Guinea were denied by Robert Mugabe type regime in the Pacific. Peter O’Neil reckons he is an answer to PNG’s political, economic, social and spiritual woes but little do the people know PO was an egocentric, an opportunist raging wolf in sheep’s skin. He seizes on the opportunity to squeeze everything and country virtually is taken over the country vicious character. Economically, country is placed in a precarious situation and struggling to thrive in a competitive business world. He sucked every juice out of the system leaving the people high and dry and Hela people are of no exception though Hela province hosts the multi billion Kina project. Combining with pack of wolfs have sucked all the money out of former NPF now NASFUND and the same team is in and partying on the gains of the blessed island of gold, fl

by Damien George Why aren’t we hearing voices from Divine Word University students in the media right now?  From University of Goroka?  Even from the Vudal University of Natural Resources?   Are they quiet because it is easy for them to get jobs after they graduate?  Are they blindly impressed with Peter O’Neill’s nonstop legacy of building overpriced roads and buildings that start to crumble right after the last kickback is paid?  Do they like having a sleezemaster represent our country who has thrown away tens of millions of trying to set up a stupid new university in the middle of nowhere (Ialibu airstrip) instead of stopping the infrastructure collapse any fool can see is happening at our existing public universities?   Are UNRE students quiet because the students of the other universities did nothing to unify and help them depose of their useby date expired VC?   Are UOG students so quiet because no other uni student government stood by their side either during their vicious fig

by LEKEM LAKI SHORT SIGHTED WITH NO BENEFIT AND COST ANALYSIS LEADING TO FOOLISH JUDGEMENT COSTING STATE MUCH NEEDED MONEY. I write to express my disgust and disapproval on the controversial judgement by a learned judge who presided over the election petition case between Hon. Don Pomb Polye and Alfred Luke Manase. The judgement is thought provoking, illogical, unmerited and senseless decision in totality. Compare and contrast the statistics courtesy of electoral commission and do a benefit and cost analysis of the episode of recount. Does it warrant such a judgement? Not merely the timing factor but the decision that is of no great benefit to the state at the crucial time when the country is rattled with gross mismanagement of country’s economy and proliferation of massive corruption courtesy of ruthless regime of PO. According to Electoral Commissioner Gamato’s testament, he needs three quarter of a million Kina (K850, 000.00) to do the recounting. In those disputed boxes, the t

by UNITECH STUDENT OBSERVER Here at Unitech Lae, the SRC is trying to twist the truth around and blaming certain groups of students for rebelling against the SRC and not following legal procedures. Let it be made clear to the world that the executive members of Unitech SRC have forced some students to take matters into their own hands. They did so because the SRC as a whole is showing complete disorganization and dragging their feet in organizing students. They are not moving forward clearly to join hands with UPNG to force the PM to step aside, be arrested and interviewed, and allow justice to take its course with no further interference on his part. The rebel students refuse to let the SRC trick us all and either stop or slow down the process to make Unitech once again a leading force to educate all people of PNG as to our future if we allow Peter O’Neill to continue blocking all attempts to prevent his arrest and investigation for numerous corruptions. The SRC should not e

by SAMSON LAMA At long last the students of UPNG, Unitech, and hopefully UOG, UNRE and Divine Word Institute are opening their eyes to seeing that our current Prime Minister, Dishonourable Peter ONeill, is a very corrupt human being. He has fooled even himself into thinking that he works for betterment of PNG.  In truth he is a konmangi always looking for a new scam that puts more money in his pockets.   As 1 of countless numbers of examples, Peter ONeill has never explained his extremely strange behavior of being in such a hurry to sign the K3 billion UBS loan which ended up contributing to the crash of our currency.   It was O’Neill who hurriedly agreed to UBS loan terms that all LNG revenue be stored in a Singapore bank instead of being brought into PNG to help save our kina value.  None of his explanations explain his extreme urgency to sign the UBS loan without getting parliamentary and NEC approval ahead of time as he is supposed to do under the law.  All indications ar

PNGBCN DCJ Salika told the Commissioner that  his action to have the Office Shut down is already contemptuous if it is proved in this court, however because he respects his status and position, he will leave it up to him to open the office. If he fails to do it then he will issue court orders.  He said I want the office to be opened and in operation. Baki’s statements were in regard to accountability and he was restating them however the DCJ didn’t seem that interested in his affidavit and said all that he had said was none of his business. Baki was put into the dock and Interrogated He was asked why he had to lock the office. He said it was admin decision. Why was it that you deal with an individual instead of the whole office? Baki was really emotional as if he was going to burst out. Outside the court room, Baki was about to be served with contempt charges filed by fraud officers in relation to his actions when police mobile squad officers close to Baki pushed and assaulted

by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN Prime Minister Peter O’Neill, his personal adviser Dr Jakob Weiss, Chief Secretary Isaac Lupari and Police Commissioner Gari Baki are involved in a secret plot with LR Group of Israel to create a private intelligence agency and secret paramilitary spy force in Papua Guinea. The four have already handed over some of the nation’s most secret intelligence information to LR Group, which is headed in Papua New Guinea by Weiss’s son Ilan. This includes top-secret internal National Intelligence Organization documents and the methodology whereby all PNG security intelligence operations cooperate and coordinate activities and information. These organisations include NIO, the Defence Force, the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary, Customs, and National Fisheries. The infiltration of the NIO by LR Group means that all of PNG’s security intelligence networks have been compromised. Oversight and control of the network is now in the hands of LR

by WAIGANI INSIDER The PM and his advisors aren’t dumb.  As it became more apparent what an economic mess the government had gotten PNG into, they were clear that more people would start speaking out. When anticorruption activist Noah Anjo organized his protests last year and MP Don Polye followed, the PM knew that he had to act fast.   The word was sent out not to allow any protests that were against the PM (this did not extend to TI protests. PM believes that TI protests aren’t any threat to his power and by allowing them to continue, he can say that he supports efforts to fight corruption).    The PM effectively keeps his MPs bought off but he fears public outrage.  Last October was the first serious threat to the PM’s authority, when Noah Anjo organized a protest march from Jack Pidik park to Parliament to support a vote of no confidence on the PM.   Anjo’s request for a protest permit was also turned down.  When Anjo got a court order allowing the protest, the PM knew tha
