by WALI DAVID In the first part of this article, I began to outline the strategy that almost guarantees PNG winning the 2017 elections in a landslide and puts the Prime Minister in position to remain in power for as long as he wants, even for life.   There are 4 different parts to this strategy.   In Part1, the necessity of focusing the 2017 campaign on rural open seats and forget about urban electorates was explained.   Following that, the need to politicize the Electoral Commission so that it came firmly under PNC control but remaining a government body was explained.    We will now turn to the 3 rd strategy of the grand plan that would allow the PNC to win the 2017 election in a landslide.   GRAND STRATEGY 3-  AT THE BEGINNING OF ELECTION YEAR, BEGIN TRANSFER OF LARGE SUMS OF PUBLIC MONEY TO RURAL DISTRICTS This part of the strategy involves putting together a massive warchest to fund candidates.   Specfiically, it involves acquiring and sending large sums of p

by WALI DAVID “If you don’t like the Prime Minister, contest against him or vote for someone who is running against him!” The above statement only has meaning if two conditions are met.  First, we would all have to be constitutionally given the power to vote directly for the top leader in the land.   We do not have that power and do not elect the Prime Minister directly.  Only 56 votes from the 111 MPs are needed to elect the Prime Minister and that process is easily corrupted because of the many opportunities to coerce, intimidate, and bribe those MPs in return for their vote.  The way PNG’s laws are currently structured, indirect payment in return for votes is probably legal even though it is unethical and corrupt.   Even in Ialibu-Pangia district, the above advice to “vote against him if you don’t like him” only works if each vote cast is counted and counted accurately.   That means no intimidation or looking over the shoulders of voters.  No ballot box stuffing or acc

NIUGINI OUTLOOK Before we hear any outcry from the loyalists screaming that Niugini Outlook is in the pay of this, that or the other politician, or that Niugini Outlook shouldn’t throw stones at glass houses because we probably live in one too, let us tirelessly and cheerfully address those complaints as follows. First, anyone bothering to look through the m ore than 1,500 posters and associated articles on our Facebook site knows very well that we pick on anyone who deserves to be picked on because of unethical or illegal actions as public personalities, especially those who are in jobs that are expected to serve the public interest. Yes, Peter O’Neill is an adulterer but Sam Basil is too and we’ve called them both out. Yes, Patrick Pruaitch is a major crook and so is Belden Namah. James Marape is a fraud and so is Don Poyle. We’ve called them all out. What is our moral authority to call these people out, don’t we at Niugini Outlook also commit sins and live in our own glass ho

NIUGINI OUTLOOK MYSTERIOUS OCTOPUS TENTACLES OF THE SINGAPORE KICKBACK SCAM    If the Post Courier and The National continue to be so hopeless at being able to investigate what has already been published on the internet overseas about the USD $750+ million Michael Somare Singapore Kickback Scam, it looks like social media activists who aren't even trained journalists and don't get paid a thing for doing this work, will have to do the job instead and risk threats of prosecution under Peter O'Neill's new Dictatorship and Corruption Friendly Cybersecurity Act.  STEP BY STEP OF THE KICKBACK SCAM To start, here is a compilation of what the story now consists of. 1/  In 2010 PM Michael Somare obtained thru the Natl Planning Office K56 million+ K90 million in Chinese Exim Bank loans + K17 million allocated to Merienburg Community College Trust Account (East Sepik Province) to build 15 community colleges throughout PNG to address the massive unemployed Grade 12 leaver prob

Anonymous Submission PNGScape:   Famous in PNG Internet History The most spectacular and oppressive censorship of free speech in PNG History occurred sometime after 22 August 2016. Over 15 years worth of thousands of postings on many PNG issues disappeared forever with the secret dismantling of the pngscape.net discussion site.   Any long time internet junkie from PNG knows PNGScape.   It has been around since 2002 and proven most popular discussion forum of its time.  Prominent PNG businessman and citizen Mr Anthony Smare is often stated to be man behind the scenes to set up this unique resource that proved so popular.   PNGScape had over 20 different forums on network54 ranging from a Komiuniti Board to politics board and over to women's issues, jokes, religion and such.    Several regional forums were especially popular, including Highlands Forum.   These forums went wild with discussion during election time with much heated debate in 2007 and again
