by TELIKOM INSIDERS The recent appointment of Mahesh Patel as Chairman of the Kumul Telikom Holdings Ltd, has given him the upper end to continue to meddle in the decision making affairs of the Executive Government in the running of Telikom PNG Ltd. Patel and his other Fiji/Indian friends in the likes of Sundar Ramamurthy, CEO Bemobile now resigned and Bhanu Sud, terminated from EMTV as CEO and re-employed in Telikom by Mahesh Patel and Michael Donnelly, are collaborating amongst themselves to steal from PNG’s premier communication companies just before the country goes to the polls. This team is also preventing Telikom PNG from launching its new 4G LTE GSM Network for the people of Papua New Guinea for their own interests. Mahesh Patel, Papua New Guineans in Telikom PNG, have one message for you and your cohorts from Fiji/India. “Stop immediately because patience has run out and your time is up!” NEC Decision No: 360/2016 has revoked Michael Donnelly’s contract and subsequently ap

by GABRIEL RAMOI LLB My  Dear Prime Minister, As this  parliament comes to a close ,I take this opportunity to thank you and to review  your score card on a scale  of O – 10 on a  remarkable  journey  that began when you usurp power  in 2011 and  in the way you have taken the  nation for a ride  over the last 6 years . While you did not take all of us to the moon it was still a remarkable ride. 1.      On legitimacy of Government- I give you a score of 3/10. Firstly you did not   defer    the 2012 Elections although with the majority you had in Parliament at the time you could have easily delayed the conduct of the 2012 Elections.  I also  congratulate  you in allowing for the process of a vote of Confidence against you to take place on the 22nd of July  2016 as ordered by the Supreme Court and to congratulate you in successfully defeating  the motion with an overwhelming  majority. The score is balanced against your removal of  Task Force sweep and the Failure of the Justice system

By  Fasa Gima Stanley David I will highlights some very important personal views below and I hope nobody will take my view as political gimmick...well if you do so, it's your right as well as my right of freedom of expression. Firstly , we must know that Ignorance is one of the master killer of life's fabric of connections and survival. Below are some of Polye's ignorances that matters most to us the people that he boostfully represent and connections to his style of leadership (People's Connections to Polye's Leadership) For transparency sake, and as far as I know, let me tell my readers that few of the services delivered by our local MP are devalued and DSIP and Ministerial money were less used and I don't know where DSIP money most went...He was the minister all these 10 donkey years and nothing is shown in Kandep...If Sam Basil, a opposition MP can change Bulolo, whats wrong with our MP...!!? There is nothing that Justifies Mr Polye's existence

Former Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta said reported attempts by the Prime Minister to secretly sell valuable public assets to foreign interests, if true, are a sign of his desperation for cash to save his sinking ship. “Ad hoc decision-making like this, not as part of a comprehensive package of rescue measures, will make the nation’s problems worse and reduce the options for properly considered reconstruction in the future.” “We are virtually in the caretaker government period, at which point no significant decisions should be made, especially decisions that rob shareholders and landowners of their rights and the general public of their assets.” Sir Mekere said he had been given reliable information on three asset sales that are allegedly being negotiated behind closed doors – of the State’s 67% share in Ok Tedi Mining Ltd, the State’s 20% share in the Star Mountains Plaza hotel and 100% of APEC Haus. These sales involve very valuable assets, and the risk of selling them

by CYRIL GARE The ‘light house’ is crumbling Where the COVENANT OF MAN was sealed. A Government OF, BY, and FOR people was born. Our "knowns" from 42 years on as a nation state is a tapestry of good, bad and the ugly. Ahead, are more of the “unknowns” that provides anxiety and perplexity that which make life a worthy mysterious thoroughfare. I do not believe that hosting an election every one five years is in itself a means to a good end. Because we simply keep voting in ‘vicious circles’ of poverty. For instance, because of poverty we choose to elect politicians who promise the ‘wished-for-millennium’ that cargo will come from outside or simply change will happen. After he gets in, he entwines in the Waigani ‘web’ where the amphetamines of power, money and lavish lifestyles are rife. He becomes ‘politik-ally wise’ (as in ‘street wise’ in sociology) but only ends up as being corrupt. His promises unfulfilled. The wished-for-millennium is in the air. People unserved and

by JOHN ENDEMONGO KUA The prime minister Peter O'neill and his legal advisors Powes Parkop and Ano Pala , who had so far successfully deluded , many constitutional issues since the unconstitutional formation and conduct of government since the 2nd of August , 2011, when executive government powers was usurped by a rogue and defacto government, undermining the Constitution and the decorum of the rule of law as supreme. A Supreme Court Reference filed by the East Sepik Provincial Assembly was ruled on by the court as null and void , which yet again was ignored, with yet another unlawful conduct in passing defective legislation which barred the entry of the incumbent prime minister , Sir Michael Somare , refered to as a "stranger" in the house by the member for Bulolo, and ordered removed by the Speaker ( Nape ) in order to seize power. A second election was conducted illegally to create confusion and by time , with lawyers , for the government and a cheap and conte

by : Market Observer Recent scandal in Fiji regarding tens of Millions of 'Corporate Signage kickbacks ' contracts for  Vodafone Fiji has prompt me to asked if Bemobile has actually benefited with its 'market agreement ' with Vodafone. Since the Agreement was signed in July 2014, we have not seen any increased in quality services from Bemobile but rather fruitless attempts in branding. What also have seen is more visibility of Vodafone Branding then of Bemobile. We tend to wonder if the 'Marketing Agreement' is a Vodafone branding takeover and Bemobile being just another used vehicle by the corporate heavies who walks away with huge kickbacks and commissions for brokering this deal. It's all coming out in Fiiji, maybe ICCC might want to check on Bemobile also --- Vodafone and Bemobile announced Market Partnership agreement in PNG 10 July 2014 Vodafone Group Plc (“Vodafone”) and Bemobile Limited (trading as “bmobile”) today
