by GARY JUFFA MP PNG as a nation is collectively undergoing an extremely expensive education. Many lessons are being taught. We are our own teachers and students at once. We are fast being educated on leadership, choices, standards, patriotism or lack of it, appreciating what we have, the value of which we can only know after it is all gone etc...these are some of the lessons. The price? Our land and all on it and in it and under it and around it, our culture, our opportunities and our future and indeed our very existence. The question is, will we learn these lessons in time to do anything about what we have learnt or will it be too late? That remains to be seen. Right now we should see that we are indeed our own worst enemies. Thats right. All this is happening because we let it happen. We post the guardians at the gate. We entrust them with the power to screen and filter who comes in and who doesn't and what they can and cannot do. We choose whether to act or not when they do a

by JOSEPH ANGAMAI Since taking office through Election Fraud Peter Yama has had ⚫ NO ASSEMBLY MEMBERS ⚫ NO PEC MEMBERS ⚫ All 6 District MPS , Deputy Governor and all the LLG Presidents withdrew from working with Peter Yama. Peter Yama has been dictating the Administration and holding illegal PEC meetings and moving millions of kina with the help of Madang Town Mayor, Joe Yama and 4 other LLG Presidents who resigned last year to contest the National Election. Peter Yama has NO Permanent Executive Officers because he has been hiring and firing them when they try to control his misconduct and misappropriation of public funds or disobey his orders. Right now he is dictating all the Public Service Positions by himself. To easily dictate and remove all the funds, he has all these rubber stamps. * Ben Neneo as Provincial Police Commander * Ethal Valakui as Provincial Legal Officer * John Bivi as Acting Administrator * Markus Kachau as Acting Deputy Govern

by JOHN ENDEMONGO KUA While having coffee in Kundiawa with some church men and pastors in Kundiawa , I posed the question about how Moses had command of a sizeable army of 500,000 men who were fully armed to counteract any adversity that came their way as , they left Egypt to return to the promised land of milk and honey in Canaan. One clergy replied stating that even Moses was punished by God for doubting and being unsure of himself and the people of Israel whom he commanded to deliver to freedom. So I asked " Are we all going to pray and wait for the Lord to deliver us from this aliens from China , who have practically taken over our nation ? " After a pause from these man of God , one by the name of Pastor Barry Kupo , asked to share his own experience over his experience on a trip to Beijing with some of his church group. I was taken aback by the blessings of God who provided for church pastors and his faithfuls to trot the globe with ease and pai

by PAUL FLANAGAN Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Charles Abel’s credibility was on the line. Did he actually deliver on the 100 Day Plan promised reduction in PNG’s 2017 budget deficit from unsustainable levels? The answer is almost certainly “no”. The actual 2017 budget deficit is conservatively estimated at over K1 billion larger than claimed – largely due to not paying bills or GST refunds. The conservative estimate would lift the size of the 2017 Budget deficit from 2.4% to just under 4% of GDP. However, the upper bound deficit estimate is K2 billion larger – or more than double – the K1.8 billion budget deficit reported in the 2017 FBO. Even a 4% outcome would have better than the budget deficits of 2014 to 2016. However, the reductions were made in the wrong way. Expenditure was cut entirely in areas key for PNG’s future growth and concessional loan projects were delayed. Even using FBO figures, the blow-out in operating expenditures entirely consumed the claimed incre

by JEAN ROCKINGHAM The Port Moresby Stock Exchange (POMSoX) has excelled since its official inception in April of 1999. With its fundamental aim to provide a medium for mobilizing and raising national and international capital for the long-term benefit of the citizens in Papuan New Guinea, POMSoX has transcended efficaciously. POMSoX trading protocols and procedures are a mirror image of the Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) (the ASX licensed its Business and Listing Rules to POMSoX). With Papua New Guinea experiencing a resource boom especially in the mineral, oil and gas industries, international groups and companies have shown immense interest in doing business in Papua New Guinea. Those approved have listed themselves with POMSoX giving opportunity to ordinary citizens to buy and sell shares. Has general trading of shares benefited ordinary (individual) Papua New Guineans? The answer lies subdivide between those that have some knowledge and have traded, those

by JEAN ROCKINGHAM It is almost 5 years since the Laniata Legacy got established as a non-profiting organisation on April of 2013 in Brisbane, Australia. The inception of the Laniata Legacy bears the name of an innocent woman who was accused of sorcery, put through prolonged periods of public torture, humiliated and set ablaze to her death. Kepari Laniata was 20.  The formation of the Laniata Legacy proved significant at the time when both the domestic and international community woke up to the news of this barbaric act and were in need for information to fully comprehend how such savage ferociousness would transpire in a country renowned for its principles, moralities, ethics and beliefs all based in the Christian faith. From its inception in 2013 in Brisbane and gradually reaching PNG, the Laniata Legacy won hearts over as it took a bold step in publically condemning and openly denouncing every act leading to Kepari Laniata’s torture and death by way of demonstrations [anti

by  Velua Ralewa A wedlock deal made at Grand Papua in April of 2017 during the NCD roll update exercise, between the NCD election manager Terence Hetinu and Rita Rea Lavari, a roll update agent.  She been married to a very ill husband at the time, lying in his deathbed while Hetinu luring her with promises of escalation into the management hierarchy of the PNGEC, NCD  office, while this vulnerable, gold-seeking female took solace in his promises of all promises for a climb up the ladder of  PNGEC . And all she needs to do is be by the boss's side, make him look good in public and of course, the activities that take place between a couple behind closed doors. Sure enough after 2 weeks of roll updating, lo and behold, the new "Mrs or Mistress" becomes the provincial logistics officer. A temporary position needing disengagement after the elections then re-engagement if necessary , for a new election.  Then comes the capital city's ethnic Motukoita election 2

by MOSES KAPILI Authorities in PNG and  Enga and the Apostolic Churches of PNG should look closely at ROBIN ISAAC, who is the founder of Kanamanda Community Fellowship in Pogera, Enga Province. By now it is very clear that the organisation he runs and heavily promoted on Social Media promotes sexual acts between adults and teenagers, underage marriage, polygamy between adult men and teenage girls, he also heavily promotes Homosexuality and perverts the Apostolic Churches of Papua New Guinea. He promotes himself as the Father of Faith and the seed of God's earthly Human Kingdom, he teaches that Abraham has more than one wife. God purposeful called him holy and his leadership legacy remains for all to come.  Standing on this teaching he promotes sex between his followers. From his followers he choose 12 girls from the surrounding villages to be his wives. Almost all his followers are illiterates and by following his fake teaching of him being the seed of Abraham on thi
