The greatest money laundering Scheme in Health Department is now coming to surface as PAC continues to interrogate the Health Secretary Mr Pascoe Kase. BORNEO PACIFIC PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, started as a small pharmaceutical company in 2001 and after just 2 years, in 2013 without compliant to ISO 2001 standardized, the company was awarded huge contract worth Millions of kina from PNG Department of Health to procure and supply Pharmaceutical products to all Aid Post, Health centers and Public Hospitals across the country. BORNEO PACIFIC PHARMACEUTICALS LTD even though Failed to produce ISO 2001 Complaint documents, Was awarded a contract. How did they get that contract from PNG Health Department? As revealed by the Secretary of Health Department Mr Pascoe Kase today (30/10/0219) when asked by PAC, the Company was Nominated by PNG National Tenders Board through technical advice from the Department of Health Technical Advisory Team. Very Interestingly, Mr Pascoe stretched that his technica

by BEN MICAH Good evening my esteemed friends and people of Papua New Guinea. I wish to give my thoughts on the PAC/KPHL debate as well as offer my personal apologies to our people. Sir John pundari’s idea to summon KPHL to appear before the PAC is a noble idea in the name of transparency and accountability. The decision to conduct the hearing before the media and live television coverage is brilliant and unprecedented. It must be applauded. The government must formalise this to be the new standard of Public accountability. PM O’Niel was overthrown because of secrecy and coruption so the new Marape/Steven Government must embrace it. At first, I was wondering what it is our good PAC chairman was attempting to achieve? But now i understand that Sir John is attempting to expose some huge corruption scandal at KPHL and misappropriation of the PNGLNG proceeds. Thank God for Sir John. Even though Sir John Pundari is never known to be an anti corruption campaigner at all, I applaud his

by S.Y  PAIA ADELAIDE - I am a proud Papua New Guinean who will always stand very tall and speak boldly, loudly and clearly knowing that PNG is one of the best democracies. In this context I have some observations to make on the saga of the attempted arrest of former prime minister Peter Charles Paire O'Neill, another critical moment in the history of PNG’s political development. Unfortunately, we once again see heightened evidence of corruption and power manipulation at the expense of PNG’s potential to develop and to fully use its natural, human and social resources to become a prosperous country. According to available evidence, O’Neill had a calculated personal agenda when he entered the doors of PNG’s parliament in 2002 as the member for Ialibu Pangia in the Southern Highlands Province. O’Neill was soon entrusted with the portfolio of labour and industrial relations by the government of Sir Michael Somare. But the new man had other ideas and was transf

by ROB AGEN The interview with former PM Peter O’Neill last night (Wed 16/October) at Boroko Police Station wasn't about fighting corruption. It wasn't about doing what is right? Peter O’Neill was saved from spending a night in jail by a very smart lawyer. The whole thing wasn't planned properly. I also hear the Fraud Squad were not even aware of it when the announcement was made in social media that the former PM should turn himself in for an interview with the Police. The noise (just hot air) was created to impress PMJM and the new cabinet so that Manning is appointed as the new PC on a permanent basis. Former PM PO was a sheep brought to the slaughter House for the killing last night but fortunate for him his new Lawyer was very smart. These things have to be planned, coordinated and executed properly. You are trying to arrest the former Prime Minister of our country for corruption, for goodness sakes, do it properly Former PM PO now also k

by CHARLIE CLYDE TIKARO Former PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill made an interesting, yet a hilarious comment in reference to his recent warrant of arrest issued by Waigani District Court last Friday. It appears that 99% of the comment contradicted his own heedless actions when he was in the chair of the Prime Minister. He only makes travesty of himself like what comedians does. An important verse in O’Neill’s comment to note: “I will make myself available at any time to hear this complaint, but I warn any member of the RPNGC who might be part of the Police Minister’s political unit, to think carefully and respect and honour the oath you swore to our nation. This is a time for our hard-working men and women in our disciplined services to remember that you are independent of politics and should not be part of this Kramer corruption and the misuse of out proud police force.” (Unquoted) Public opinion is - when was the last time O’Neill made himself available for police questioning when

Hard evidence of huge amount of money deposited into Chief Justice Gibss Salika's wife's bank account has been obtained . This matter is now before appropriate authorities to further question and investigate Lady Salika. She will have to explain how and where she got huge amount of money deposited into her account. It's too early now to assume or relate the amount of money deposited into Lady Salika's bank account has any connections to CJ Salika's ruling of some of the high profile criminal and election petition cases recently .  Stay tuned Papua New Guinea, our only hope, the last defence of democracy - the people's judiciary - is being attacked at all fronts !

by Supreme Court Insider 1. The Appellants applying for grant of leave by the Supreme court were on three matters: First application was for some  time to be given to be given to appeal against the Ruling on the Competency decision. The second was to have time granted to appeal against the ruling on the No case Submission that had been filed by both the Respondents( EC & Alfred Manase). Thirdly, the appellants were seeking leave to appeal against the trial decision for Recount. 2. All these applications when brought to the attention of His Honour, Justice Batari sitting as a Single Judge in Supreme  Court , He dismissed the applicants for very good lawful  reasons. He dismisses all three applicarions and did direct that such applications could only be made after the National  Court handed down it's FINAL decision after the Recout Order had been executed. 3.
