CONSPIRACY OR COINCIDENCE?

NIUGINI OUTLOOK

FIRST, THE ONLY NON-PNC MP OF WESTERN PROVINCE WAS DEPOSED. POLYE IS NOW FIGHTING ELECTORAL FRAUD ALLEGATIONS. NAMAH IS FIGHTING A LEADERSHIP TRIBUNAL. NOW SOMARE'S REPUTATION IS BEING DESTROYED BEFORE THE EYES OF THE NATION. 

Meanwhile, Peter O'Neill is off the hook. So is Vagi. So is Pala. In fact, over the past few weeks, one case after another against Peter O'Neill and his cronies have been dismissed in court. Our PM is victorious! He and his cronies now are given the appearance of being squeaky clean, while there seems to be a systematic attempt to depose of each and every one of the PM's principal opponents and get rid of other non-PNC MPs before the election, focusing on what for all outward appearances, appear to be very real corruptions by Somare, Polye, O'Neill, etc etc.
Maybe it's all coincidence. Hmm?
Why did the Supreme Court so quickly manage to act on the Vote of No Confidence, showing what they are capable of doing, yet the equally important and nationally divisive UBS loan scandal went on and on and on, not being considered by the Supreme Court for how long now - certainly a year, but maybe even two years?
Maybe it was just a mistake. Hmmm?
Why are these cases against the PM and his cronies being dismissed on technicalities rather than any establishment of guilt or innocence based on evidence?
Maybe all the police and ombudsman investigators, as well as the Public Prosecutor are nothing less than totally incompetent. Maybe the PM doesn't need outrageously priced Queen's Counsel (paid for by we the taxpayers) after all.
On the other hand, maybe those who are gathering evidence against those who oppose Peter O'Neill are all competent. Or maybe they turn competent or become incompetent, depending on who is being investigated or prosecuted.
Or maybe we're just imaging things. Hmmmmmmmm?
We're probably also imagining that Sir Julius Chan, nasty as he was to Peter O'Neill in the time leading up to the Vote of No Confidence, and being as he is a member from New Ireland just like the similarly nasty and traitorous Ben Micah, should be looking behind his back at what bombshell corruption revelations might be heading his way. Michael Somare is getting killed and is legally running away from facing the music and telling the people of PNG the truth. Chan might be next. Then Micah. After all, neither of them have a reputation for honesty or ethics.
Our Prime Minister, throughs his media unit, was the first one to make sure that the Singapore Kickback Bombshell became known to the people of PNG. He must relish the fact that he has not only slapped the Grand Thief in the face, but kicked him in the mud to be thoroughly soiled until the end of time. His legacy will surely be destroyed because drip drip drip drip drip new revelations seem to be coming out daily. Surprise surprise. We are getting 'hot tips' of what next to look into and publicise.
No one can say that Niugini Outlook takes sides. When Peter O'Neill performs his alleged alleged ALLEGED ALLEGED ALLEGED ALLEGED ALLEGED sins and evil corrupt actions, we go after him. When arch rival Somare performs the same kinds of despicable public servant performances, we're exposing his alleged alleged alleged ALLEGED ALLEGED ALLEGED ALLEGED sins too.
The wonderful thing is that we never run out of material. PNG doesn't rank 139 out of 168 countries in horrible corruption for no reason. We only earn 25 points out of a possible 100 for clean, noncorrupt governance because corruption has grown to permeate every level of the PNG public service, and spills over into the private sector too. The corruption extends throughout the government bureaucracy, through the Government MPs, through the Opposition MPS, and karamapim a good number of our Prime Ministers. It's impossible for us to take sides when we're exposing corruption, the examples are everywhere.
One thing we at Niugini Outlook can thank Peter O'Neill for. During his 4 years in office, there has not been any improvement at all in PNG's ranking in the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index. That's because fighting corruption is not listed at all in the O'Neill government's priorities for while it is in office. Thanks to the government's inaction on corruption, we're sure to have more and more examples in the coming year that we can reveal.
In case any one wanting to defend our Prime Minister wants to use the new ICAC as an example of the PM's commitment, not so fast. Easily, easily, easily Peter O'Neill can ensure that the new ICAC is as financially strangled as he has ensured for the Ombudsman, Public Prosecutor, Auditor General, and Police Fraud investigation units. No money? No work! No work? No progress against corruption.
Maybe that's the way Peter O'Neill wants it. Hmmmmmmmmm?

HIGHLANDS FRAUD F*CKS RUNNING GOVERNMENT AGENCY,,,

Image
A Fraudster and unqualified person has been shortlisted for NEC submission for the position of CEPA Managing Director. The candidate in question is Jude Tukulyia. His academic credentials are subject to scrutiny. Further investigation is required to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of his qualifications, particularly the reported diploma in accounting, Bachelor of Laws, MBA from Divine Word and UPNG respectively. It is very suspicious and unprofessional  when the Minister for Environment Conservation and Climate Change, Hon Simo Kilepa, wrote to UPNG Vice Chancellor asking to confirm Jude’s questioned education qualifications. This very due diligence work is the core responsibility of the Public Service Commission and Department of Personnel Management. What authority does the portfolio minister have to write to the Universities? Dumbfounding indeed if one asks. Ulterior motives written all over the letter. This amounts to  Questionable Academic Qualifications of Mr Tukulyia.

MARAPE & PAITA ABOUT TO SIGN AWAY PNG GOLD

Image
By: Andrew Arthur Prime Minister Hon. James Marape and his planning minister Reinbo Paita are the parties behind the theft of all Papua New Guinea’s gold for the next 100 years! They have given approval for the STATE of Papua New Guinea to sign away all gold rights to an Australian paper company in Refinery Holdings PTE LTD. First, they have done the deal with a paper company even before there is a LAW that says they have the right to do the deal. We see how the real manipulation works out. Marape and Paita now need to get the law passed by Parliament. The law is before the Parliament to set up Papua New Guinea’s first National Gold Corporation. The National Gold Corporation Bill first surfaced in 2012 but successive Government of Sir Michael Somare and Hon. Peter O’Neill, in their wisdom, had refused to pass this Bill as there have been some sinister motives and constitutional issues associated with the Bill. The new bill will allow Refinery Holdings LTD PTE to own 70% of the National

AUGUSTINE MANO PNG'S PREMIER CORPORATE CROOK

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN In a significant setback for Mineral Resources Development Corporation (MRDC), the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has dismissed the company's appeal to stop criminal investigations into its dealings with landowner funds held in the Pacific Balance Fund (PBF). The court ruled that MRDC's appeal was an "abuse of process" and ordered the company to pay costs of the proceedings. MRDC, a unit holder in PBF, had taken legal action against the National Court's decision to dismiss its case, arguing that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter. However, the Supreme Court disagreed and held that MRDC's appeal was nothing more than an attempt to interfere with the police's criminal investigative process. The court found that MRDC had no authority to conducted its own investigation into the activities of the Melanesian Trustee Services Limited (MTSL), the fund manager of PBF, and that its actions were in violation of the Trust Deed

PNG, VERY RICH YET STILL A VERY VERY POOR COUNTRY

Image
by GARY MONDULAME Papua New Guinea (PNG), a nation blessed with abundant natural resources, continues to grapple with economic challenges that belie its potential wealth. The nation's economic narrative is a paradox—rich in resources yet burdened by poverty. The explanation for this paradox lies not only in economic mismanagement but also in deep-seated corruption that has permeated the political landscape since independence in 1975. Following its independence from Australia, PNG was entrusted to leaders who lacked a vision for a holistic national development. This absence of foresight is evident from the lack of long-term development plans that could have distributed the country’s wealth fairly across all regions and communities. Successive governments failed to establish foundational strategies such as building satellite townships or creating robust rural housing schemes. Instead, they resorted to short-term, reactive measures that did not foster sustainable growth. The nascent l

James Marape's Missteps Openly Exposed at Australian Forum

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN  In a recent event that highlighted the complexities of international diplomacy and governance, Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister, James Marape, faced a challenging situation during his appearance at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia. The Lowy Institute, known for its role as an independent think tank focusing on international policy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, provided a platform for a candid assessment of Marape's governance. Following his formal address, Marape engaged in a dialogue with Dr. Michael Fullilove AM, the Executive Director of the Institute. Dr. Fullilove, a respected figure in public and international policy, scrutinized Marape's past promises and statements, contrasting them with the current state of affairs in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The discussion took a critical turn as Dr. Fullilove revisited Marape's 2019 speech at the same venue, where Marape had outlined his vision for PNG in a speech titled “A New Boo

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND, WHY THE PNG ECONOMY STILL SUCKS

Image
Elizabeth Genia, Acting Governor Bank of PNG (BPNG) by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN The economy of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is at a crucial juncture. Despite some signs of recovery, the country faces several structural challenges that continue to impede its economic progress. The March 2024 Monetary Policy Statement from the Bank of Papua New Guinea sheds light on these issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the economic landscape and the policy responses being implemented to navigate through these turbulent times. In 2023, PNG's economy grew by a modest 1.4%, a significant slowdown from the 5.2% growth witnessed in 2022. This tepid growth is largely attributed to delays in major projects and ongoing economic issues that have not been fully resolved. The anticipated growth for 2024 is around 3.0%, buoyed by the resumption of production at the Porgera gold mine. While this marks an improvement, it remains subdued compared to the potential of this resource-rich nation. One of the mo

A Call for Local Ownership and Fairness

Image
by JUSTIN PARKER In recent discussions surrounding the establishment of a gold refinery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), concerns have been raised regarding various aspects of the proposed project. Spearheaded by foreign investors, the initiative has sparked debates over ownership, exclusivity, tax concessions, underwriting, management rights, control over currency, legal protections, and historical failures. These concerns, if unaddressed, could potentially undermine the interests of PNG and its people, particularly the hardworking alluvial miners who form the backbone of the nation's mining sector. At the heart of the issue lies the question of ownership. The proposed ownership structure, favoring foreign investors with a substantial 70% stake, raises eyebrows, especially considering PNG's past experiences with failed ventures like seabed mining. Instead of ceding majority control to foreign entities, many argue that PNG should assert full ownership over the refinery. With the coun
