RAMU 2 BLOWBACK LUPARI AND DUMA ORDER CHINESE STYLE CENSORSHIP ON GOVERNMENT AGENCIES - GOVERNMENT SOURCE

PNGBLOGS

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE, LUPARI, THE CHINESE, OR WHO? IF PNGBLOGS GOES BLACK ON PNG COMPUTER SCREENS NEXT WEEK, WE WILL KNOW WHY - IT WILL BE THE RE-CREATION OF A PAUL PARAKA BANANA REPUBLIC STYLE THREAT THAT FINALLY WORKED:

In 2010, Paul Paraka, the number one corrupt lawyer in the country according to the Commission of Inquiry into Department of Finance fake payment scams, did something that even today goes down as one of the most banana republic kinds of reactions ever seen in PNG. Here's what happened. When the government Commission of Inquiry on massive theft totally hundreds of millions of kina submitted their report in Parliament, Paraka immediately obtained a court injunction to make it illegal for any Papua New Guinean to read or be in possession of the report and learn about the allegations against him and 18 other lawyers. Included amongst the accused is current Chief Minister Isaac Lupari, alleged to have stolen more than K2.7 million.
Paraka's strategy to keep the report implicating him in massive corruption worked for awhile. Then a PNG hero stole a copy of the report and got it into the hands of journalists in Australia. The report was duly uploaded on the internet and a number of internet sites either put the report on their own sites or entertained discussion about the report and its implications. Paraka was both furious and determined to use his renowned thug like reputation to intimidate and silence all talk against him. He thus instructed that his legal firm send out a threat letter to all PNG ISPs, demanding that they not only block internet sites from anyone inside of PNG from accessing, but also find someway to read through everyone's e-mails in PNG and block any e-mail that even mentioned the name Paul Paraka or others that were heavily implicated in the Dept. Finance scam.
Paraka's action was classic behavior that the rich and powerful use in the Banana Republics of the world, and it backfired against him badly. First, the silliness of the whole thing was reported by the overseas media, making all of PNG a laughingstock for even allowing people of the likes of Paraka to attain such high status. The PNG Internet Service Providers followed suit by ignoring the Banana Republic style threat. Because of the Paraka letter, many more Papua New Guineans came to learn of the Dept of Finance report and read who the alleged biggest thieves of Papua New Guinea were. But of course, the governments of the day, starting with the Somare government and now the O'Neill government, refused to action the report, and Paraka, Lupari, and all the rest have escaped prosecution as recommended by the report.
This week's allegations of Minister William Duma seeking a $10 million US dollar bribe and a prostitute turned mistress on the side, as well as the allegations of NCDC Governor Powes Parkop committing adultery on multiple occasions with multiple young women with his long time wife Jean Parkop leaving the Governor, has obviously hit a raw nerve somewhere. A high level mole has leaked a story that none other than Isaac Lupari is repeating the Banana Republic action that Paul Paraka failed at more than 6 years ago. In short, it is reported that Lupari is trying to pressure PNG ISPs to immediately block PNG Blogs from being accessible by anyone within PNG. Why so? There are only 2 possible stories that have come out on PNG Blogs that would be so upsetting to the government that they would lower themselves to such monkey business threats and we have already mentioned them: the Duma story or the Parkop story.
As silly as Powes Parkop can be sometimes, we doubt if he is such a monkey that he would demand that Lupari block all stories about his dalliances from PNG eyes. We reckon it is the story about Duma that's causing the frantic reactions. Why would this be. We reckon it is because of the massive, unnecessary amount of money that PNG can ill afford, that Duma will seek NEC's approval for, in exchange for the big bucks and the prostitute. The eager beaver company that wants the contract and might well pay the bribe and provide the girl is none other than SinoHydro, a Chinese government arm that wants to build the unnecessary Ramu 2 Hydro expansion at excessive cost that PNG can ill afford.
If too many people in PNG read this story, it obviously threatens Duma's $10 million and his new side girl, but more importantly, it threatens the giant SinoHydro from getting the contract. SinoHydro is a known bribe giver, according to reports from Africa, so none of this would be something surprising taking place in PNG.
We strongly believe that under Peter O'Neill, PNG is heading for a dictatorship after the 2017 elections (which we believe he will come out victorious, one way or the other). One clear sign of dictatorship is the suppression of information under the pretense that it is "false and defamatory". The most successful dictatorships in the world today use elegant little defenses like that to suppress information from getting to the citizens of the country. Will the PNG Internet Service Providers back down? They didn't when Paul Paraka threatened them. We also don't believe that there is anything under the Cybersecurity Act that would force them to block web sites.
Pray to our good Lord that the dictatorship will not prevail with this request to keep the citizens of PNG in the dark about a story that so curiously for a "false and defamatory" story has caused government leaders to jump up and down like baboons. Better yet, spread the story by e-mail to all your friends. E-mails on all of today's major free e-mail services have their content encrypted. This means that neither the PNG government nor the Internet Service Providers can see the content of your e-mails. It is one good way in which suppressed citizens in other countries get around their own dictatorships and make sure that dictatorial governments never succeed at keeping information hidden.

HIGHLANDS FRAUD F*CKS RUNNING GOVERNMENT AGENCY,,,

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.

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

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

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

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

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
