KAIN MINISTER WANTAIM MERI MAUS SAVE KUSAI TUMAS

During a parliamentary session on March 22, 2023, Hon. Steven Pim MP, the Member for Dei, presented four inquiries regarding the decision of the NAC Board to prolong the acting MD's appointment for an additional 3 months. He also questioned whether the board acted unlawfully, violating the recent modifications made to the Civil Aviation Act. In reaction, Civil Aviation Minister Walter Schnaubelt made deceitful statements to both Parliament and the public.

  1. The Civil Aviation Minister, Walter Schnaubelt, authorized a board meeting that took place and resulted in the appointment of Tupiri as Acting MD of NAC. This can be proven by the NAC Board Circular dated March 3, 2023, and the correspondence between the Board and the Minister. Therefore, his statement to Parliament that no decision had been made by the Board was false.

  2. The decision to reappoint Tupiri as Acting MD was widely confirmed and published on social media by the NAC Board. The Minister's statement to Parliament that no decision had been made is therefore untrue, as proven by the attached published articles.

  3. Minister Schnaubelt stated that only the NEC has the power to extend an acting appointment and that the Board can only make recommendations. However, he endorsed the Board's request to convene and appoint the Acting MD, which is in violation of the Civil Aviation Act. Tupiri was reappointed following this meeting, which contradicts the Minister's statement to Parliament and the nation.

  4. The Minister's endorsement of the illegal reappointment of Tupiri is a serious compromise of aviation safety. He misled Parliament and disrespected his office by stating that he had not yet made a decision on the matter. This suggests that the Minister is in collusion with the Acting MD and is willing to break the law for personal gain.

  5. There are concerns regarding Tupiri's FPP certification. The Minister stated in Parliament that he is FPP certified, but there are reports from insiders within the aviation industry that this is not the case. The reappointment of Tupiri as Acting MD would therefore be illegal under Section 147(4) of the Civil Aviation Act, which requires the Acting MD to be FPP certified for the NEC to extend their term for a further 3 months. It is crucial that this matter is verified.

  1. The conduct of Minister Schnaubelt is unbecoming of a national leader and undermines the dignity and integrity of his key Ministry. As a leader, he should uphold the rule of law and conduct himself with decorum. The act of lying on the floor of Parliament is unacceptable and deplorable, and it undermines the credibility of the Marape/Rosso Government and its leaders.

  2. The actions of Minister Schnaubelt have increased the risk in the aviation and transport sector by circumventing the legal and technical requirements for reappointing the Acting MD. These requirements are in place to ensure safety and security, and the appointment of an unqualified and unfit Acting MD compromises safety. Moreover, the appointment violates our treaty obligations with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

  3. The motive behind Minister Schnaubelt's actions raises concerns. By lying and bypassing NEC, he has effectively undermined the authority of the Chairman and the NEC members. His actions show a lack of respect for the NEC and PMJM, and he must be held accountable for his actions.

  4. The Minister's actions are unacceptable and warrant immediate dismissal. He has used his privileges in Parliament to mislead the nation and must be held accountable for his actions. Such behavior should not be tolerated from leaders who are accountable to the people and the nation.

  5. The Prime Minister must take decisive action to restore the integrity of his Cabinet and ensure that Ministers who disregard the floor of Parliament and NEC are held accountable. The Aviation and Transport sector is a critical sector, and the appointment of unfit and unqualified personnel can be fatal. Enough is enough, and it is time for the Prime Minister to act decisively.

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

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

James Marape's Missteps Openly Exposed at Australian Forum

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

Connect PNG Unveiled: A Tale of Ambition, Scandal, and the Quest for Accountability

Image
  By M.J Passingan In the heart of Papua New Guinea (PNG), a storm brews over the ambitious Connect PNG initiative, a program that ostensibly aims to revolutionize the nation's infrastructure landscape. What was launched with the promise of connecting remote communities and fostering economic growth has spiraled into a scandal of monumental proportions, exposing the underbelly of political maneuvering and alleged financial misconduct at the highest levels of government. The controversy came to light when a brave whistleblower leaked Department of Finance records, revealing a staggering K350 million payment to certain Connect PNG contractors on the same day as the Port Moresby riots. This revelation sent shockwaves through the nation, drawing sharp criticism from notable figures, including former Prime Minister Peter O’Neill. Known for his outspoken nature, O’Neill condemned the exploitation of a noble initiative for what he described as the largest and most sophisticated money laun
