Very serious allegations are being made in relation to the shooting of a person at Fusion Restaurant on Friday March 14. These include allegations of a cover-up by police and politicians, and interfering with witnesses to the shooting. In the interest of transparency and accountability, and public confidence in the administration of justice, PNG Blogs poses the following questions to the RPNGC: Is the person implicated in the shooting Mr Lohia Boe Samuel, the Member for Moresby North-West? Why is Mr Boe Samuel’s name being withheld from publication? On whose orders is it being withheld? Did Mr Boe Samuel leave the scene of the shooting, and was he ordered back by police? Was Mr Boe Samuel arrested in relation to the shooting? At what time and where? Who arrested him? Who ordered that he be released? Was it the Police Commissioner? On whose instructions? Why was he ordered to be released? Is there any record of his arrest? Are police investigating allegations of bribery and intimidat

by MELL LAKA I would like to shed some light with you on the proposed Bills that are being pushed by the government to be passed in parliament, namely the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC) 2014. First of all it must be understood that any alteration to the Constitution must be passed by an absolute majority vote in parliament as per section 14 of the Constitution which means that the government needs the opposition's number. The introduction of the Bill (ICAC) was introduced 2014 where we saw a number of politicians and high profile individuals being investigated and prosecuted by several bodies that were not subjected to the directions of the NEC or for that matter. The purpose of the bill before parliament is to alter the Constitution by inserting a new Division under Part VIII of the constitution and that is Division 3. The purpose of Division 3 is to give effect or establish a Commission called the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The main fun

PNGBLOGS CONTRIBUTORS NETWORK PETER O'NEILL personally intervened in the Election process yesterday in PANGIA after he called Police Commissioner GARY BAKI to personally remove a Mobile Police unit from Wabag. MS11 Unit from Wabag were stationed in Southern Highlands and in the Prime Minister's electorate of Ialibu Pangia for the election and were tasked in looking after ballot boxes for Pangia. Members of Wabag's MS 11 had a confrontation with one of the Prime Minister's personal bodyguards after one of the polling officials for one of the LLGs in Pangia collaborated with the Prime Minister's bodyguards to remove scrutineers who were not supporting the Prime Minister. The voters and scrutineers went on to report the matter to  MS Unit, when the MS 11 unit intervened the polling officials threatened one of the Policeman from the Engan unit by saying that they were not required because this was the PM's seat and their job was required elsewhere.

by DANIEL KUMBON IN September 1991, while visiting the United States, I refused to meet Pastor Peter Halliman in Cleveland, Ohio, after a damaging article appeared in a major American newspaper.He was with Ekere Embago, an illiterate pastor from Koroba in the Southern Highlands, and they were speaking to church congregations from the east to the west coasts appealing for funds to do more missionary work in the jungles of Papua New Guinea which, they claimed, were still inhabited by missionary eating cannibal tribes. They appeared to be very successful in using the media, calling press conferences in major cities and towns to draw attention to their cause. Many years on, I wonder if Halliman was a soldier or a pastor. Or if he left missionary work to establish the Lawrence Aviation and Security Group, the employer of the six mercenaries who over the last few days have caused so much consternation in Port Moresby. According to Papua New Guinea’s police commissioner Gari Baki,

by BRYAN KRAMER In the last three days I received numerous messages asking if I knew anything about the foreign nationals heavily armed and walking the streets of Port Moresby. My response was no and that I would have to look into it. Yesterday the Commissioner of Police Gary Baki issued a press statement on the same issue triggering me to take some timeout to make my own inquires into the matter. Baki stated that "Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary is currently engaged in discussions with an American based security company, Laurence Aviation & Security Group, to train an elite rapid response team for APEC 2018 and for ongoing policing into the future." He explained that the company staffed by former American military and police personnel offers high-end security solutions to its customers globally including the United States Government. “I was approached by the president of the company, Mr Peter Halliman around July last year. He was offering his company’s

by MICHAEL PASSINGAN PNG Blogs has received well founded rumours that Peter O'Neill's favored sniffer dogs such as Gari Baki, and his hit team headed by half-blinded and porn-star Jacob Ivaroa are still on the look out for anything to charge the lawyers representing Matthew Damaru and the Fraud Squad Officers in this ongoing saga. Peter O'Neill's and his corrupt regime's fate hangs in the balance as the Courts and the public are closing in on him. These policemen had been conditioned by O'Neill and Lupari to find anything and everything against Damaru and the Fraud Squad team and the Lawyers representing them. There had been numerous countless occasions witnessed by the Country of such vindictive witch hunting. Peter O'Neill and his henchmen are again at it. They are sniffing around to find anything and everything to stop this process from moving. The Country is fed up with these erratic behavior. PNG is now protesting the leadership of P'

by KEALI POKA Papua New Guineans are genuinely informed that contempt charges regarding non-compliance of the National and Supreme Court Orders were served on Police Commissioner Gari Baki and he refused to accept it.  However, Mathew Damaru had it successfully served on Mr. Baki's lawyer. Baki's other rogue officers in the likes of David Manning, Samson Kua and Jim Andrews have had their Court Orders served already on them. These rogue police officers will have their field day at the courts and justice will decide where they stand and what they should do and should not do. Meanwhile both Mr. Raphael Huafolo (the buffalo) and Mr. Victor Isove are on the run hiding away from Fraud Squad Officers of being served their contempt charges. Both of these rogue police officers will be served their contempt charges when they are found. Any Papua New Guinean who sights them must report them at the nearest police station or go on social media and post their whereabouts so Fraud Offi

by LEKEM LAKI Papua New Guinea gained independence from the neo-colonial Australian administration in September 16, 1975. Since then, we have had seven Prime Ministers in the likes of Sir Michael Somare, Sir Julius Chan, Sir Rabbi Namaliu, Paias Wingti, Late Bill Skate, Sir Mekere Morauta and the controversial incumbent Peter O’Neil. Under the leadership of previous Prime Ministers, country enjoyed tranquility with transition of changeover of leadership (PM) through political manoeuvre but peacefully and done and dusted in the spirit of the constitution. Never had one time experienced a political coup except the incumbent wrestled and forcefully taken over a legitimate government that of Michael Somare. It is telling the tenacity of the aggression to grip on to power by becoming untouchable by laws of the land. He has written a new chapter in the brief political history of PNG and is typical of a thief and remember this, a thief comes to steal, destroy and kill. Never had one

by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN The recent and continuing actions by Police Commissioner Gari Baki have got deeper intentions than what appears to the public. Gari Baki is part of, and executing a conspiracy to completely set Peter O’Neill free from all corruption charges relating to the Paul Paraka Lawyers payments, LR Group-PNG Power Generators Deal, K3 Billion UBS Oil Search Deal etc and many other complaints of frauds that is currently investigated by the National Fraud And Anti-Corruption Directorate. If you have been watching closely, Peter O’Neill is running out of defences. He knows that you don’t have to benefit financially from the fraud to be guilty of the crime (Paul Tiensten being the example). He latest lowest point was when he said words “mi paulim meri blong ol na ol laik karabusim mi oh”, a reflection of a primitive mentality of Wiru Pangia. Peter O’Neill’s popularity is evaporating very fast. Prominent citizens including the two former Prime Ministers, Sir Mekere

RPNGC INSIDER Some new information from three journos on Jacob Ivaroa, the personal pig-dog of Jimmy Maladina and Peter O’Neill. Two have confirmed that Ivaroa, now deputy director of the Fraud Squad, was responsible for the threat to a senior journalist last week, as revealed by a senior EMTV journo. Now a third journo has come forward to PNGBlogs to say that they were also a victim of a threat from Ivaroa last week. Ivaroa is one of the puppet policemen appointed by Commissioner Gary Baki to stop the investigations being carried out by the Fraud Squad and destroy evidence that incriminates the Prime Minister and his cronies. The journo also revealed to PNGBlogs that Manning was one of the police puppets used by O’Neill to try to arrest Chief Justice Salamo Injia, and was probably part of Baki’s plot to get rid of Port Moresby Met Supt Andy Bawa. Baki is also personally corrupt, when he stole funds to be used for LNG operations, and deceived the Somare NEC about its LNG

by RPNGC INSIDER Jacob Ivaroa, appointed by Police Commissioner Gary Baki as the acting deputy director of the National Fraud Squad and Anti-Corruption Directorate, has a long history of corruption and violence. Most of his service in the RPNGC is as a paid rogue cop for Peter O’Neill and Jimmy Maladina. Ivaroa is one of O’Neill’s leading thugs, a standover man not afraid to use guns and fists for Masta Peter and Masta Jimmy. He is best remembered for his body-snatching of former NPF CEO Rod Mitchell, at gunpoint. Mitchell was investigating the corruption at NPF by Jimmy Maladina and Peter O’Neill, who robbed the people’s superannuation fund of millions of kina. O’Neill and maladina called Ivaroa in and ordered him to get Mitchell at any cost and lay charges against him Although Ivaroa succeeded in capturing Mitchell, his fake charges were thrown out off court and Mitchell was set free. Ivaroa and Assistant Commissioner David Manning (corrupt son of late corruption fighter Mike Ma

by JOHN STEWARD In a remarkable turn of events, and right under the watchful eyes of all thinking Papua New Guineans, the Police Commissioner eliminates almost all potential risks at the National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate, by suspending the Director Matthew Damaru, his Deputy Timothy Gitua, another senior office Joel Simitab and other officers who may have been seen solidly supporting their bosses to pursue the arrest of Prime Minister O’Neill in relation to Paul Paraka Lawyers fraudulent payments. Commissioner Baki, in a lengthy media statement attempts to justify his “weekend” actions but not many will be convinced in light of the chain of events leading up to Baki’s decisions. I have gone through the various events leading up to the actions of Baki and here is what I have compiled. (All these events are publicly reported in various media forums if you have been following), On the 5th of April 2016, the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed James Marape’s appeal to the S

by JOHN STEWARD At the very least, she unashamedly tried to paint that picture on the eve of her arrest. But what is really the case against Twivey? Off Course, Fraud Squad Officers cannot arrest a lawyer for “merely acting on her client’s instructions”. Was she in this case? You bet! Information available in the public domain reveal that when news broke out that a Warrant of Arrest was out for the arrest of Daire Vele, Tiffany wrote to Director of Fraud Squad and advised that her client (Vele) was out of the country and would be making himself available for question as soon as he returned. She deliberately diverted the attention of the Fraud Squad Officers to ensure that her client was not arrested whilst she worked on Court documents to set aside the warrant. My inquiries with well-placed sources reveal that Tiffany acted improperly and criminally when she filed an application to set aside a warrant of arrest issued by the District Court against Daire Vele, Secretary for Trea

by JAMES PEREYAP The name “Rogue Police” is synonymous with Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC), a stigma that other innocent and hardworking cops have to also live with. Today, civilians are more fearful of the police than criminals. Police ill-discipline is part of a bigger problem that had been neglected for a long time and grown to be inherent in the RPNGC. The consequences of it are manifesting. These inherent problems are now being sustained and exacerbated by the current O’Neill Government’s use of RPNGC as a political tool to suppress opposition. With the added ‘political will’ of the current government, the Police will use it as a ticket to go all-out and abuse their powers and commit more crimes. PNGBlogs published a number of stories concerning O’Neill’s interference with the police force including this one. http://www.pngblogs.com/2015/10/politically-corrupt-running-police-force.html But nothing could be more worrying than this one. In order to create blindly fol

BRYAN KRAMER BREAKS DOWN THE HISTORY BEHIND THE DECISION TO TERMINATE TWO SENIOR OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE ARREST OF PRIME MINISTER O'NIELL by BRYAN KRAMER   While many were jubilant and surprised by the news of National Court's ruling to stay (stop) Commissioner of Police Gary Baki's decision to terminate Assistant Commissioner of Police Thomas Eluh and Deputy Director of National Fraud & Anti-Corruption Directorate Timothy Gitua, for me the ruling was expected. The Judiciary operates under strict guidelines, rules, procedures and principles all based on several hundred years of precedent (previous court rulings). The judiciary is the branch of government which administers justice according to law. The two other branches are Parliament and the National Executive Council (NEC) made up of Government Ministers and chaired by Prime Minister , also referred to as the Executive Government or Cabinet. The role of Parliament is to make the laws, while N
