by  TIM KITORO The White 5 door MAH 121 and Blue 5 door LBV 624 are both on full-time Hire by NAC since Sept 2019 to current from 2 Mini Hire Cars owed by Dickson Lama. The white one is used by Acting Managing Director Ephraim Wasam and Blue one is used by GM Finance Mr Maris Taolam. They are cousin brothers. Both of these two vehicles are hired at a rate of K1000 per day. For a month, Mr Lama receives K31,000 x 2 = K62,000, and for 11 months (Sept 2019 - July 2020) is equivalent to K682,000. There are also other vehicles on Hire by NAC from 2 Mini Hire Cars at lesser rates. Recently, both of these two vehicles were personalized by Ephraim and Maris whilst they are still on full-time Hire by NAC. Issue 1. Is K1000 per day Hire rate for ordinary 5 door vehicle is justified? Issue 2. Is personalization of Hire vehicles allowed by the company owner? Issue 3. Is the hiring of vehicles at an exorbitant cost to NAC is its core business? Issue 4. Is it allowed when the Acting Managing Directo

by HARINI MATABI ALUMALE PNGeans, we seem to FORGET things very easily and blow with the wind of PROPAGANDA to believe falsified make-believe social media posts, controlled mainstream media headlines (controlled by conglomerate Foreign companies & Former regime), and gossips on the streets. Those of you praising your Master on Media and Facebook forums must read this carefully and this are few but I will post in details from time to time . Peter O’Neill|KING wiru Mari | Leadership 1. The K37 billion loan (dinau) incurred by former Prime Minister Peter O'Neill that you and me and our children will have to 'repay' in the years to come. 2. The inflated contracts in billions of Kina by Peter O'Neill that was swept under the carpet in the name of "Infrastructure". The 10% cuts and excessive overpriced costs for all infrastructures are something that PNGeans must know. For example, the back road from 9mile to Gerehu/Baruni costed almost to a billion Kina when it

by ROB AGEN ▪️Powes Pakop used former Prime Minister Peter O'Neill in 2015/16 (prior to the 2017 NGE) for the ground breaking ceremony of 8 Mile Settlement to Suburb Upgrade. To-date nothing has materialised at 8 mile! Ask the settlers at 8 mile! Absolutely nothing has taken place on the ground since that ground breaking ceremony at 8 mile! ▪️Instead of converting 8 Mile Settlement into a suburb as promised prior to the 2017 elections, Pakop as the Chairman of the NCDC Planning Board APPROVED development plans from Malaysians and Chinese business owners who have now moved into the front of Block 1 / Zone 1 of 8 Mile Settlement, and as a consequence Settlers were forcefully evicted to make way for these Asian business syndicates. What hypocracy is this for the former Human Rights Lawyer to allow this to happen to the Settlers? Don't they have basic human rights? Pakop tricked and fooled the 8 Mile Settlers for their votes in the 2017 national general elections! He uses people ve

The first arrest followed from a November 2014 complaint against Mr Alu lodged

by DIANA KADABI I wanted to write the piece below for a long time but could, however, I have found this opening to do so now: - A friend who we have been fighting corruption these past years decided to unfriend me because I made a comment on a Post about Jerry Augus being paid millions to his hire car company. After reading my comment he asked me to delete the comment stating that he had evidence to post and share this post, but I refuse and said that let it be as my comment was NOT against what he posted but, a suggestion for posting evidence as well so we can appreciate the allegations are true. This prompted my account being unfriended. I don’t care about being unfriended on Facebook but TRUTH STICKS OUT. The allegations maybe somewhat true to the fact that the CEO of Tourism Promotion Authority using his position is authority and at the same time he being a person from the same District from who the Prime Minister is from, he might have benefited from funds earmarked for the Earth

by  Kafu Peg For an Highlander who cannot aggressively drive changes in this country is nothing more than a fake or weak person. Perhaps it's the cultural thing to be lenient on wantoks, tribesmen or cronies. Compared to Peter O'Neill (although O'Neill is worst corrupt) PMJM cannot shake the system hard enough to ensure PNGs expectations of changes are effected within the entire government systems. "TAKE BACK PNG" is just a sweet sugar flowery words from a deceptive orator who has weak drive. Adolf Hitler was a deceptive orator but he had a heart of steel to achieve Dictatorship in Germany so if PMJM wants to take back PNG then the heart to action must follow your flowery oration. Yes we heard you uttered these words: Take back PNG Equal opportunities for all No Child left behind PNG food bowl of the Pacific Level playing fields Fight Corruption Porgera workers- hang in there for short term pain, long term gain So what effective changes Happened? Nothing really, e

by ARIN ALUMALE O'Neill was referred to as a controversial Prime Minister when he was returned in 2017. There are laudatory comments on his tenure of office, but overall it has been mired in criticism because of governance issues. These issues predate his appointment as Prime Minister. His supporters point to his success in business before entering politics as qualification for leadership. Opponents argue that his business success is permeated with influence in government and that his directorships in government enterprises prior to his success in politics are significant. The commission of inquiry in the National Provident Fund of 2003 recommended to prosecute O’Neill for extorting money in return for revaluing a contract to build a high-rise. A rise in the contract price was given because of rising costs as a consequence of currency devaluation and O’Neill was said to obtain a cut from this increase. O’Neill appeared for a committal court in 2005 but the charges were dropped due

by SHERDRICK JOHNS Justin TKatchenko (JT) lied again in his media statement reported in the National Newspaper on the 21 of June 2020. He mentioned he had never seen the NEC submission until he arrived at the meeting which was held on the 18 of June. That was an absolute lie. Minister for Housing was well aware of the shortlisted candidates before preparation of NEC submission and he knew the Acting MD was not on the shortlist. Let me prove his lies again; A copy of the letter on the shortlisted candidates addressed to the Minister for Public Service by the Chairman of the Public Service Commission was delivered to the Prime Minster, Minister Justin TKatchenko, Acting Chief Secretary, Secretary –National Executive Council Secretariat and Secretary –Department of Personnel Management on the 26 of May 2020. On the same day, the Minister called the Acting MD Elizabeth Bowada over to Lamana Hotel and informed her that she was not on the short list. He then assigned his First Secretary to t
