 AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE By Paul Amatio Friday 22nd January 2021 shall go down in history as the day a serial liar was revealed. The Maestro of Lies, Deceit, and Trickery and the unequaled King of the Kings of Con. The One and Only Great Scientist in Parliament, the not so Honorable Bryan Kramer (MP)! Let’s hear three cheers. Hip hip… Hooray!!! Hip hip…Hooray!!! Hip hip…Hooray!!! Finally his true colors are revealed showing the lying, conniving hypocrite that he really is! The National Court of PNG ruled in a Judicial Review that the appointment of David Manning as Police Commissioner was illegal despite all that this lying Scientist has said including threatening to have me arrested for standing for the Rule of Law. The law prevailed and Kramer lied. I expected a reaction from Scientist but not this display of the extreme levels he is willing to go to subvert the rule of law is shocking. He has publicly stated on Facebook that he will change the rules, laws, processes and pro

  by PAUL AMATIO The attempts at justification of an act of nepotism, corruption and self-interest are not only shallow but also an attempt at making fools of our professional Papua New Guineans. We are far from being “genuinely ignorant of the issues or just plain stupid”. It is thinly disguised racism and undermines the serious efforts at upgrading public service standards and qualifications in this country. The Public Service (Management) Minimum Person Specification and Competence Act 2003 & Regulations for Selection & Appointment of Departmental Heads and Provincial Administrators applies to persons applying for a position of Departmental Head. Is the police commissioner a departmental head? Of course he is because he is also the Secretary for the Department of Police. The assertion regarding previous COP appointments is wrong on two counts. (1) The specific adverts did not mention education qualifications and (2) nobody tested it in court. The same cannot be said about no

Dear Hon. Bryan Kramer Should the native Papua New Guineans call you rather 'amusing'? Everyone is unique and not even two identical twins hold the same opinion. Your bulldozing of the appointment of Manning has been nullified by the competent court. Native Papua New Guineans have the right to their opinions and the constitution allows them to air them freely. What qualifies you to call them 'plain stupid' and 'ignorant'. What do you think you are? Mr Know It All? You have successfully mind-controlled native Papua New Guineans with your corruption fight. Your real breakthrough came when you exposed the salary of MPs. You created a cult following. Well, Mr Enlightened one. Let me frankly tell you that you're FAKE. WHY? You said you will shake the tree of corruption but you didn't vote for the PMJM. You told O'Neil that "My Facebook career will end your political career", when will that happen, PNG is still waiting. When we demanded action to

by MEL TIKI During the political horse-trading at Laguna in April 2019 controversial William Duma, as cunning as he is, convinced PM-elect Marape to appoint him Minister for Trade & Industry. He then demanded that NDB and MVIL be placed under his ministry.  Marape obliged and a ministerial determination was made to effect that change. Duma is notorious for appointing cronies to positions of responsibility in State entities and then manipulating them for his own selfish gains. Following his appointment Duma quickly moved to simultaneously appoint his tribesmen Michael Makap as CEO for MVIL and his first cousin Michael Mell has NDB Chairman. Both appointments were clear cases of cronyism and many people were appalled by the decisions. Mell, in particular, did not possess the necessary boardroom and banking and financial sector qualifications and experience to be elevated to such an important role.  He has never managed a large, complex or successful organisation in his life. The Mara

By Waigani Observor The Marape government remains popular amongst many Papua New Guineans. But does the government deserve this reputation?  Many point to actions such as refusal to renew Barrick's license as well going tough on gas negotiations as evidence of the Take Back PNG agenda. Let's take a look at the Marape government's actions and/or inactions that totally contradict their Take Back PNG slogan. Firstly, we've seen from the recent Supreme Court ruling that this government has not been shy to thrash the Constitution. The case allowed woke Papua New Guineans to see the trickers of the matrix reveal their cards as they failed terribly to justify their illegal actions. And that has been the theme of this government of charismatic double-tongued tricksters. Kramer and Marape, despite all the ground worshipping by their headless fans as anti-corruption agents, have not sent one corrupt person to prison. Kramer apologists will probably come up with reasonable soundin

by ANDREW MOUTU This young boy grew up in the village. At the right age, he was enrolled at the small primary school in his home village, Kukipi. However, there were no blackboards or chalk made available to the school. There were no desks for the children to sit on. This caused the school and the village to become a bit innovative, to work within the limits of constraints. This Toaripi speaking village is on the coast and is located not far from the beach where there was as an abundance of sand that sometimes become exposed to occasional rushes of the wind through the village. Makeshift classrooms were built and students attended their lessons in these temporary structures. Each day the students return to their classrooms and sit on the sand and write their lessons and assignments with their fingers in the sand. He recalls using mats and plant leaves to cover and hide his answers on the sand until the teacher comes along to read and assess his answers before he wipes them clean and st

by MILES GARET PUBLIC CALL FOR INVESTIGATION INTO K117 MILLION 9 MILE TO 14 MILE NCD ROAD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO MOBILE WORKS LIMITED The public demand an investigation into the award of a massive K117 million questionable contract to a K2 inexperienced company called  Mobile Works Limited for the construction of 9 mile to 14 mile road in NCD. This project was launched on Friday by the owner of the K2 company Mr David Raim from Western Highlands Province. Mr. Raim is also the owner of Island Mobile Hire Cars who is known for offering kickbacks to politicians and officials to get hire car contracts in PNG. The award of this contract is highly questionable and suspicious given the following facts: 1. The K117 million value of the contract is highly-priced for the distance from 9 mile to 14 mile. We demand an independent assessment to substantiate the pricing regime adopted in the tender price bid and evaluation outcome. 2. Mobile Works Limited lacks the necessary technical experience a

By Political Observer The move to choose Patrick Pruaitch by Crowne is an absolute masterclass for any keen student or observer of politics. The most vocal MPs in Loloata were the NA MPs. Since Pruaitch nomination, they have been quiet this past 24 hours. Not a post from Governor Bird who usually speaks his mind freely on social media. Crowne has silenced and confused one of Loloata's strongest Coalition partners. Now they are wondering whether the Pruaitch nomination is genuine or not. They are in two minds, because they will not trust the main players behind Crowne and are familiar with their tendencies to swing things at the death. They know all to well from last year how everything can change in a matter of hours. However, they cannot ignore the fact that their leader is on the other side and has been nominated for PM. He will seek their loyalty and numbers now. In fact that will be one of the conditions of Crowne when they gave him the nominee - to bring his numbers across. It
