  Opposition Leader Douglas Tomuriesa said he is disappointed and embarrassed over the way His Holiness Pope Francis was treated by Prime Minister James Marape over the last three-days during the Papal visit, and the lack of courtesy and respect shown by the Prime Minister. He said the Prime Minister continuously declares PNG as a ‘Christian country’ and prides himself on being a religious individual but he was surprised when the Pope was continuously snubbed by the PM over the weekend since the Pope’s arrival on Friday. “The Pope is the head of the Catholic church, the largest Christian church in the world and he is also a head of state. “PNG not only being a Christian country, but a country that prides itself as a ‘friend to all, enemy to none’, the PM should be according the Pope with the highest level of respect,” Tomuriesa said. The Opposition Leader pointed out that on Friday, the Prime Minister did not welcome the Pope at the airport, a tradition he had accorded to many other wo

PO: I think James Marape is blind and desperate

  I think James Marape is blind and desperate. He and Pangu have no policies going into this election and has therefor nothing to debate. It makes me think about his infamous and now embarrassing, Marape Manifesto where his hollow words still ring out. He is simply lost and incompetent so now looking for things to say. I thank James Marape for the opportunity to talk about what PNC Government delivered for Lae If he wants to know what PNC Government has done in Lae, he should be ashamed driving on the roads and landing on the runway we built. He should be ashamed of flying his Pangu flags on power poles that we built. We PNC Government have transformed Lae pothole city into a cement road city using our local know how to ensure we built roads that can withstand the heavy rainfall in the city. We have built a world class Port providing much needed shipping services so that Lae can take up its rightful place as the industrial capital of PNG. We approved and started building the 4-lane hig

PM SAYS HE WILL RESIGN IF PANGI PATI DID NOT FORM GOV.

-
Image
Prime Minister and Tari-Pori MP James Marape made a bold statement in Hela Province yesterday (Thursday) that he would resign as their MP if his ruling Pangu Pati did not form the Government after the 2022 elections. His statement before thousands of people in Tari after he was nominated shows his confidence in retaining the Open Seat. He thanked his people for their undivided support for him over the last 15 years in Parliament. Mr Marape says he wants Pangu Pati to have the numbers for the Governor-General to invite them to form the Government. He says he has already told the Pangu caucus that if they do not get the invitation to form Government, he will resign as party leader, and as Tari-Pori MP. Mr Marape says Tari-Pori has transformed over the last three years with a new airport runway and terminal, the Hulukumaiya Haus, National Development Bank and many other developments because all levels of government worked together under his leadership. The Prime Minister, after nominating

MARAPE: INCORRECT WORDING ON WARRANT

 MARAPE: INCORRECT WORDING ON WARRANT Post Courier  24th July 2024  PRIME Minister James Marape has assured the Gulf people that no funds meant for them including the Papua LNG project, have been diverted elsewhere. And Treasurer Ian Ling Stuckey on Friday also announced that Gulf funds were intact and the earlier warrants were withdrawn and that the issue has been rectified due to an incorrect wording. But yesterday an irate Gulf Governor Sir Chris Haiveta said his position still stands – that he will file the court proceedings today and allow the courts to correct the system and get to the bottom of this. This is over the K60 million IDG and Business Development Grants of which K20 million is supposedly for Gulf Province that Sir Chris is now taking to court. Marape said the Pangu-led government is committed to allocating development funds to all resource areas, including Ramu and Lihir, and will uphold fairness in all resource projects. This comes after an incorrect wording on a war

 PRESS STATEMENT Tuesday 11 June 2024 For Immediate Release – Finschhafen MP and Alternative Prime Minister nominee Hon. Rainbo Paita has expressed his disappointment in Prime Minister James Marape over what he described as “blatant misstatements” and a “poor choice of words” by Mr Marape in reference to the recent PANGU Pati caucus meeting. In response to Mr Marape’s media statement on Sunday June 9, 2024, Mr Paita corrected the Prime Minister on several misleading points expressed in the statement, and again defended the decision of the 12 MPs, which includes him, to leave not PANGU Pati, but the Party Leader Marape.  Mr Paita said: “Mr Marape proudly stated that the party unanimously voted to maintain his position as party leader, and maintain the position of the deputy party leader, but I place on record that we, the PANGU MPs who have challenged Marape’s leadership, were NOT given an opportunity to vote on this matter. “At the time of the meeting, we were still PANGU Pati MPs and

  May 4, 2021 Main Stories By MIRIAM ZARRIGA POLICE Minister William Gogl Onglo says the country is fighting three huge battles: the fast – multiplying Covid-19 pandemic, the spiralling economy and escalating law and order issues. “Ethnic clashes in the National Capital District, the Alotau issue and tribal fighting in Kainantu are all matters that need urgent intervention,” he said.
