  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

REMNANT AJ Group Limited, one of the contactor who was engaged by the National Housing Corporation to connect the sewage system at the NHC’s new Durand Project site donated a new vehicle to NHC on Friday, 7th June, 2024.


The key of the new vehicle that costed the company close to K150, 000 was presented to the NHC’s project management division who will be using the vehicle to do inspection on the Durand project site on a daily basis.


NHC Acting Managing Director Abel Tol while thanking the Company Managing Director Andy Minok, he said purchasing a vehicle by the contractor and donating it to NHC was one of the requirement written on the Contract signed.


Tol said this company, Remnant AJ Group Limited was awarded a K3. 2 Million worth Project and that was to fix and connect the sewage system from the MacGregor Police Barracks all the way to the main Sewer.


This contract was awarded to this named company in July last year and this is one of the few contractors who were engaged by NHC not only for the Sewage system but for Electricity connection, Water Connection and many others.


He said the project is about 80 per cent complete and NHC will commission the new sewage system in July this year.

    This is not a donation. You are fulfilling your contractual requirement. What type of a contract is this? The Ombudsmen need to look into this.

    Red flags here ,Why would it be stipulated in the contract as a requirement if contract is awarded??

    NHC is a statutory body and not a NGO group that needs support in kind or monetary terms to carry on daily operational activities.

    Nothing is wrong with the contractor in this case. It is clearly stated that the contractor was just fulfilling one of its contractual agreements. And this contractor is actually delivering some quality works. So ol gutpla lain please, yumi noken larim jealousy controllim yumi na comment. Ol bikpla ol foreign companies wok lo stealim billions blo yumi stap na yumi eye pass. But we got good eyes in identifying the faults of our own (local) companies who are struggling to progress. Ooh PNG people pls, jealousy ya jealousy, yumi still go backwards stap ya my goodness!😴😴

      What kind of a contractual obligation is that??? No way, that's sweetener and clearly a corrupt deal. Both recipient and giver are engaged in corruption and should be investigated

    This doesn’t seems right and doesn’t sound correct in public eyes. Needs investigation

    Who, in his right frame of mind, would insert a clause that is conditioned upon giving back something to sponsor of a project (NHC)? Clearly it goes against the spirit and intent of National Procurement Act and the PFMA. Investigations should be carried with the matter referred to Ombudsman and the Fraud. Day light fraud it is.

    As reading through the paragraph which stated "NHC Acting Managing Director Abel Tol while thanking the Company Managing Director Andy Minok, he said purchasing a vehicle by the contractor and donating it to NHC was one of the requirements written on the Contract signed". If this statement is correctly quoted by this reporter or journalist, then nothing is wrong with the contractor in this case. It is clearly stated that the contractor was just fulfilling one of its contractual agreements.

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. In a phone interview with  The National,  Onglo said the fear and anxiety within the community should be addressed. “The reality is that we now have three huge battles to fight,” Onglo said. “We have the pandemic, the economy and the escalating law and order issues. “Law and order is everyone’s business and any under-lying causes into the ethnic clashes need to be identified and resolved by the leaders of the communities. “The law has to work due to the breakdown in law and order around the country. “We are commencing preparations for the 2022 General Election and we need to resolve the disputes and ethnic

4 held over cop’s killing POLICE arrested four suspected cop killers in Dobel’s Tari Camp in Mt Hagen on Wednesday, Western Highlands Commander Superintendent John Sagom says. “They were arrested by Mt Hagen-based Mobile Squad members in connection with the murder of Senior Constable Nelson Kalimda (on Oct 20),” he added. Sagom said the suspects would be under strict watch by Mt Hagen police throughout the process of investigations. “While they are in police custody in Mt Hagen police station, they will not be released under any special circumstances. “The arrest of the suspects is the first step to pave way for the criminal investigation process to run, and thus the Mt Hagen-based police must not under any circumstances let them go or release them on bail,” he added. According to the mobile unit, it is believed that the suspects were in Mt Hagen earlier this week and they drove around in a white Toyota LandCruiser when caught. It is also believed that the prime suspect came to the pro
