Proud of our sons: In praise of Engan MPs

I THANK THE HONOURABLE MEMBERS from Enga Province who have been contributing tirelessly to the development of their province and the country one way or the other.

They played major roles in mobilising and demobilising the national government during their term in the parliament. We are proud of our sons.

Keep up the shining leadership, honourable member for Kandep and senior minister in successive governments, Don Polye.

You made us proud when you fly high the Engan flag across the nation. I believe if we have a system like that of the USA where the president is voted for by the people, Don Polye would attract millions of people in favour.

Why do many people called “Action Governor” to the honourable governor of Enga, Peter Ipatas? You know what? He initiated so many projects in all districts in Enga before and after the amendment to Provincial and Local Level Government Act.

Some where along the life lane up in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Memories to linger.

PNG former Prime Minister told the PM Peter O'Neil not to mislead the LNG landowners

The O’Neill government had not progressed payments to LNG landowners since it took office in 2011, former prime minister Sir Michael Somare says.

Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare

He referred to the 2009 contract between landowners and the State in the PNGLNG project and said it was “sad’’.

Sir Michael said, “It has been six years since the Somare government and the Beneficiary group landowners signed off on the Umbrella Benefits Sharing Agreement (UBSA) yet Mr O’Neill sees fit to treat them, Provincial government and Local Level Governments (LLGs) with contempt by using delay tactics and misinforming them on their benefits.”

Sir Michael said Mr O’Neill’s recent ‘assurances’ to LNG Landowners of a ‘better deal’ were mischievous and designed to mislead landowners.

He said “The Prime Minister should start delivering the benefit packages in the 2009 Kokopo Umbrella Benefits Sharing Agreement before offering more of his renowned empty promises.

“The 2009 Kokopo UBSA’s total benefits sharing package represents absolute value that stands at a staggering USD11Billion over 25 years - this could hardly be considered as ‘a raw deal’ as suggested by Mr O’Neill.

Life is a journey full of experiences. People come and go but the memories like this can bring back those moments in life, even in million miles. Thank God that I started as a member of a family up in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, in a place called Tsak Valley in Wapenamanda District of Enga Province. I met many thousand people and experiences on my way which these arts will play back those young and wild rhythms.

My Photo Album: Collections of photos of all my soti mobs back at home. These will definitely be a memories to recall in million miles.

In brief;

1. Geoffrey Vaki – found guilty on preventing the course of justice to arrest Prime Minister Peter O’Neill

2. Hon Ano Pala – found guilty on the same subject –preventing the course of justice to arrest Prime Minister Peter O’Neill.

How long will it take to arrest the country’s most corrupt Prime Minister Peter O’Neill? I’m saying most corrupt since he cannot turn himself in, to face the justice and clear all the allegations labeled against him. Instead, his two blind slaves are now receiving their cut of shares for negligence to allow law to take its course.

It doesn’t need someone with a law degree to interpret the unfolded events, since the revelation of Paul Paraka saga. Let me give a brief rundown from a layman’s view, of what has transpired and materialized from day one till this date...
