PNGLOOP (30.10.2015)

The Committal Court today ruled that it has found sufficient evidence against Maprik MP John Simon to warrant him to stand trial at the National Court.

Magistrate Cosmas Bidar found that allegations of two counts of false pretence and the 38 counts of official corruption

against Simon were sufficient for his court to commit the MP to stand trial.

It is alleged that the two counts of false pretence with intention to defraud arose from Simon obtaining funds from the Maprik District Service Improvement Program.

This saw amounts of K37,050 and K49,000 respectively paid into two of Simon's family companies; Extreme Hire Cares and Extreme Construction Ltd in 2012.

These funds were allegedly paid out by the Maprik District Treasurer after threats were issued by Simon.

Amid the three charges laid against the Minister for Justice and Attorney General Ano Pala today, he appeared calm and even took time to smile confidently at the PNG Loop cameras.

The Minister was accompanied by only an office staffer and a legal representative when he went into the Fraud and Anti Corruption office.

When our reporter took the picture the Minister smiled calmly and paused, to allow for the picture to be taken.

During the more than two hours that he was attained for questioning, from 10 am till nearly 1pm this afternoon, the Fraud squad car park was filled with the Minister’s concerned staff and supporters.

At about 1pm he was moved to the Boroko police station to undergo cell procedures where he was detained for less than an hour and then escorted to the Waigani District court.

There,he and his team will apply for bail for the Minister.

Even emerging from the Boroko cells the Minister appeared calm and smiled to the cell guards as he was escorted out to his vehicle which was waiting at the back of the station.

The Minister is now at the Waigani court house.

Yesterday (Wednesday 28/10/15) Opposition has delivered on their promise to move a Motion of No Confidence against the Prime Minister Peter O'Neill.

Opposition held a press conference today before serving the motion on the Acting Speaker Aide Ganasi who is the chairman of Private Business Committee (PBC). 

In accordance with the Standing Orders of Parliament the PBC will vet the motion to ensure it has complied with constitutional requirements; giving no less than 1 weeks notice; signed by at least 12 MPs; nominating the next Prime Minister and is of national importance. 

The Clerk of Parliament will verify the signatories before it is considered by the Committee. Once approved it will be delivered back to the Clerk to list on the Notice Paper possibly for next Thursday's sitting. The motion was moved by leader of Pangu Sam Basil and the nominee is the Clerk of Parliament. It seems the opposition has taken the strategic position to nominate Polye to carry the motion to the floor and reserve the right

Work Minister Francis Awesa suing PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill & Jimmy Maladina Over Fraudulent Transfer Of Ownership Of Global Construction Ltd

By Michael J. PASSINGAN

PNGBLOGS (20.10.2015)

As things get heated up in Waigani for the looming Vote of No Confidence, one of Prime Minister O’Neill’s close confidante and Minister for Works, Hon Francis Awesa is having a bitter split with his Prime Minister and close associate Jimmy Maladina. 

The tales of fraud involving O’Neill and Jimmy as main characters never ceases to end.

In this new drama, Works Minister Francis Awesa is taking the duo to court for illegally and fraudulently transferring his interests in one of the biggest construction companies in PNG –Global Construction Ltd. Global Construction was started in 1994 and the registered shareholder then was Kandy No. 7 Limited owned by Derek Michael Jepson, who is casually referred to as Mick Jepson.

On 1st August 1996, Mr Awesa, through his family company called Allestree No. 10 Ltd purchased about 24,999 shares from Kandy No. 7 to be a part owner of Global. Today, Allestree No. 10 Ltd is no longer a shareholder of Global, nor FA as one of the latter’s directors.

The IPA online records do not show how Allestree No. 10 Ltd’s interests were transferred back to Kandy No. 7 Ltd. The relevant documents are conveniently missing. However, what it does show is that as of this date, Kandy No. 7 Ltd retains the entire 50,000 shares...

Former Papua New Guinea police commissioner Geoffrey Vaki was arrested this morning and is being detained at the Boroko police station. It was reported by Bryan Krama on PNG News page on Facebook he will be overnight in Boroko Cells after his lawyers failed to secure his release. 

His arrest comes after a bench warrant was issued by the National Court for him failing to attend and appear at the National Court.

Vaki was charged with perverting the course of justice however that case was dismissed at the Committal Court for lack of evidence.

An ex-officio case later proceeded against Vaki after the Public Prosecutor elected the case to progress at the National Court before the Criminal Court.

PNG Loop confirmed with the Director of National Fraud and Anti-Corruption Directorate Matthew Damaru that Mr Vaki was arrested this morning following the issuing of a bench warrant.

He is facing allegations of attempting to pervert the course of justice and abuse of official powers or his powers as Police Commissioner then. These charges emanate from his refusal to execute a warrant of arrest against Prime Minister Peter O’Neill last year.

Give Education your best and the best will always come back to you

Looking into another Dimension 

By Kosal Allen MALISO

It all started when I was in preparatory school in the mountains of the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Most of my early childhood life was spent in Kosal village of Wapenamanda District Enga Province.

At that stage, I did not remember what education is and its importance. It was like my playground, my favourites were kaukau, marble and my play mates. 

Every morning I wake up, the first thing in my mind is my teen ages and my main motive seemed to be playing with them. When my parents told me to go to school I always took the chance playing with my teens and that’s all I thought. But I did not realize I was going through a process.

Beside all these, with this childish memo, somehow, somewhere in my mind, I loved not education but the SOUND of it.

Time elapsed and I could find myself at primary school. At this stage I feared whether I would do grade 9/10. They became something big for me and I felt like I had no potential to be in such grades. The so called university thing was something strange and rare to me and I had no idea about it. When I, sometimes, tried to compare myself with University, it
