What Others Think of Enga Province

BY ROBIN LAKARI

“I have come to the breath-taking conclusion that public sector organization require change in its structure, design and directing in order to appropriately respond to the pressures and demands of our game plan. 

To successfully embark on the above, ownership and support of the government is a precondition. Enga’s thrust forward is to have a healthy and literate population that is self-sustaining by 2050” - Provincial Administrator, Dr Samson Amean.

“If there is any province that deserves to be praised for implementing important government programs toward the realization of Vision 2050, Enga Province will surely have my vote of trust and confidence.” – National Planning Minister, Charles Abel during the launching of electricity into Tsak Valley.

“Credit must go to Sir Peter Ipatas for coming up with a landmark decision to turn a

Every individual is entitled to his or her own views and opinions per premiable of the constitution of Papua New Guinea. I thank Facebook as one of the social media platforms for providing the avenue for individuals with concerns as this to air without fear or intimidation. I think in the long run many public figers will be put under microscopic lens.

To the subject, we all know Hon Rimbink Pato was tied up in the organising of one of the very very important and an historical event, the APEC Summit 2018, last month as a Foreign Affairs Minister, hence he had no time to be with us in the district delivering projects as many of us have expected. He had even sleepless nights here and abroad. It was indeed a huge challenge and an experience gain for Mr Pato and the O'Niel Govt. I take my hat off to this government for a well organised APEC Summit 2018.

No More Delays In Court Cases: Says PNG Chief Justice

BY TODAGIA KELOLA

The proverb “Justice delayed is justice denied”, an old but a partial truth reflecting the darker areas of the judicial system will be the first task of Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika.

In an exclusive interview with the Post-Courier yesterday, Sir Gibbs said he has gone through all outstanding judgments by all judges and he will be privately speaking to the judges to ensure that all delayed judgments are completed and delivered.

“It’s a challenge to the judiciary for us to deliver justice services to our people in a timely manner.”

“Some of our judges have reserved decisions which have been outstanding for quite a long time and I’m already doing that, I’m beginning to see which judges have that long reserved list and I have plans for that and that is for these judges to be taken off the normal day to day work and for them to concentrate on finishing their long outstanding reserved decisions,” Justice Salika said.

Call for sacking of school principals in Enga Province after fall in the Gr10 and Gr12 National Examinations

By Tony Sulupin

In light of disappointing selection results produced by Gr 12 students in Enga's 6 secondary schools, aggressive actions must be taken against the principals who had displayed incompetency in executing duties.

Its a sole duty of principal in consultation with his/her 2x deputies to ensure adequate learning is taking place. The competency and consistency of teaching staff is assessed on regular basis so that students don't miss out anything they deserve for learning.

The principals may have failed in their duties that students were not provided with conducive study environment in terms of food rations, behavior control, learning materials and of course quality/experienced teachers.

A New Doctrine for Married Couples in Life In The Spirit Ministries in Papua New Guinea

By Jay Kita

A New Doctrine Dawn For Married Couples - "Reunion of Marriage" in Papua New Guinea. Introducing Mass Weeding for Married Couples who are members of Life in the Spirit Ministries in Port Moresby.

The act of "Reunion of Marriage" . Is it biblical by this phrase??? It needs critical analysis of the biblical truth.It is the indication of deviating from the pure salvation and redemption plan for man by the Creator The God Almighty. Therefore, be watchful of the Human Ideologies and Fantasies indoctrinated in the ministries and churches today lure Christians from churches.

The Current PNG Government is ignoring the #SAD_REALITIES which the people are living with.

Tera Tandapu the Deputy Governor of Enga needs to step down now

To: The Enga Provincial Government
CC/; PPC Enga Chief Inspector Joseph Tondop
CC/; General Enga People
SUB: Hon. Tera Tandapu the Deputy Governor need to step down now


This notice to inform the general public and the Enga Provincial government that office of the deputy governor is in questionable stage where he needs immediate investigation on the current tribal fighting up at Laiagam between his clan and other neighboring clan in Liop Council ward. He was the former local councilor at Liop ward and later promoted to presidential seat in which he was the chief of Wayap Clans. He used to be one of the top servant leaders where he have so much evidential track records in quenching tribal fighting and used to be peace loving leader who promotes peace in the society and the district as well.
