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.

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...

The PNG National Court sends Maprik MP to trial
John Simon, MP |
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.

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...
