CHIEF POLE YALUMA CALLS FOR PAYMENT FOR AWARDS, RETRENTCHMENT, RETIREMENT AND RESIGNMENT

Dear Sir,

REF:  PAYMENT FOR AWARDS, RETRENTCHMENT, RETIREMENT AND RESIGNMENT FOR CR. POLE YALUMA.

Chief Pole with his 6th wife

I am Councilor Pole Yaluma of Lumusa LLG in the Mul Baiyer Lumusa District. I am the current ward councilor for Kissan Clan of the Poma Tribe.

I am married with six wives and I have fourth generation in my family today and am growing old, hundred – seventeen (117) years old (1904-2021).

Brief history on leadership I provided on services during colonial times up until now.

1.      In 1932, the district commissioner of Wapenamanda appointed me a Bos Boi to look after the 16 tribes of Lumusa District when that time Lumusa was part of Wapenamanda District. I was a young man not even married. My job included awareness on Government services that are to come and enforce Law and Good Order in their communities. I was a Bos Boi for 9 years (1932- 1940).

2.       1941, the district commissioner of Wapenamanda appointed me a Luluai to look after 16 tribes of Lumusa District Commissioner for big penalties. I was Luluai for 11 years (1941- 1952). That time, I was already married with three (3) wives with 8 children.

One of my tasks was bringing the convicted (kalabus lain) from home (Lumusa to wapenamanda). It took me 2-3 days to travel.

Who will we blame for misuse of funds?

BY JOE WASIA

Senseless leaders and bureaucrats have abused the rights of the 7 million plus people to development benefits and better services.

AUS Aid and all other development funds for this country are not being well utilized and are misused. But I wonder who actually mismanage and fraud all the funds. Who can we blame for all the corrupt practice?

I believe there are four groups of people responsible for the socio-economic problems in the country and not only the government.

First, the members of parliament should make the right decisions in the best interests of the people. Our MPs should channel funds into the appropriate projects and appoint the right people on merit than beneficiaries to account for all the consequences.

Our leaders shouldn’t entertain their relatives or political allies to run the show. They should understand that they need to uphold the peoples’ interests at all costs.

Corruption is not far in office where you have your friends working beside and unfortunately we have adopted this concept and has become systematic in all levels of our government systems.
The public service machinery is the most important department of the government but has lost focus.
They have failed the government in implement their roles to achieve the government goals and objectives. The public service machinery should identify the priorities of the people and bring tangible and socio-economic development to the rural places.

The bureaucrats and the public services in control of development funds are not transparent in diverting funds into the areas where it is needed.

The consultants and advisors especially Australians are dominating our government system, education, health and policy development. I think our own experts can do a better job.

LEADERSHIP STYLE: WESTERN -VS- MELANESIAN

BY BRYAN KRAMER

In recent days I've noticed there has been much discussion on social media comparing the leadership style between myself and Governor of East Sepik Allan Bird in relation to the Prime Minister Peter O'Neill's visit to our Provinces.

While some have tried to explain it in the context of Melanesian versus Western style leadership, what most don't realize is that both have a lot more in common than they think.

Anthropologist (people who study various aspects of humans within past and present societies) describe Melanesian Hausman as very important institutions where cultural values and norms were taught by elders to sustain the Melanesian people over the decades and centuries.

They emphasis that Hausman are bases of governance, politics, culture, law and order, education, and address political, social and cultural issues of the society.

Hausman are chaired by chiefs and headmen who maintained social order, and law and

Congratulations Dr Samson Amean On Your Reappointment As Enga Provincial Administrator

BY ROBIN LAKARI

Congratulations Dr Samson Amean for your reappointment as head of the Enga provincial public service.

The renewal of your contract for another term of four years is truly a milestone achievement for the province as you became the country’s (first) longest serving provincial administrator. 

We all should be proud of this. I also treat the appointment as a vote of trust and confidence by the top level Government of Prime Minister Peter O’Neill and his Cabinet in your record leadership in stewarding service delivery including project development, all towards nation building.

Not only that, your no nonsense management knack on upholding the public (administrative) system including staff and general procurement (of public resources) would also be the shinning factors that contributed to attracting Government’ attention.

Otherwise, as a member of the provincial public service (in the capacity as head of a school), I will be looking forward to working closely with you to ensure that our province sees another term of four successful years of service delivery including stability that our provincial political leadership under Grand Chief Sir Peter Ipatas requires very much to move our province to another level.

With that I wish you and your family a joyous Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2019..

Despite Governor Ipatas’ Quality Education Campaign In 2017-The 2018 Results Take A Nose Dive.

BY SANDY TALITA

Thank you Mr Education Minister & his secretary for weeding out corruption n politics in the Education Department in Papua New Guinea.

Many provinces in the country thrived on corrupt schemes in collaboration with senior officers in your department by;
1) Providing exam answer sheets
2) Collaboration on biased selection by higher institutions despite low GPAs
3) Biased ranking of Secondary Schools n not on merit n performance.
4) Misuse n mis application of Enga Subsidy n used the uneven distribution as a political tool to solicit favors n garner political support. Enga was no exception, perhaps it was first.

Since the introduction of the online selections, the true colors of Engas much publicized Education showed up in the 1st year of introduction. Most of us are amused on its turn around results. It's fitting to say; time to identify sheep from goat has finally arrived

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

BY ROBIN LAKARI

The 38 Hectare Farm land at Yogos in Tsak Valley Wapenamanda District, Enga Province of Papua New Guinea is now a agricultural hub.

The farm land is being ploughed by a new Tractor to prepare the land to grow Potatoes, strawberries and bulb onions. This is a project that is run by the Israeli Agro Industry in partnership with the Enga Provincial Government as per the EPG vision on SME.

Mr Den Lev, a Farmer and also a specialist in farm machinaries introduced the basic skills to the Tractor operator to start the farm work. There will be two tractors used at the farm to cultivate the land. Mr Dan left for Mt Hagen to pick up the other Tractor. He told the locals to assist where necessary for the Tractor to do its work.

The locals in Tsak Valley will be supplied with seedlings to farm their own potatoes, strawberries and bulb onions in two months time. The first lot of seedlings were supplied to some locals last week. Any potential farmers in the valley is expected to have
