The 2026 Budget is a complete joke when it comes to Connect PNG. They keep pumping in massive amounts of money, but there’s nothing to show for it. Roads are still falling apart, projects are half-done, and the whole program feels like a bottomless pit swallowing funds with zero results. How can a budget be this huge and still deliver absolutely nothing?

Urged to Act on “Papa Lain Association” Scam in Port Moresby

Tuesday November 11, 2025

City authorities are being urged to take firm action against the so-called Papa Lain Association, a group that continues to gather at Lahara Park in Boroko six days a week, promoting what appears to be a long-running scam.

The group’s leaders claim that billions of kina in “foreign funds” will soon be released and shared among its members. For more than 30 years, thousands of followers have held onto this promise — with many reportedly dying while still waiting for their supposed windfall.

Concerned observers say the continued operation of the group raises serious questions about why law enforcement agencies have not intervened to stop the ongoing deception.

Fellow NCD residents,

Remember when Governor Powes Parkop invested in installing CCTV cameras across the city? Some of you might have questioned the cost, but let's not forget the value they bring.

These cameras are more than just a tool for law enforcement; they're a vital resource for our community. They provide accurate information, help resolve disputes, and bring perpetrators to justice.

The recent car accident at Koni freeway is a prime example. Thanks to CCTV footage, the incident is now clearly reported, and the truth is out. This shows how these cameras can make a real difference in our daily lives.

Let's appreciate the foresight of our Governor and the benefits these cameras bring to our city.

Got on a PMV (bus) and sat right at the back seat. I sat next to an elderly man who has a pen and a note book doing some simple math. At first I was pleased to see such person doing the math accurately. However he recognised me watching him so he got up and said, 'Papa, me traim lo wokim calculation lo dishla lik² moni (K500) now me kam rauisim lo account bilong me lo bai me givim ol lik² bubu na pikinini stap lo university'. "Dispela moni me salim kau² na kisim". "Tasol Papa, inap u helpim me lo calculatim dispela blo 6pela pikinini?"
Without hesitation, I said, "Yes Papa, bai me helpim u".
While travelling he said, 'Papa bai me igo down lon hia' so we dropped him. To my suprise, his wife waited patiently for him at the roadside where she shouted at him saying; kai² blo haus where na u kam natin?😭💔
Deep down my heart stormed with tears 😭, I couldn't hold back my tears. He has the love for the children.
Dear young ones, keep ur old people close to ur heart. Taim u work money ok tingim ol pass, na sapos ol go pinis ok lukautim mat² blong ol good 🤝❤️.

OPPOSITION DEMANDS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO MVIL SHARE SALE TO MRDC

Opposition Media Release
Port Moresby, 21st July 2025

The Opposition is calling for an immediate Commission of Inquiry (COI) into the recent sale of Motor Vehicle Insurance Limited (MVIL) shares in BSP Financial Group Limited to the Mineral Resources Development Company (MRDC). The call was made during a press conference this afternoon by Member for Sinesine-Yongomugl and senior Opposition MP, Hon. Kerenga Kua, who described the transaction as a “State-sponsored crime.”

Speaking at Dream Inn, Port Moresby, Mr. Kua accused the Government of acting unlawfully by selling off assets it does not beneficially own, and called for an immediate freeze on the proceeds of the sale, pending a full investigation.

“The first question is whether the State beneficially owns all the shares in MVIL, or if it holds them in trust for the actual beneficiaries—namely, motor vehicle owners in Papua New Guinea,” said Mr. Kua.

“To act like a shareholder and claim dividends from a company without ever owning any shares in it is tantamount to fraud and theft. It is a crime.”

He maintained that the State has been illegally receiving dividends from MVIL for years, despite not being a rightful shareholder. According to Kua, the proper legal beneficiaries of MVIL’s earnings and assets are motor vehicle owners, past and present.

“All the previous dividends claimed and received by the State are illegal and liable to recovery by the true beneficiaries,” he added.

Mr. Kua further demanded that the proceeds from the MVIL-BSP share sale be immediately placed in an escrow account and not used to fund any Government projects, particularly those recently referenced by the Minister for State Enterprises, Hon. William Duma.

“I call upon BSP—or any bank currently holding these funds—to freeze the accounts where the proceeds have been deposited. Continued transactions on these funds could amount to money laundering, especially now that the legality of the sale has been publicly challenged.”

He emphasized that all financial institutions are now on notice and that any further movement of funds could result in legal consequences.

“Banks, including BSP, cannot ignore this controversy. Until it is resolved by an independent and competent authority—whether through a Commission of Inquiry, the courts, or through investigations by the Ombudsman Commission, ICAC, or police—any financial activity involving these proceeds is reckless and improper.”

The Opposition has reiterated its stance that a full Commission of Inquiry under the Commission of Inquiry Act is the appropriate course of action, to ensure transparency, accountability, and public confidence in the handling of State-owned entities and assets.
