🔥 🔥 ICAC Whistleblower Storm Rocks PNG! 🇵🇬💥
A political firestorm is shaking the heart of Papua New Guinea’s anti-corruption watchdog. Suspended ICAC Deputy Commissioners Graham Gill and Daniel Baulch have come forward — claiming their suspension was a retaliation for exposing alleged corruption within the agency itself. 😱
Gill says he joined ICAC in 2023 after taking assurances from Prime Minister James Marape, believing he could help clean up corruption. But now, he calls their removal “outrageous and unlawful.” Both deputies claim they were never told the reasons for their suspension — receiving the notice only by email. 📩
According to them, they had raised concerns about Commissioner Andrew Forbes’ conduct, fulfilling their lawful duties as required by ICAC’s Organic Law. However, instead of an investigation, they allege the Appointments Committee, chaired by the Prime Minister, turned against them — initiating what they describe as a vendetta of fabricated complaints and retaliatory action.
Confidential sources back these claims, warning that this sends a chilling message to future whistleblowers:
👉 “Do so at your own peril.” ⚠️
If PNG’s top anti-corruption officials can be silenced, what does that say about the Government’s political will to fight corruption? Citizens are demanding transparency, accountability, and leadership — not silence. 💬
🇵🇬 PNG deserves better.
