Married in December of 2011 and has one 4 years old child and an adopted 6 years old child. Wife is also a medical doctor; a Paediatrician and is from the East Sepik Province. I have 4 siblings and am the second last child in a family of five.

I come from the Lanekep clan of the Yanairin Tribe in the Wabag Central area. My tribe are the traditional land owners of what is now Wabag Town.

Highlights

The following are some leadership highlights of my career:

As the Coordinator for the Sopas Project I have delivered this project very successfully and also has attained international re-cognition by getting aid from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Australian Government. 

For more than 2 decades, our provincial government has been trying to get assistance from the DFAT of the Australian Government but attempts have been futile till now. 

The DFAT have come in because of the very high level of transparency we maintained through delivery of initial projects here at Sopas and the level of quality in projects delivered.

Sack the Minister: SME Corruption Exposes Theft of Public Money

Picture Supplied Sack the Minister: SME Corruption Exposes Theft of Public Money By: Hon. James Nomane  Thursday, 25 June 2026 Papua New Guinea New Guinea's small and medium enterprise programme — conceived to lift ordinary citizens out of poverty and build a productive private sector — has been comprehensively pillaged. Thanks to whistleblowers, the Opposition has received documentary evidence that reveals a pattern of fraud, cronyism, and kleptocracy so brazen that it demands immediate criminal investigation and the sacking of the responsible Minister. Whilst the country has missed out on SME support as a priority program under the Marape government, the hundreds of millions in budget appropriation in every budget cycle have gone to the hands of a few: relatives, cronies, and political allies. Funding that could have grown the economy has been sadly consumed by the “kaikai man”. The evidence is damning, documented, and undeniable. Payment registers obtained by ...

My Views on the Gold Bullion Bill: These are my own views without reading the profiles of any of the companies involved, the draft bill, or the arguments (for and against) surrounding the bill. 1. PNG owned 22.5% of Lihir and 22.5% of Porgera and Mekere sold them in 2001. 2. Consequently, for the last 22yrs, the State of PNG had no recourse to the revenue of the sale of gold or the actual productions (i.e. gold bars); 3. ⁠We sold our interests in Lihir and Porgera for pittance (that’s a different discussion if you folks want to have it!) 4. ⁠For 2022 years PNGeans were happy! 5. ⁠Nobody complained! 6. ⁠The Lihir and Porgera mines are very lucrative gold mines in the world and Barrick and Newcrest had a field day over these mines in the last 22 years and nobody claimed their gold productions were PNG’s assets!...
