KPHL TAKES RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST PAC

KPHL TAKES RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST PAC

by FM 100.
 

Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited (KPHL) has taken the Public Accounts Committee to court restraining the proceeding of the public inquiry hearing into KPHL.

On 22nd October 2019, the Dentons law firm under the instruction of KPHL's Managing Director Wapu Sonk, had gone to court to seek an urgent restraining order against PAC.

On this same day KPHL was supposed to appear before PAC for its public hearing, however, KPHL wrote to PAC asking for an extension of its hearing date saying it needed more time to look into some legal processes.

PAC approved KPHL's request and extended the new hearing date to 5th November 2019. This was the second extension given to KPHL after it also failed to appear for the first hearing.

However, immediately after PAC granted their second extension, KPHL went to court seeking the restraining order and served it to PAC on Wednesday 23rd October, 2019 not to go ahead with the public inquiry.

Justice Collin Makail enquired why KPHL's application was an ex parte application and the reason for KPHL to seek this restraining order.

The court adjourned the matter to 29th October 2019 at 9:30am.

Meantime, PAC welcomes the proceedings and with the committee's deliberations today, has resolved to defend this action in court.

The frustrated PAC members through their Chairman Sir John Pundari, says they fail to understand why KPHL would go to this extent to deny the people of PNG justice and the right to know where the proceeds of the PNG LNG project had gone to, after 500 plus shipments since 2014.

PAC members said they remain steadfast with people of PNG to know the details of where the revenues generated from the PNG LNG project have been expanded to.

PAC Deputy Chairman Gary Juffa labeled the action taken by KPHL as "unprecedented", adding PAC is the legitimate public committee responsible to scrutinize public funds.

PAC says the actions by KPHL not only questions the integrity of the committee, but also defies NEC's decision.

Hence PAC has also resolved to request for an intervention from the Prime Minister who is also the Chairman of NEC and the sole trustee shareholder in KPHL.

JUSTICE SYSTEM AN EXECUTIVE CLUB FOR FEW - By Allan Bird

JUSTICE SYSTEM AN EXECUTIVE CLUB FOR FEW: GOVERNOR BIRD By Allan Bird MP, Governor for East Sepik Province | The SUN of Papua New Guinea. It seems the rich and the powerful cannot be touched by our judiciary system. They can hire the best lawyers money can buy while police prosecuters are living in the settlements. Even when the Police Prosecuters are good at their job, well the workers in the courts help the rich and the powerful to get away with by robbing the future of our children. It seems that there is no place in PNG for good, decent and honest people. Only the rich and powerful, and evil people can get ahead in PNG. This is not a good sign.   I urge all good PNGeans to rise up, take back our country from the evil that has taken hold of our nation. As evil continues to win, good people will continue to lose hope. This is happening already.   Let's beat evil together. Don't let them win. If we all give up and give in, if evil people continue to win and there is no...

KEEP MARAPE AS PM! by Dr. Clement Waine.

KEEP MARAPE AS PM By Dr Clement Waine The foreign occupying powers want Prime Minister James Marape out of office because he signed MOU with MCC/Ramu NiCo for copper and nickel/cobalt smelting in the country. This MOU kick starts the wheels of industrialization. The foreign forces do not like PNG to rise to the next level of economic growth, and they are using all their powers within our own systems to derail the wheels of industrialization from spinning. All gullible PNGeans masquerading as intellectuals must know this single fact and stop beating their drums. Marape MUST stay back as PM, and we will all spin this wheel of industrialization that was already set in motion. I will tell you a story; it may help or not, but at least I am trying to convince you and others out there. In 2007, Marape became MP for Tari-Pori and became Minister for Education in Somare government. He dreamed of the concept of the National Schools of Excellence. He brought the submission to NEC, a meeting held ...

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective  From Dr Clement Wane PhD (Not Dr John Kuimb, Allan Bird or Justin Parker) Dr Clement Waine. 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!...
