The PNG Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly in Favor of Prime Minister James Marape

In a resounding show of support, the Papua New Guinea Parliament voted 84-0 in favor of Prime Minister James Marape on a motion without notice moved by the leader of Government Business, Renbo Paita.

The motion, which expressed confidence in Prime Minister Marape's leadership, was met with objections from opposition MPs who cited concerns about its compliance with parliamentary laws and standing orders. Despite their protests, the motion proceeded to a vote, with Parliamentary Opposition MPs choosing to boycott the meeting.

However, following the announcement of the outcome by the acting Speaker, opposition MPs returned to the session.

In response to the vote, Prime Minister Marape expressed gratitude to the MPs for their vote of confidence, stating, "I commend the Members of Parliament for having confidence in me."

Regarding the opposition's boycott, Prime Minister Marape emphasized that parliamentary proceedings are governed by numerical support, acknowledging the importance of maintaining order and fairness in the process.

Addressing the conduct of parliamentary sessions, he praised the acting Speaker for ensuring meetings are conducted without bias or favoritism, urging MPs to engage in constructive dialogue without resorting to disruptive behavior.

Despite the overwhelming vote of confidence, the motion of no-confidence filed against Prime Minister Marape remains on the parliamentary agenda. The matter is currently subject to legal deliberations, reflecting the ongoing political dynamics within Papua New Guinea's government.

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!...
