Henry Amuli of Pangu Pati Declared MP-elect for Sohe Open

Pangu Pati Candidate Henry Amuli Declared MP-elect for Sohe Open

Press Release, Port Moresby, June 8, 2024

Prime Minister and Pangu Pati Leader Hon. James Marape has congratulated Pangu candidate Henry Amuli for being declared as MP-elect for Sohe Open in Northern (Oro) Province.

Prime Minister Marape, in congratulating Mr. Amuli for his win, described him as a “great ambassador” for Sohe, Northern, and Papua New Guinea for accompanying Australian Prime Minister Hon. Anthony Albanese and him (pictured) during their trek from Kokoda to Isurava in April this year while not being an MP.

Mr. Amuli polled 12,189 votes at 2:30 pm today to be declared as Sohe MP ahead of People’s National Congress candidate Paulinias Uhena, who received 11,548 votes.

“I congratulate our Pangu Pati candidate Henry Amuli on being declared as MP-elect for Sohe Open,” Prime Minister Marape said.

“His win goes to show the faith that people have in Pangu amidst so much politics.

“Our appreciation goes out to all the people who participated in this by-election and those who gave Mr. Amuli their preferential votes.

“Pangu has so far won three of four by-elections, coming second only in Maprik yesterday, which just goes to show people’s faith in the party during hard times. Our goal is to create a better PNG, leaving no place or person behind, with all-inclusive development right across the country.

“Mr. Amuli was re-elected as Sohe MP in the 2022 National General Election, and I appointed him as a minister. However, his win was challenged in the Supreme Court in January this year and declared null-and-void.

“His win in the by-election should put to rest any doubts about his re-election as Sohe MP in 2022.”

Prime Minister Marape said his two-day trek with Prime Minister Albanese had opened up his eyes to the difficulties faced by Mr. Amuli’s Biage people, who lived in rugged and unforgiving country in Kokoda Trail villages.

“After my trek with Prime Minister Albanese, I made a commitment to harness and enhance the tourism potential of the iconic Kokoda Trail, across both Central and Northern provinces.

“This development aims to improve the livelihoods of local communities while maintaining the authenticity of the trail experience.

“Now that Mr. Amuli has been reelected, I will be able to work with him towards making those become a reality.”

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 ...

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!...
