Governor Allan Bird Demands Marape's Removal Allan Bird, the governor of East Sepik, is speaking out against how Papua New Guinea (PNG) is being run. He's not happy with Prime Minister James Marape and wants things to change. Allan Bird is becoming a big voice in the opposition party. He's known for being honest and talking about the problems people care about, like bad government and lack of honesty. He says people are tired of the government's decisions. One of the things Allan Bird is criticizing is the Connect PNG program. This program is supposed to improve roads and other infrastructure across the country. But Allan Bird says the money isn't being used properly. He wants to know where the money is going and if it's really helping people. This raises questions about whether the government is being honest about how it spends money. Allan Bird's speech has started a big discussion about who should be leading PNG and how the country should be run. He...

Prime Minister Hon. James Marape says Papua New Guinea can become a food supplier to the world with its abundance of land and sea.
PM Marape, when addressing the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Friday (September 23, 2022), invited new international development partners to work with PNG in the agriculture sector, particularly in downstream processing.
Earlier in the week, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, when addressing the UNGA, talked about the emerging world food crisis as a direct result of the Russia-Ukraine war.
PM Marape said many parts of the world were facing food insecurity, hunger and poverty and PNG could be a country of food production.
He said PNG’s people lived in a land mass of 462,840 square km and also had a large sea area which supplied tuna to Asia and Europe.

“PNG has enough land, sea and people to be a food supplier to the world, Mr Secretary-General, in response to your concerns for global food security,” PM Marape said.
“For the first time, in our country, my Government has inserted efforts to address this imminent problem by placing more emphasis on the agriculture sector.
“This is viewed not only as a revenue source for our economy, but also a conduit to empower the majority of our rural communities through introduction of innovative farming methods in cash crop production, livestock and poultry to take ownership and leadership of their development needs, and livelihoods, and at the same time also foster poverty alleviation and food security.
“It is from this perspective that we have established new ministerial portfolios for Oil Palm, Coffee and Livestock.
“That will assist us cater better not only for needs of the majority of our rural communities and their local economies to be integrated into the national and global markets, to improve their lives and livelihood but be the source for food security, and hunger and poverty alleviation for other countries.
“We therefore welcome new international development partners to work with us in the agriculture sector, particularly in the downstream processing of products that add value and support local communities and the country.”

Full speech: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Address to Papua New Guinea's Parliament
𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗣𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗬??? By Hon. Bryan Kramer: Tue April 8 2025 Our Pati Leader, Hon. Paita, has issued a press statement reaffirms Our Pati's unwavering support for the Pangu-led Government and PM Marape, ahead of impending vote of no confidence (VoNC). "This is no time for political instability - it is a time for nation-building during a challenging period of our nation's history," said Paita, who also serves as Minister for Mining and Special Projects. Paita added: "Why does stability matter? Our Pati's own experience have shown that political instability comes at high cost for PNG - especially when the nation needs unity above all else. It erodes investors confidence, delays major projects, and disrupts governance. Countries like Singapore, Rwanda, and Fiji have thrived by prioritizing stable leadership and policy consistency. PNG must do the same." 𝗠𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲: That's quite amusing - considering many of these ...
MEDIA STATEMENT BY HON. JAMES NOMANE. Appeal to MPs to Put the Country First (Monday 7 April 2025) Is Papua New Guinea better off since Honourable James Marape became Prime Minister in 2019? This is the key question that all MPs must ask themselves before the upcoming Vote of No Confidence (VONC) in April. All MPs must put the country first and not limit their focus to districts and provinces. From 2019 to 2025 the cumulative budget total of the Marape government has been K156.8 billion, comprised of K39.9 billion (25%) debt financing and K116.9 billion (75%) tax revenue. This K39.9 billion debt is the highest incurred by any government since Independence and by the end of 2025 our national debt will reach K65.0 billion. This high level of debt will reduce investment in health and education and put more pressure on loan repayments. We cannot see the cumulative effect of spending K156.8 billion in 6 years? Where are the notable public investments that are making ...
