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.

Goroka police have arrested five men over their alleged involvement in the murder of PNG Ports managing director Fego Kiniafa.

Provincial Police Commander Chief Superintendent Michael Welly said the men are in police custody and are now being questioned over the slaying of Kiniafa on the morning of September 17 near Nagamiufa village outside Goroka town.

Kiniafa and his driver were reportedly slashed with machetes after the CEO shot a Nagamiufa villager.

Mr Welly said investigations are continuing into the killing which sparked a tribal fight.

In the early hours of last Saturday between 1am and 4am, it is alleged that Kiniafa, who had turned 43 on September 16, PNG Independence Day, was with a few men near Nagamiufa village when a confrontation occurred.

Kiniafa, from Korofeigu village in Lower Bena, is alleged to have discharged a weapon.

The bullet hit another man.

The shooting incited several tribesmen of the injured man to attack Kiniafa, slashing him several times before leaving him at the scene.

Details about what happened next has not been mentioned by police, however it is believed Kiniafa was rushed to the Goroka General Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Two days later on Monday, a 4am dawn raid was conducted at the Nagamiufa village by men allegedly from Korofeigu village, Lower Bena.

The raid on Nagamiufa caused about 400 plus women, girls and the old to seek refuge within the gates of the Bihute Correctional Services prison.

The Goroka Airport also shut its gates causing several 100 passengers made up of tourists and locals to be stranded inside the terminal.

Throughout Goroka town, business closed their doors, the hospital also tightened its security while schools were shut for the day as police tried to calm the situation.

Assistant Commissioner of Police – Northern Command Peter Guinness has confirmed with the Post-Courier the support of two mobile squads from Mt Hagen, Western Highlands and a Mobile Squad from Lae, Morobe Province are now in Goroka, Eastern Highlands province.

Since Monday the situation has returned to some sort of normalcy with police continuing to keep watch on the situation on the ground.

Investigations continue.
