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...

BOTH THE GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION SIDES SHOW SUPPORT TO MAKE SURE PMGH CANCER CENTER IS FUNCTIONAL

SHADOW MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND HEALTH MINISTER SHOW SUPPORT TO ENSURE PMGH CANCER CENTER IS FUNCTIONAL

Minister and Shadow Minister for Health show support to make sure PMGH Cancer center is functional

Press Release - Marape - Rosso Government 2022, 11 October 2022.

A week ago Minister for Health and HIV/AIDS Hon. Dr. Lino Tom with his delegation returned from Vienna, Austria, after signing the country’s Country Program Framework and Technical Corporation Program with the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA).

This agreement is critical which will pave the way to receive technical support from IAEA for cancer facilities in the country. Most importantly, the IAEA will support PMGH Cancer Center facilities meet International set standards so radioactive material for cancer treatment is brought into the country.

This morning before the Parliament session, Minister Lino and Health Secretary Dr. Osborne Liko and senior staff of the National Department of Health visited the PMGH Cancer Center under construction.

Accompanying Minister Lino was the Shadow Minister for Health, also a former Minister for Health, Hon. Elias Kapavore. Having a Shadow Minister attending an event with a Government Minister shows the commitment on both sides of the house to improve the health of our people.

Important stakeholders present were Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited Managing Director Mr. Wapu Sonk, the funding partner toward the heart and cancer projects, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISIT) Director General Mr. Victor Gabi, the IAEA regulatory representative in the country and Board Member and Chair of PMGH Board Projects and Facilities committee Mr. Luke Liria and key Government Agency representatives.

The presence of all stakeholders showed a commitment to ensure the PMGH Cancer Center is functional.

With the funding of K50million in 2022 budget allocation(of which K27million is yet to be released) and funding support of K74 million in 2023 budget, the country will be proud to have a world class Cancer Center by the end of 2023.

With other specialized services including cardiac and kidney in place by 2025, we as a country will celebrate 50 years of Independence with a specialized health care which we can rely on.

Note: Prime Minister Jame Marape commented that our hope to not have our people seeking health services offshore, we getting up to Lae and Port Moresby as our specialist hospitals. 

By this time next year, Marape Rosso Government will do all heart and cancer operations in Papua New Guinea and we will move towards kidney and liver treatment facilities in the country.

This is your Marape Rosso Government at work to make sure Port Moresby General Hospital Cancer Center is functional to safe many lives in the country and reduce death rate.

Slowly but surely,  one step at a time.

 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 ...

Appeal to MPs to Put the Country First - Media Statement By Hon. James Nomane

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 ...
