Honourable Sir Julius Chan, GCL, GCMG, KBE, PC and Governor, New Ireland Province and Former Prime Minister Lady Stella Chan, Vanessa, Byron, Mark and Toea and your extended family Thank you for giving us the opportunity to pay our respects to this Great Leader of our country and our people.   Sir Julius as known to all of us, was a man amongst men. A leader of leaders and a statesman who dedicated his entire adult life contributing enormously to nation building.   As one of the founding fathers, Sir Julius served his country and people well. A service to his community and his stance on good governance are his public legacy. Shining examples of not just doing what is good for our people but also ensuring it is done right.   Doing the right thing is not always the easy thing but Sir J demonstrated over and over that this doing the right thing by Papua New Guinea was the only cou...

MINISTER PAITA CLARIFIES FUNDING ON HEALTH AND SATELLITE PROGRAM

 

MINISTER PAITA CLARIFIES FUNDING ON HEALTH & SATELLITE PROGRAM 

By Hon. Rainbo Paita via WhatsApp 

In my Term as Planning Minister, I've elevated the Central Hospital to a urgent project to be constructed starting next year.

With the support of Prime Minister James Marape, the 395 Beds Hospital will take the strain away from the Port Moresby General Hospital. 

Others include K39 million in cancer facility, K17 million to be paid now in intervention cardiology, K16 million in cervical center nation-wide setup and K90 million paid for upgrade of level 4 hospitals in several districts.

Next year major intervention will be made in health including the Medical University project.
On the satellite;

Everyday we don't have eyes in the sky( satellite) ---
we loose billions of kina to illegal fishing, illegal logging, lack of border security, high cost of rural communications, we can't even do e-education, e-health, e-commerce and real time electronic voting during election will just be a dream. And other usages for this technology.

Technology is the future. What is K1.4 billion if we loose to illegal fishing and logging an estimated K1 billion every year? 

Kumul Satellite One in my view is a critical national enabling infrastructure for all these programs to bounce off from- Germany OHB and SpaceX are not small players to be not providing a state of the art satwlite Solutions. This is 3 Years of work I've put into trying to get this project off the ground and I will not apologize to anyone for trying to get it done for PNG. 

I will also take full responsibility if the intended outcome is not achieved. 

Thank you

BRIEF HISTORY OF SIR IGNATIUS KILAGE - THE FIRST PRIEST

Image
Young men who went to school in the early times went on to become important people.   Kulkane man, Ignatius Kilage, was the first man from the highlands to be ordained a priest in 1968 and later he was to become one of the most distinguished statesmen in Papua New Guinea. As the day of his ordination approached, Ignatius especially chose the date December 17th 1968 in memory of the burial date of Father Karl Morschheuser. THE FIRST PRIEST - SIR IGNATIUS KILAGE By: Mathias Kin -  PNG History, Facts & Ideas. This is a story of one the most important and iconic figures of Simbu captured in our history book "MY CHIMBU".  The detailed life story of Sir Ignatius here is as told to me by the late Lady Regina Kilage sometime in 2006 at the Mt Wilhelm Hotel in Kundiawa.  The photo of him here is a 1987 election campaign picture when he contested for the Simbu Regional Seat under the National Party.  That was a year after Sir Iambakey Okuk had died.
