CURRENT NEWS PNG: OPPOSITION AGAINST CHANGES TO CLIMATE CHANGE ACT

OPPOSITION AGAINST CHANGES TO CLIMATE CHANGE ACT: 

The Opposition Leader, Joseph Lelang, has opposed the Government’s decision to amend the country’s Climate Change Act, saying that the changes are not suitable for the country.

OPPOSITION AGAINST CHANGES TO CLIMATE CHANGE ACT: The Opposition Leader, Joseph Lelang, has opposed the Government’s decision to amend the country’s Climate Change Act, saying that the changes are not suitable for the country.


Mr. Lelang said amending sections 38 and 39 of the Act to impose a levy or tax on fuel and carbon-content products coming into the country will definitely create worse problems for the people. He said inflation will kill off the small sectors; in fact, many have now closed their doors.


Lelang said the importance of Climate Change and its effects cannot be denied, citing the affected marine provinces and parts of the highlands; however, the context of the bill is not suited to Papua New Guinea (PNG) and its people.

The Opposition Leader said the Amendment applies to countries under Annex 1, and under this category are countries that are the major polluters in the environment.

That is why Lelang said that these amendments are not appropriate for PNG because PNG is home to the third largest rainforest in the world and produces nil green gas emissions and isn’t included in the Annex 1 group. http://dlvr.it/SxKSvR

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.

Nations have taken centuries to develop. We've barely made a start but that's not an excuse. We can do better. Firstly, we thank God for a beautiful country that is so full of promise. I also thank him for this opportunity to serve His people in this very important social sector. I thank the good Prime Minister Hon James Marape and his Pangu Party for gracing me with this opportunity. No nation in the world has conquered health and its issues.
