Court fight looms

Main Stories
Former Prime Minister Peter O’Neill
“We all know that this highly-politicised case has been influenced and pushed by dark and shadowy figures behind the scenes wanting to force an arrest.
As such, I have been charged for not following the procurement process.”
Prime Minister James Marape
“I will offer my statements as witness of the State, just like I am doing for the UBS loan saga.
I would like to inform the country that never will I use the office of PM to stop or encourage police from doing their constitutional duties.”

  • Haven’t seen anybody been arrested so far. Its just a smoke scene for the public to read and satisfy themselves.

  • When in power, people look at every loop hole in the book to to avoid jail time. Only time do tell in the end.
    If former member for Pomio under similar circumstances was jailed, then member for Pangia Ialibu should also go through the same process. I do not think it is politically motivated. We have laws to follow and if we do not follow these laws then you have to answer to these same law. Every Papua New Guinean face the same law.

  • SPIDER WEBB kind of situation… You touch one and that one will preach about this/her innocence by pointing finger…. Kain blo ol LIDAS….

    Let’s WAIT AND SEE WHETHER JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED OR NOT….

  • Both PMs current and former should do the talking in the court-room…not in news-medias.

    If nothing wrong happened, then prove it in court!!

    Ol vilis kot magistret tu save pinis long ol physical “sign” blong guilty…and they expect us believe what they say in the media….we will only take the versions from the courts….

    I would advise PMJM “noken bekim bekim ol toktok, larim ol toktok igo igo na toktok blong ol yet bai kotim ol”

  • PO provided services for the country where you are enjoying now. Former member for Pomio and magi long place diverted the money into their own personal account. They were changed on fraudulent. PO case is very clear and court will make a ruling.

  • We cannot jump into conclusion when there is a pending court process. Irrespective of the offences committed, a person is innocent until proven guilty by the competent court of justice. Let the law take its course and decide who is guilty and who is not. Lets see which one of them will have their defence on merit in court.

  • He can be guilty o not, what about that million kina, who will repay or how will country recoup it??? Please some clarification????

  • Dear Observer Nava your statement doesn’t make any sense at all,,,may be you must of those O’neill cronies that are fed on tax payers money.LAWS are given by our LORD and it differentiate what is right from wrong for people to abide by.You monies can’t rescue you from your wrong doings and always bear in mind that you hide from people around you but you can’t hide from our LORD who is watching you all these days using public monies to rebuilt your wealth and enjoy your luxuries for personal gain while majority of 8million plus population of PNG are struggling for their daily survival.Your actions remind me of Pomio MP Paul Tiensten and Mangi Lo Ples owner Mr.Ereman Wartovo.At the end of the day your final destination is BOMANA where you will rest and relax…….

  • Whether it be O’Niel or Marape they are leaders let us show some respect for them as leaders and let the Law deal with them. Also remainder to them enough of media gimics. Prove your inocence in the Court.

  • So now we are going to know and understand what’s being done who are those involve along with former PMPO and the former Finance Minister PMJM at the time for the two gensets and the USB 3 billion loan. If only the other arm of the government, the legislative arm exercise its power and set precedence for the future PM`s and political leaders to do everything right under the guidelines of our laws and acts for the benefit of our people and not the other way to use power to shove and by pass process and procedures in place to get things happen.

  • The only failures are; why purchasing these generators worth millions when there was no need, and why using Isralae company LR to purchase the generators when PNG can directly negotiate with suppliers in the US. PO must answer these questions and how the money was spent. the supplier of these generators will also be the witness on how much those generators cost.
