‘Corrupt contracts’:
The claims of a dubious deal in PNG that saw K2 million of public money go to a law firm without proper oversight (letter Southeast Asian Times, June 22) reminds me of an earlier one. We learn from a report in The Fiji Times (May 31) that PNG’s new PM James Marape, apart from his other grievances with the O’Neill government, has also been critical of “corrupt contracts” with Australia to settle asylum seekers on tropical island camps (Manus and Nauru) and has demanded an investigation. It would be of interesting to see what that investigation reveals when it’s undertaken. Who profited from the alleged corrupt contracts?
