Tkatchenko: Signature on state lease forged, not mine

National

FORMER Lands and Physical Planning Minister Justin Tkatchenko says it is not his signature on the State lease awarded to Konda Lane Properties Ltd for allotment 23, section 416 (Gerehu), Hohola in Port Moresby.
Tkatchenko told The National that his signature had been “forged” and that “there is no common seal”.
“The document has been forged and it is not my writing, I never issued this title and it doesn’t have my stamp,” he said.
The lease under Section 92 of the Land Act 1996 is for a period of 99 years and was issued on July 7, 2018 to July 5, 2117, the lease was a business lease for business (commercial) purposes.
It was dated Oct 8, 2018.
NCD/Central Commander ACP Anthony Wagambie Jr stated that the legality of the land title to a recreational area was brought to light when residents at Gerehu Stage 3B stood up in protest over how a land title could be issued to a recreational area.
Thus, he had ordered for police to stand down while the legality of the land title was determined.

  • Just arrest the culprits and charge them for fraud and falsification of documents. Arrest the Lands officer who colluded with the culprits. The RPNGC should have checked the validity of the license/permit before engaging. Too much of land grabbing going un-noticed.

  • Department of lands have many crook people in there, they won’t do there work with true and honest sprit they will do your work if you give them side money. Are they paid or not? look’s like they are double dipping from us simple tax payers, who will one day clean this office, please help us we are not china we are real PNG and should be served better than the CHINA

  • I appeal to all residents to contribute and support our leaders who speaking up. That is our rec area and our children will continue to use. we will not go anyway. Gerehu 3B is our home, our village and die and Gerehu 3B.

    To the owner of Konda Lane, God is watching your deals and how you are conducting your business.

  • Shame on you Justin and your boys and girls at lands responsible with the company mentioned.
    such dealings will not go unchallenged!

  • Too Good you are!!!.. one of the corrupt gang member on PO last ship.
    Once a crook will always be a crook, you have tasted that sweetness already and you will always go around looking a chance to make quick buck.
    All Our government departments are cover covered with greed and corrupt middle management people.
    The all lot of them need to be changed and do it fast other wise , we just sell PNG away and live as spectators..

  • There are few recreational allotments that have been allocated to greedy pigs by crooked lands officers in NCD. I know of one at Ensisi and this one at Gerehu Stage 3B mentioned above. There are few others in NCD that the city authority and lands department need to check out and cancel the illegal titles and restored back to their status as recreational areas for residents of those suburban zones!

  • PO or JT has nothing to do with this corrupt public servants in lands department. Those people who deal with lands departments crooked public servants be careful because you could end up loosing your money to this kind of rotten public servants. No wonder I have seen many of those people in lands department playing poker machine with K100 kina bundles doubling 3 -5 machines at a time.

  • JT is not involved here, JT support recreational activities, I doubt he’d what to sell that park, its the Lands Officers involved, investigate and charge someone for the crime done, someone needs to go to prison!
