PNG PM James Marape rejects Australian judge for UBS inquiry
July 3 2019
Sydney | The new Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, James Marape, has rejected a push to have a senior Australian judge preside over an investigation into the UBS loan affair, raising concerns about its effectiveness.
Mr Marape late last month announced a Commission of Inquiry into the $1.2 billion borrowed by the Pacific nation from UBS, a move that could subject the Swiss bank's Sydney office and law firms Norton Rose and Ashurst to fresh scrutiny. - https://www.afr.com/

PM HON. JAMES MARAPE - Facebook Post
9 July 2019
Today is one of the saddest day of my life, many children and mothers innocently murdered in Munima and Karida villages of my electorate by Haguai, Liwi and OKiru gunmen.
My electorate in Hela Province hosts LNG and power transmission line for Porgera gold mine and since 2012 I have been requesting for more permanent Police yet Konedobu police headquarters has not supported me.
How can a province of 400,000 people function with policing law and order with under 60 policemen, and occasional operational military and police that does no more then band aid maintenance.
In memory of the innocent who continue to die at the hands of gun toting criminals, your time is up, before I had someone else to report to, now I have no one else to report to but the innocent you kill.
To all who have guns and kill and hide behind the mask of community, learn from what I will do to criminals who killed innocent people, I am not afraid to use strongest measures in law on you. Last week I responded to question on death penalty on the floor of parliament, it is already a law.
To Haguai , OKiru and Liwi, plus others in Tari who have been living off killing others, I am coming for you.

Hulukumaiya!
