From Emmanuel Silata on January riots in PNG: underlying causes, implications and the future
Great point Jane Mills. It's good to express our view from wealth of our experience. PNG is in a state profiling good and bad, there are numerous issues outline demanded solutions. I strongly believe that, if we are well fed and continue to be over spoon feed by colonizer, we won't have a colourful history. Our upcoming generation will be privilege to profile good and bad, know how to read between line and take this nation forward successfully because we gave them change to learn and create balance from our history moving forward.
From Lancelot Kamake on Uncertainty surrounds PNG’s local government elections
Inconsistency in the actual number of LLGs in the country shows lack of prominence given to our third tier system of government in respect to planning.
LLGs already lack financial autonomy and this is only an affirmation of the degree of recognition given to the LLG system.
From Livai Dugutara on Provincial revenue in PNG: inequitable, volatile and stagnant
Very informative giving the public a good understanding of Govt's revenue generation avenues. I think it's equally important to hold departmental heads (spenders) accountable. Provinces must be tasked to improve their internal revenue collection. They must create business entities and invest in major projects and business ventures for a good ROI.
From Zebedee Albert on Uncertainty surrounds PNG’s local government elections
I think the underlying problem that's causing all the hiccups when it comes to election, as well as budgeting and planning is the “Outdated Population Census.”

Hii John, thank you so much for reading my blog and giving a positive response as well. It will be a privilege to speak to your students; in one way or other we help each other for a better future to motivate, mentor or learn together.
From Charles Davidson Yariyari on Provincial revenue in PNG: inequitable, volatile and stagnant
I have been busy working on internal revenue raising opportunities provided by law for 2 LLGs in Oro Province. It is apparent in my view that manpower capacity shortfalls is a very serious problem with LLGs. This is further compounded by Provincial Governments who themselves fail to understand that they have internal revenue raising powers allowed under the Organic Law on Provincial and LLGs. The Department of Provincial Government Affairs has miserably failed the government in enabling the provinces via the OLLIPAC internal Provisions. But of course internal streams are occurring on provincial merits.
From Ireire Olewale on Cervical cancer prevention and treatment in PNG
We also need to start discussions on making the HPV vaccine available to women and girls throughout the country.
From Grace A Burua on Provincial revenue in PNG: inequitable, volatile and stagnant
Very insightful piece. Coupled with NEFC's Scorecard should invoke provinces to reassess their revenue raising capacities and options to generate aggressivly so that the most basic services can be internally supported when needed as deserved by the people. The provincial SEZs as an intervention should support Provincial revenue collection as well, if managed well.
From John Samar on Self-discovery through education
Cherubim. Your story is very motivating. I would like to invite you to speak to my 2nd year journalism students on the campus.
From Frank Tokin on Provincial revenue in PNG: inequitable, volatile and stagnant
very informative. Resource rich province's seems to be worse affected. need to revisit laws to give back what provinces deserve.
