with them. He’s a missionary, and like they say, you can’t leave missionaries alone, he makesmoney, and the politicians can come under a missionary then. He’s a very nice person, yes….hehas a lot <strong>of</strong> relations with the local people. …the timber thing is …what the government istrying to do is to stand in for the people represent the people to financiers, and what we want todo is let the resource owners deal directly with the financiers, and let the government stand backfor monitoring and that sort <strong>of</strong> thing, not to control this too much. I was directly involved withgetting rid <strong>of</strong> the WongWong people, because when I was in govt we got rid <strong>of</strong> them becausewhat they were doing was they were paying for the whole log, the whole log, about 60 to 100kina, and when they go back they make about 3-6000 kina per log. So I told them to piss <strong>of</strong>f.And its up to the resource owners to find out and know what is really happening….the WongWong people have a lot <strong>of</strong> debts here, credit here, for the logs and everything here. (they’re nowtelling the people to wait for them to sell the logs before they can be paid)…that’s what theytried to do last year with the limestone mining up in the Boikin area. <strong>The</strong>re is a very rich deposit<strong>of</strong> limestone in Hawain all the way to Boikin, and these people tried to come in and they saidno, no, we’ll go in with all our equipment and all our equipment, well bring graders, dozers,everything, well go in and well pay you later, and they never did.…I was directly involved withthis I have connections with the landowners there, and we told them to get out, this is not theway to do <strong>business</strong>…well I heard rumors that [the one who did get paid] is not a landowner nota resource owner from that area. …Hugo is involved with a lot <strong>of</strong> things like bringing people inwithout work permits. In fact, they’re dealing with this right now, as <strong>of</strong> today, they’re drawingup a letter for him to pay up a fine because two <strong>of</strong> his expatriate workers are working withoutwork permits for 5 months now, overstaying by about 5 months... really he should be deported,but you because he is working with these people, these people should know better…they shouldfeel ashamed…you say you’re clean and you mix around with crooks like that—you are notclean. Like these two, with Sepik sea projects and the Windjammer, they are the people’s pridethere for the people <strong>of</strong> the East Sepik, and now they’re being used for the fun <strong>of</strong> some people, totake money out <strong>of</strong>…the loinery was supposed to be a Kolan, near the mouth <strong>of</strong> the Hawainriver, out there. …they moved it, and it shouldn’t be there. <strong>The</strong> wisdom <strong>of</strong> the project was tobring infrastructure to those people out there, roads, and spin <strong>of</strong>f <strong>business</strong>es and preferentialhiring, this was the deal. but then because these people threatened to withdraw, the province just<strong>of</strong>fered them this other site. Yes, the company was saying its going to be expensive to get itdone, and they wanted savings, and this is why they moved it. <strong>The</strong>y did not <strong>of</strong>fer anything inspin<strong>of</strong>f <strong>business</strong> at all for this, nothing. Its politics you know. Arthur should have been with thepeople and the kick<strong>of</strong>fs, but in this case it’s the company that is benefiting more than thepeople. <strong>The</strong>y really missed out, the company really benefited a lot on this exercise. I mean, theyhad given the contract for the building <strong>of</strong> the factory to..uh, Heydridge..and they weresubcontracting to SBA, I mean someone went over and took a photograph and sent it to theombudsman commission was sent a photograph <strong>of</strong> the sign at the factory that said it all—contractor, subcontractor, everything , so the ombudsman went over and did their owninvestigation. So what they did was they took the sign down, and they put a up a sign that saidRichard Cowley (?) engineering—he’s the chicken feed man, the one who has the contract withcatering. <strong>The</strong> chicken man, So they came in and used his name as a front and gave him thischicken <strong>business</strong> in return. ..they used his name…he’s not experienced, just because they usedhis name to cover up their contract…they did the same thing with the Mobil station, the oldMobil station—closed now. What happened was the old owners, they uh…SBA was forbiddento take any more Ausaid projects, they were forbidden from accepting any more contracts,because they had taken too many and not completed them. So the <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> rural developmentbanned them from new contracts. But then the road contract to going to Timbunke, to upgradethe road, and this was supposed to be done in the name <strong>of</strong> the two men who owned the moilstation, and it was supposed to be completed in three months, but they finished it in a fewweeks, just grading it, that’s all. Not all the way through. So they got 150 million (?) for that.128
And as soon as they’d finished the ORD started investigating and they found that they askedthese gentlemen whose equipment this was grading the road, and one <strong>of</strong> these men is a churchgoer, so he told them SBA, he told them, and they cut him <strong>of</strong>f. So now he’s bankrupt and hasn’tgot the money to run his station, and SBA has the money. Same with the new courthouse,supposed to be at Kreer heights, its all overgrown now. <strong>The</strong> man who got the contract had noequipment, so who did he subcontract but SBA, and so when the ORD found that out again, sonow, they’ve stopped it and nothings happening. …<strong>The</strong> Offshore Masters is going to be a realcannery, tuna, and they’re Thai and Malaysian , and what they do is they’re being given thedeed to the land, given what these companies will do is the old gov stoa is to be redone andthey’ll change the whole thing into a new government complex. That’s the deal. …theprovincial government is an investor then, but then others too, Sir Hugo in behalf <strong>of</strong> someoneelse <strong>of</strong> course, he’s definitely representing someone and they can give the deed away, they cando that, and he should know they cannot treat people like that…the cannery will be evenworse...the smell… FDC that is Taiwanese…the uh the waste....the contract was about buildinga pipe out to the sea, not to use boats…they would use pipes.Petrus Sagom, Prime Minister’s Project OfficerMr Petrus Sagom is an experienced Fisheries Officer with the department <strong>of</strong> Livestock andAgriculture. Since June 2004, he is now employed as Prime Misters’ Project Officer in Wewak.He is attached to the Prime Ministers’ Department.Speaking <strong>of</strong> some major physical and infrastructure developments in the province:• Turubu Road project – the National Government funded K100 000 for its feasibilitystudy• Yawasaro Road Project – its also counter-funded by the government and should beginsoon.• Yawasoro the <strong>SST</strong>C plant was originally planned to be built there but logisticalproblems are more and have to bring it closer to the wharf. If they have to build the factory atYawasoro they have consider many things like wharf, transportation etc. Also they have somelandowner issues still outstanding so they moved to the present location. <strong>The</strong> company wantedto dealt with the government then to be involved in landownership issues do they just leased theland for the PNG Harbors Board. At Yawasoro there are many owners to the land and made theissues complicated.• At the present site – there is still dispute. <strong>The</strong> principle landowners are from KairuruIsland whose half family are at people are the Meni village. But the people <strong>of</strong> Kreer also claimownership to the land so again there are still complicated issues. <strong>The</strong> government did not needask them because this crown land.• <strong>The</strong> Extension <strong>of</strong> the Wewak Airport – the National and the Provincial Government areplanning to expand the size <strong>of</strong> the airport to international standard size. This will mean the CISwill be moved to some where we still looking for a suitable place to relocate the CIS.ES Province will experience some major developments project such as the <strong>SST</strong>C and others stillin the pipeline and other agricultural such as the Cocoa Project in Angoram and mineralexplorations such as Freda Mining. We will have a busy wharf but we also need toaccommodate many flights in and out and especially some direct flights from overseas. We129
