FORMER Mendi MP Michael Nali was arrested in Port Moresby yesterday and charged with misappropriating K50,000 in public funds.
He was picked up by the police fraud squad and held at the Boroko cells before Maladinas Lawyers posted the K500 bail at 5pm.
He is expected to appear before the Waigani Committal Court this morning.
NCD/Central commander and assistant commissioner Tony Wagambie confirmed that Mr Nali, who was dismissed from office on April 29, was charged under the Criminal Code.
A leadership tribunal recommended his dismissal after finding him guilty of applying to his own use the K50,000 obtained from former Southern Highlands governor Anderson Agiru four years ago.
The tribunal found that he also applied to his own use K600,000 from the discretionary component of the district support grants for Mendi in 2001 and 2002.
It further said that there was strong evidence that “he did not only mismanage his discretionary funds but he was grossly reckless about how public money was used”.
Mr Nali was elected MP in 1992 and was in his third term when he was dismissed.
He has held various senior ministerial portfolios, was deputy prime minister and at various times, acting prime minister.

...The (Most) Worst Political leader in our History....
There is absolutely no leadership attributes in him, very laughing and shameful indeed for someone who climbed to acting Prime Ministership & holding senior portfolios stooping so low STEALING public monies ...he should be barred from paticipating in politics from rest of his life....
Wonder why lawyers trying to defend a thief and a primitive leader (from what grounds will he be defended?)
Frustrated...

There is no point in re-electing a man made millionire like him. I am planning to contest both by-election & 2007 and if he tries to contest; then he should tell the people of Mendi about the services he provided for Mendi Open electorate & the province. Otherwise be a businessman & quit politics.

Michael Nali has fallen from grace, thanks to juctice. he shall never rule again. The people of Mendi have suffered for so long under Nali. His glory days are gone. It remains part of Mendi Open history.
Forget about the past and focus on the future. Stop waisting precious time on a leader that has done literally nothing for Mendi.
Talk about the future guys.

Read what happened on the floor of Parliament after the 2002 elections.
It was the first Parliament session after the elections and it was question time as usual.
The subject of debate then was the Privatisation of PNGBC. Sir Mekere Morauta was the Opposition Leader at the time when Nali was the Minister for Lands and Physical Planning.
Michael Nali asked sir Mekere (And I quote). Why did you sell PNGBC instead of Air Niugini? My Nali was asking Sir Mekere why PNGBC was privatised because it was making profit and Air Niugini should have been privatised first.
Sir Mekere responded:
"r Nali, you should be with your tribesmen in Mendi. You should be in the village because that is where you will contribute meaningfully. Warlord like you should be up there in Mendi and not on the floor of Parliament. Michael Nali, we are talking about micro economics and Macro economics. We are not talking about metal fabrication"
Nali had no answer to Sir Mekere's answer. What do you guys think? Other Papua New Guineans think that there are no smart and educated leaders from Mendi Open. They think that every one is concerntrating on tribal fights and that no educated elites can be elected to Parliament. We have to elect somebody smart and educated in the next election. Micael Nali's glory days are gone. He ll never come back to parliament as the Member for Mendi. No body deserves credit for Nali's ousting. It was natural justice for his purgatos over the years. It was his own doing by depositing money into his personnal account. It was normal business for him but natural justice apprehended him. He spent some hours at Boroko cell....the hausman for criminals.
Nali's fall is vitory for the simple people of Mendi, those peace loving people. Atleast justice has done their favor.

Much being said but no body is prepard to come up with alternatives to address the common need in the electorate. All beng pesonal attact on the man. No body is immune from mistakes delibrate or not.At the end of the dy he is all a human being subject to all forms and kinds of shortfalls like the one he is going through. This does not necessarily mean that I support his actions, really I condemn the acts.
As a local I've watch this and other related issues in the electrate and the fact remains that more than one issue affected the electrate; one is related to lack of matured and responsible polictics and political leadership and the others are more culturaly enrouted. If the PUNWAIP NAISO has some sence of reasonableness, he should also equally blame the distruction of Mendi due to the tribal fight with the Tunsups which his tribe was heavily involved. Dont forget the huge firearms imported to mendi by the Punwaips and the Tunzups. Now your three tribal worriers are up at each others neck for who should be the next political candiadte for mendi open. Tell them not to waste their time, cos, its mordern politics and not tribal fights, compensations and many wifes after riping the provincial fiances.
The peace efforts by Francis Awesa and the two Bishops has never beng recorgnised or appreciated in one form or another.
Now, some alternatives. If you are corncen and I mean very corncen, than, 1] discourage warlords and people who have one way or another stolen monies from the people of SHP to be considered as a political candiadte. When they win they pay compensation with Government funds or reimbursh what they presume they spent plus 100% interest.2] like minded elites like yourselves cooperate and collaborate for the people of mendi and identify a individual with soud education qualifications, has sufficient international and local political knowledge and exposure, creditable public, family and private reputation, experienced in most or all walks of life (politices, public service, trade union, private sector and community life). 3] that individual(s) has to be very neutral with good standing in the community, good criminal record and is not a failed politician.
There some reputable and natual leaders from mendi around. Simply do an inventory and you will be suprise to see who and wh are around.
On the other hand, Mr. Nali should not waste peoples time and put the matter to rest because even if his appeal is succesful, he won't be able to see to the next election out mendi thate easy due to recent events in his own base cam.
over to you good thinking naikos and nongos.

The question posed by Naiko is the burning question in every good citizens of Mendi. The last judge refused to precide over the appeal for ovious reasons only known to the judge and Nali. Your guss is as good as mine. the police case was a paid-out case but the tribunal is a different kattle of fish. theres sufficient evidence to nail the man and the decission was only doing justice to the people of Mendi. mind you, even if Nali wins his appeaal Mendi is NO GO ZONE for Michale cause he put too many ****s in his family, so to speak. He will be member in absence in the electorate.
Old fox for the top job? Yes. Can't teach old dogs new tricks is the saying and its in the blood of many.People in the likes of Stephen, Herry, Joe, Masa, George are top on the list. popular and regular thieves and hooligans are added on the list. oustside horses with creditable reputation, reliable with national and international exposure and wide ranging experience in administration and management in public and private sector adequately educated and qualified I hear if any truth would give the old traditional boys a run for their money.

Observer, Thanks for your contribution. The political situation in Mendi is not good looking when tribesman and corruption goes hand in hand.
We must not mix politics with tribemen and corruption with supporters. Mendi must be free from such rule as it is a big problem now. I know that
people like Richard,Douglas, Die and such will make a difference. The people must learn lessions in the past and find solutions to move forward.
gething into power with those people who have already being in politics or associated with political jobs will ruin our electorate again.A fresh blood is need for the job.
For now, I wish and pray that people of mendi know what they need in their area and act accordingly by choosing the right candidate. The by-election may be held soon or maybe defred till 2007. Lets wait for the court result..
You guys out there.. have a happy weekend..

Becoming a leader is not a privilege, it is a (sturdy leadership) challenge one will have to demonstrate with visible thinking. Someone who is decesive and firm in decision making not to compromise with gun-purchase and lawlessness. Someone who will turn Mendi from ghost town to a promising lucrative investment hub given the abundance mineral deposits. Mendi need an obstinate and a determined Open MP who will without fear and favour say no to guns and crack down on rape, robbery and holdups etc; the bottleneck obstacles to development.
Rise in Warlords is the direct consequence of consecutive failure in leadership. A leader who has deliberately turned away from the very people who chose him to represent them in Waigani, has chosen poverty from social welbeing (for his people) and should not be mandated again. A determined and resolute leader is submerged with gun threats, complusion, intimidation and bullying vote-buying tactics. Mendi need that determined character! Only than better services, improved social lifestyle, law and order, (you name it), will be homingcoming.
WE only hope Mendi will return to its former glory days!

For the better or worse, brain storming is the strategy here and naiko sounds more like a atraditional upper-mendi but needles of that, your input appreciated. Like I said, we the educated elits have put our people and electorate backwards. We live and operate in exile from our people and problems and fail to effectively participate in important events like the elections. Often we pretend to be important and sees elections as non essential in our professional lives but only to compalint in the pubs and evenues outside our very own people and village.
good thinking and like minded mendians should use evenues such as this web site to brainstorm without favor or fear for the good of our people and home.
Stephen Mendepo is suing the state for 60 million kina for problems he was a party to in distroying better part of mendi and its citizens. Rumors are he will bring peace with the big bucks and people must vote him. My gut felling is that the people of Mendi by tribe or family, the public servants, people who lost thier lives not from tribal fights but due to lack of medical services, school children etc should sue Stephen Mendepo for the distructions of services and livelihood of mankind. The rest of us suffered, he and his people desrve to be destint. what a artifisal leader
Will be interesting to note more names and if possible what change they stand in term of support. The comments by bishop provides the guide.

You sound cool and fresh from the murumbu river coz Awesa was rejected by his very own Mendi people. He scored a commandable scroe of 68,0000. Had the Mendians had a scond though regarding themselves as the haus man people, the scores would have being alot better. I think he is happy where he is after paying his bills but who knows whats cooking in the elders mind. He's being through all walks of life including politices but the most nortable one was negotiating peace between unjamap and Wagia tribesman which at least brought some light into Mendi in the mist of the claim cooperation
Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
Awesa has made more money than any other Southern Highlander during the PDM era through questionable means via Global Construction but his involvement in solving the tribal warfare in Mendi is something we shouldn't forget. I think Awesa may be the only man for Mendi Open at the moment.
This is just an opinion from an outsider.
Keen observer
[Note: Francis Awesa is a hard working man but I think his son is a total disgrace - I don't think he is capable of walking his father's walk, and talking his father talk. I forgot what his name was but he is a disgrace].
Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
At least you agreed unreservingly that Awesa is the most prefered person for the SHP top job. Making money during PDM's rein was not a fluke or opportunity. He was at the right time doing the right thing. Money he eraned was well earned as the show peace roads in NCD. Quality jobs. comleting on time and within budget is the money making magic. Do not forget, he is the only person to date that paid his 9 million kina Tax to IRC, history. Did not get the money and went into hiding. every body thinks it was PDM's making but he and his company strugled fron humble village beginings to go this far. so far Global is the only fully nationally and privately (individually owned by F Awesa) that is all the mixrace or experiate companies. Do not forget, awesa is one of the founders of the National Aliance
He has more than one son, bespecific. Sounds like you two amy have some pub talks.
F Awesa to the best of my knowledge will make a good candiate and subsequenlty a good governor.

Your claims are yet to be proven to be accurate. But I do accept that Awesa has worked hard for his money but the big question remains if PDM had any involvement in some of his contracts through out PNG. I ain't sure of that at all. I could be wrong.
In terms of his son, I know of the one who basically achieved absolutely nothing after his schooling in New Zealand was all paid for privately (I guess) and the next time I saw him in POM was that he was dating a grown lady who I believe is a mother of 3 kids (also from SHP) about 3 years ago. After seeing what I have seen I believe he can never wear his father's shoes because it will be too big for him.
Francis Awesa though appears to be the only right choice for your Mendi Open at the moment.

good comment from observer, but as far as i know now, richard is happily married to a goroka lady. he is a survivor (like his old man) and still continues to make ends meet. carrying a household name like awesa is no easy task but richard has proven himself to his father. he is slowly grooming himself with support from family, esp the father, who has huge respect for him. alot of us see potentail in him and are keeping a close eye. the guy is humble and quiet. he's also coming good. he doesn't need to prove anything to anybody, except himself and his father. in case you didn't also know, richard was on scolarship to new zealand, not privately paid. get your facts straight, a real job and a life.

I did not think people would turn the tide from politican discussions to our-generation kids like Richard. I did final year at Unitech and Richard enrolled for first year, i found him shy-looking in appearance but a tide of crystal rappids lied below it. He once got drunk and smashed (using his fist) one of the outside fibergrasses of the Rose Kekedo Lecture Theatre (Japanese funded, the only best lecture hall in any learning institution). He trembled with unconsciousness on the lawn while alcohol-congested blood covered him.
He could have been teminated but negotiations are swards if one master the words; he paid for the replacement glass. That was years back, and other than this he was a nice guy!

Observor, because of your educated capability, you are able to commun on this net but you need courging cose you seem to be suffering from mental trumor phsycological force on the issue at point. The issue was Francis Awesa as an individual subject for candidateship and noting to do with his son or family for that matter. It just implicated that you have sored your total being watching this family at close range for reasons you know best. Get to the point and do not personalise or you could be a over jealous person.
I dislike people deviating from sensible and productive disscussion and oppinions than sietracking and personalising issues. So take your problem with Richard or whatever his name is to another evenue or start your web-site.
Dont know about your upbring but we all make mistakes in life. Mistakes are correcting yardsticks to redirect your path in life.Bishops comments as usual coming from an professional and what he/she said is only the true. Frankly the man has definately change so bury what you know of his past.
Francis awesa's credibility is not necessarily or subjected by Richards past life. So far I am happy for Richard and wish him the very best of the best in life.
Let me make this also very clear, murumbu nongo wants Francis Awesa to contest Mendi Open. Thats the least electorate he will think off as he is better natured for Regional or Imbongu seat. Mendi seat leave to some other persons, do you have another candiate for the Mendi seat as francis Awesa is not interested there, MMURUMBU NOGO?. yes, yu save, tokim mepela, what about your EEEEXXXXXXXFFF

If you like put you money on the above 2 seats, I'll do the same. Now the wild west electorate, MENDI, you just have to be in Mendi for an hour or less to hear names flocking when one or more get together. The last time I was in Mendi (3 wks ago) endless names were mentioned. off course some just wants to make some quick bucks to step aside, most for greed, some a political maniac and few for out of real concern for our sufering community.
Those i head included:
Stephen Mendepo

I also hear that the elit group are getting together and talking amoung themselves. Set strategies and indentify common grounds, the most common is fight the corrupt calim business, restore peace and normacy in society, revitalise all essential services and endure economic propestives. Those talking I hear are Nelson Yano, Anddy Akipi, Dei Kewanu, richard Lekep, Jack Mogopir and Ron Ank. Well, guys thats overdue and you've being around and have the knowledge and exposure. Put those toghts to good use and my suggestions to you guys is identify among yourselves and have only 2 or 3 to contest under your phylosopy. I don't necessarily support anyone of them but will if they get organised. My tostup would be for,"Nelson Yano, Anddy akipi and Dei Kewanu" to contest and the rest to support. One win is win for all as you have the same mento.

Do Mendi or Southern Highlands Province for that matter have a public forum on the Internet?
It would certainly help if one could come up with one (if there isn't one yet) and encourage sensible discussion. Though there are many avenues where such can be organised for those ordinary people out there but, I'd reckon for those intellectuals (working class and students) who have access to the net to use this medium to spur positive changes.
There's a bag full of issues that need serious discussion because from the way I see it (outsider's view), SHP has degenerated to very worrying levels. All indicators ( social, education, economic, health ....) for SHP are gloomy and less impressive. A situation not warranted during these opportunistic moments.
If there was ever a time for the citizens of beloved SHP to mobilize together and institute change and progress for the better, that time is right now.
It really buffles me to no end, when I see the province supposedly to be flushed with cash and developments of various proportions lurking left, right and centre are, sadly crying for development and its citizens floating aimlessly around like wondering jews all over PNG.

Murumbu gal I agree with you however I was a public servant (and long time supporter) around the time when Awesa was the 'premier', NOT 'governer' like you mentioned, and the man is certainly not like the others. During his time in office, law and order in the province was stable (at least not to the extreme mess it is in right now); there werent any 'free cheques' or "claims" given out then; public servants actually did work and not run around aimlessly like they are doin today. And by the way did you know the guy set up a halfway house for our troubled youths and donated, yes DONATED, his fortnightly pay to that halfway house??? I havent known of anybody who've donated their salary to a good cause like this. Unfortunatly with the new governer the halfway house at Magani had no fundings therefore closed down. There was stability then and the province prospered until the time of Dick, Anderson and not to mention Hami.
The days of Francis Pusal, Wiwa Korowi and Awesa are over but we hope these guys or someone like them might come back. Awesa is also a dedicated family man with ONLY one wife (something very rare for a highlander given his stature), and it is very appauling to hear what you said in your opening sentence. I hear he's not interested in politics anymore and is more focused in his buisness ventures but hey the guy's a wild card so we'll just wait n see.

It interests me as I read this column and it makes me wonder whether we need anymore leaders or should we lead ourselves. Yeah, thats right, we change our attitudes and our mentalities that revolve around prestige, arrogance, and greed.
For one thing, just because you are a successful business man/women doesn't make you are leader.
Note this: A leader is a person who serves his/her people to lead and the people respect that. He/She doesn't claim themselves as leaders but the people do.
For another, do we need some educated possibly tertiary education necessary to lead? Well this is half the requirement but, I find that many Southern Highlanders of this stature tend to be ignorant and that they tend to assume they know more than any other person. They think they are superhuman. Well above my ass-target uncle who is a good dad to my cousins.
By now I reckon you know where I am going. Perhaps, Southern Highland leadership is a whole new ball-game in which, the rich and selfish get into to boost their own egos.
Show me a good leader and I'll show you are liar. Don't believe in Southern Highland leaders anymore. I'd run a mile if I saw one.

i sit here and read all these commments from various commentators like murumbu gal and i think to myself.. are these people for real? The sad fact of the matter is SHP is in total shambles - politically and socially. If you haven't been to Mendi yet, please come soon. the point of matter right now is not about political alliances, who done better and who did this road or that road, etc.....the point of argument is who is most capable, experienced, and tough enough to be governor and to lead SHP forward.
From my humble home, i see that to be only Awesa and Agiru. What we need is decisive leadership, not clowns ruuning around with "claims" for doing nothing and thinking this is leadership.
please make sensible constructive commentary..not hide behind alias'. Becaues if you cannot make such comments, we are going no where. if we just keep on criticising and commentating, that's what we are, just commentators. Like it or not but what will we do as shighders to move our province forward.

Ip Kolopa naik exactly my point there bro. Our sister murumbu gal should go do abit of homework first before you start opening your mouth. One word of advice gal is next time you wanna put your two cents worth on dicussion like this, come up with some constructive critism and dont kill the whole discussion.
Mendi town has certainly gone from bad to worse. Young boys crowd the Magani market selling marijuana because thats the only way to earn a little bit of money. I was up there just recently and couldnt beleive what I was seeing. I heard rumours about the bank closing and Menduli closing too because there simply is no money circulating. All the money is spent in pom city or else where because the public servants are following their so called governer around the country and neglecting their responsibilities back home.
Best Buy has already packed up and left and to make matters worse the other shops around town have raised their prices making this even more difficult for the ordinary simple villager to buy a necessity.
So I am asking...WHERE IS THE GOVERNER when all these is happening to his people????
Any Hami supporters out there please answer this simple question?

There won't be any by-election so sooner while the dismissed incumbent (Mr. Nali) is still challenging his dismissal thru court. I mean the same court that found him guilty 2 times and dismissed him on the third round of symmetric guilt. He has fallen from political grace. Sad to note but, seems Mendi Open will be in oblivion to compensate for the 15 consecutive yet unproductive years!
For the remaining period (less than 2yrs) Mendis should comb all the hills and valleys, swamps and flat lands any village and hamlet forsaken to voice out a determined and visible thinking freshman as a MP come 2007. Seek divine wisdom, Gods omnipotence is a promised gift to assist mankind.

Now is time for us to forget about briberies and look for a man who can bring services to our district and who can lead us. CAN YOU SEE THE STATE MENDI IS IN RIGHT NOW? It's time for us to get our heads together and look at the intending candidats more carefully.I support the Murumbu gal on her point about looking out for young leaders. Lets look for someone who has a good background, good leadership quality, someone who is open and most of all, someone who is a god fearing man.A leader who has all these qualities will make a change in our electorate.In my obsevation of all these intending candidates, my tip will be Dei Kewanu.So people of Mendi, look for the right person who can make a big U turn in our electorate.
