Sex scandal
By HARLYNE JOKU

THE Department of Foreign Affairs and Immigration will investigate claims that a certain PNG diplomat is alleged to be involved in a sex scandal, luring professional women and underage children into a PNG High Commission office abroad and sexually abusing them, it was alleged in Parliament on Friday.
The PNG Head of Mission is further alleged to have ordered a Papua New Guinean citizen in that country to be detained without charges for two years because of the officer’s knowledge of the diplomat’s immoral activities.
The officer is said to have collapsed in the detention centre due to lung failure and the Rotary Club in that country is taking care of him and monitoring his condition.
THIS was revealed in Parliament by the Member for Lagaiap-Porgera Philip Kikala during Question Time on Friday.
Mr Kikala said he had necessary correspondences from the president of the country’s national Rotary Club to confirm that the Head of Mission was involved in these activities.
Mr Kikala said the Head of Mission had directed the immigration commissioner of that country to have their police detain the Papua New Guinean.
“I am also reliably informed that several Members of Parliament, including the Secretary for Foreign Affairs and representatives of our major international development partners, are aware of the activities of the Head of Mission in that country,” Mr Kikala said.
He said heads of missions are ambassadors of the people of Papua New Guinea abroad and are supposed to uphold the pride and dignity of PNG and its government and people.
“Mr Speaker, when the issue of pornography and rape are indeed of bitter and awful taste, it is hard to believe that one of our many committed Papua New Guinea’s trusted people within the circles of heads of mission abroad is said to be promoting these satanic and evil activities in foreign countries which is a big disgrace to PNG,” Mr Kikala said.
He asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Sam Abal to investigate the matter and direct staff of that embassy to repatriate the PNG citizen whose health status is deteriorating.
Mr Abal said he was surprised by the allegations raised and was unable to make comments until a proper investigation is carried out.
He said if the investigations prove that the allegations are true, then they will take action on the Head of Mission.http://www.thenational.com.pg/040708/nation1.htm

Interesting! Call DC and find out

DC doesn't know anything as yet.. emails have been burning across the 5 continents seeking answers.. will keeps yous posted..

This is outrageous who ever this prick is he has pretty much done an excellent job in spoiling PNG's image in that country. Being a diplomat, and moreover a High Commissioner to another country demands that a person be of good standing in the community and of exceptional character to the people of PNG - NOTHING LESS. How the hell did this "monkey" end up with this responsibility? Disclose his identity to the people of PNG in the media and those/who was responsible for his posting. This is serious, for someone who puts his twisted fantasies ahead of his country and countrymen like that poor wantok in hospital, deserves to rot in a cell in that particular country. Sapos bigman lo hausik yia em dai, that would be icing on the cake, the ultimate betrayal to everything PNG stands for. Tok klia na tokaut lo husat displa man ya na bai yumi lukim em pastaim.

Why does one want to call DC to find out. What does DC have to do with that, How about the office of foreign affairs in PNG.

Newsflash!!! The porn star of a diplomat is the PNG High Commissioner to the Philippines. (Not the PNG Ambassador to the US)

The PNG Head of Mission to the Philippines is an Ambassador, not a High Commissioner. The Philippines is not a member of the Commonwealth.

This misconception aside, it's startingly to note the allegations asserted by Wantok.

If the allegations are true, I feel for the poor PNG guy locked up because of his knowledge of the Ambassador's indiscretion. Our Missions abroad also serve the purpose of providing consular assistance to our nationals, not locking them up.

Whether true or false, having the story splashed out on the front page of one of our national dailies is an international embarrassment. The Government must act quickly to resolve this matter.

Salim ass blong em go long ples kanaka blong em long PNG

It has come to pass that png now has to have a radical overhaul of the department of foreign affairs. equally, the appointment processes of overseas diplomats ought to be seriously undertaken. take it out of the whims of politicians (the nec) and let merit take its course. conversely this could involve investing in the higher level education system (tertiary institutions). i fully agree with anthony sil in his recent article to the National newspaper that diplomats should now be a crop of rigorously trained professionals, versed in their art of diplomacy and not out to mar the image of the country.over to you gabriel pepson...
