Transparency International Papua New Guinea (TIPNG) is calling on the Government to not use public funds to pay for political camps, such costs should be paid for by each member of the Coalition and doing otherwise would be an abuse of official powers. In a statement, TIPNG also calls on the Ombudsman Commission to issue a notice to all Government Departments during this time of political horse trading to remain neutral. Of particular importance will be the role of state lawyers to maintain the integrity of their office and to not take sides but provide impartial advice to the institutions of state and our parliamentarians.

Dear Members, Friends and Supporters,
We’ve hit the ground running this year, working towards our commitment to make PNG a fairer, more honest place.
We launched the results of the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index, with a strong call for that regular meetings of the National Anti Corruption Strategy Taskforce must be convened. The NACSTF is headed by the Departments of PM & NEC and the Justice & Attorney General.
Even though the riots of January 10 were a setback, they strengthened our resolve to continue to call for good governance and respect for Rule of Law by all citizens.
Also in this quarter, we farewelled our legal and communication interns, continued to engage with our members and participated in the 3rd Summit for Democracy in Seoul, South Korea.
Our Strategic Plan 2019 – 2023 ended last year. The wins were great but the opportunities to further our advocacy are even greater. As the team at TIPNG embark on the formation of our new Strategic Plan, we want to acknowledge your unwavering support towards our work.
This year, we will continue to work with key stakeholders to push for electoral reforms and advocate for the resourcing of integrity institutions to enable them to carry out their mandates.
As you read on the front page of this Newsletter, the Sir Anthony Siaguru Walk Against Corruption (SASWAC) will be happening on Sunday 16th June 2024 in Port Moresby and Lae. A number of organisations have already registered to participate and in-kind support is beginning to pick momentum.
