TIPNG’s “ACCOUNTABILITY SCORECARD” uses publicly available information from the Report of the Auditor General Part IV*, of which 132 public bodies are recorded. Shockingly, from the list, eighty (80) public bodies had not submitted their 2022 financial statements to be audited, in addition to 183 financial statements for 2021 and prior years have not been submitted to the AGO for audit. This trend reflects a serious lack of financial management of public funds and represents a direct violation of the Public Finances (Management) Act 1995 (as amended), Section 47L provision on Reports and Financial Statements.

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.
