JTs statement is not the real issue here people...Let's talk about the 31 delegates and their travel cost to London please..

[waveofmotion]

His daughter misused public taxpayers funds. He should resign from public office.

[Auki_]

Blackout in Parliament should be enough to reflect our current government.

[samuellaro]

Prime Minister Cannot loose his numbers to remain in power, even if it means to forego people's interest😢😢😢

[daezdaez]

Tolerate even to abuse of personal self? Marape longlong pinis

[TSG]

I think PM is concern about numbers...not peoples request. "rausim JT"

[seanmui]

And does the Obudsman Commission still exist?

[rabunaflevi]

PM do not collude with Act of Treason against the State by JT...JT must not be paid as State Minister....OC DISMISS THIS PERSON!!!

[seanmui]

If this government can sweep the UBS Loan COI under the carpet what is this JT comments??😅😅

[koiwama]

The real issue that shouldn't be swept under the carpet is why on earth did he allowed his daughter to travel with him on Tax Payers money.
She doesn't work for PNG Government nor is she a diplomat or a bureaucrat. He violated the constitution and he should be held accountable to that before the Leadership Tribunal.

Ol kekeman ya... PM JM na JT ba sut as

[reckdanagi]

PM SHOULD NOT DEFEND JUSTIN TACHENKO IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. JUSTIN HAD SINNED AND NEEDS ABSOLUTE CHARGES AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PNG POLITICS.

[richardame]

Why is JT sitting there with the animals and primitives, rausim m ya, PM it's a slap on your face.

[emilthaddeus]

He deserved to leave. PM JM you should stand your grounds for this country. Better you out also.. You cannot stand for the out cry of this nation.. Too many empty promises also by you..

[cletusnigints-lorq]

That racist 's apologies are not accepted. Resign from parliament and leave PNG.

[robertboman]

Prime Minister has stood behind JT. Whose is he representing? Is it the people of this country or himself ?

[jessyy]

Exactly PMJM, who you are as a person and what you think will surface in moments like this. Rausim JT.

[ampix]

How can you as the PM of this nation defend a public statement made by a sitting MP, a migrant, in public. Foreign media also noted this blunder and yet we forgive as a christian nation. 😂

[henrykopaol]

JT is an elected leader and occupies a seat in Parliament voted in by the people and for people to represent Moresby South. He should only be questioned and criticised as a Minister who is wronged and must be held accountable for his words not his citizenship status or skin colour! Enough of the double standard racism just because he is white, when we a have white player who play for Kumuls the whole nation doesn’t care if the player knows Tok Pisin or not you guys support them regardless! In this case criticise him as a Papua New Guinean not a White Man!! I’m black btw not white😅
