NEWS & EVENTS | PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE CONDUCTS FOLLOW UP INQUIRY ON 2027 ELECTION READINESS.

The Special Parliamentary Committee on General Elections has conducted a one day follow up inquiry into Papua New Guinea’s preparations for the 2027 National General Elections.

The inquiry focused on receiving updates from relevant stakeholders on the recommendations raised by the Committee during its earlier inquiry in February, particularly on the country’s overall election preparedness and security arrangements.

Appearing before the Committee were Police Commissioner David Manning, Commander of the PNG Defence Force Rear Admiral Philip Polewara, and First Assistant Secretary, Budgets, from the Department of Treasury, Mr Hans Margis.

The inquiry was led by Committee Chairman Hon. Allan Bird, MP, together with Deputy Chairman Hon. Sir Puka Temu, MP, and Hon. Keith Iduhu, MP.

Following the discussions, the Committee will continue its work with another follow up inquiry scheduled for 9 October, where the current stakeholders, together with other key agencies including Correctional Services and Finance, will be called upon to provide further updates and solutions to outstanding issues affecting preparations for next year’s General Elections.

The Committee remains committed to ensuring that the necessary preparations are undertaken early and that relevant agencies work together towards delivering a safe, peaceful and credible 2027 National General Election.

NEWS & EVENTS | NATIONAL MOCK YOUTH PARLIAMENT CONCLUDES DAY THREE

The 5th National Mock Youth Parliament (NMYP) concluded its third day of sessions today on a high note, as participants moved beyond theory and into the practical workings of Parliament.

Throughout the day, participants engaged in informative sessions facilitated by key institutions including the National Statistical Office, INDECO and UNDP. Building on this foundation, the National Parliament, through its Parliamentary Committees Division, delivered a hands-on session that gave participants a real experience of parliamentary committee processes.

This session became the highlight of the day, with participants assigned roles as committee members and heads of public offices, alongside representatives from NGOs and churches. The exercise simulated a live committee inquiry, allowing participants to conduct hearings and question witnesses on the issue of the legal retirement age of public servants.

From the National Parliament’s perspective, the exercise demonstrated the importance of committees in oversight, accountability and informed decision making. It also provided young participants with a clear understanding of how Parliament examines national issues through structured inquiry and dialogue.

Day three marked a key stage of preparation for the National Mock Youth Parliament Sitting scheduled for this Friday, where participants will formally apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the program.
