Subject: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: Kandepen Opene [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tue, Mar 18 2008, 02:55:30pm It's interesting to note how Kandepen lawyer Alfred Manase has successfully defended his clients' cases at the Court of Disputed Returns (e.g. Wingti vs Olga -WHP Regional). Being one of the nation's top eloquent lawyers he has the potential to cause a lot of upsets. However, what about his own case with the Kandep MP Don Polye?? Has the case been withdrawn or won by the incumbent? (Maybe Chicko can inform us more on this matter.) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

This election petition court case is NOT JUSTIFIED. Instead lawyer Alfred is the real CULPRIT! He initiated all the election havoc in Kandep with an intention of causing Kandep a FAILED ELECETION which he did not succeed. This, he was merely used as a tool by other people like Governor Ipatas and Wingti to topple Polye but to no avail. Now he wants to try his luck in court with his liklik law save plus used by others that I know he will regret. He is falsifying so do not bet on this case. He should instead burry his head in shame because he has written himself off by his own criminal actions. For your infor.. Kandepian Wane [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Likewise you are entitled to your own opinion of who may be the CULPRIT! In this world the COURTS are given the power to judge or bring justice to the people. Whatever the outcome of the courts we must accept and move on. There is no point pre-empting anything in this forum. Cheers, Chicko [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: KLagaipT3 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Fri, Mar 28 2008, 05:28:38pm Fellow Engans This is disturbing as I believe these two high-profile leaders should work together rather than fight each other for the sake of Kandep. Again, I hope a peaceful resolution can be reached through mutual cooperation and consensus. If there is a legitimate case to be heard, then justice should rightfully take its place within the courtroom. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: Kandepian Wane (kiningii) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Fri, Mar 28 2008, 06:23:40pm Curious, Believe it or not this is what Alfred did. Him and his boys held up election officials carrying 8 ballot boxes containing about 8,000 ballot papers at his foreign village at Tinzipak. He did that after removing a access bridge that prevented vehicles from passing beyond this point. The security officials turned back from there letting only the election officials to carry ballot papers to the places of voting to conduct elections. On their way Alfred held up the officials at gun point and wrote everything to himself and Governor Ipatas. He pre planned this with powerful guns which the poor election officials surrendered everything to him. Prior to this he physically assulted two polling teams near Kandep Station on the way to his mothers home with boys loaded in his car which he did not succeed. He denied thousands of voters from exercising their democratic rights. As a result there was a big protest staged by people who missed out in front of the Kandep Council Chamber with mud covered all over their faces which was very sad. THIS ACTION IS PENDING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. The hijacked boxes were never allowed to be counted and are kept in Wabag Police Station as material evidence for possible prosecution. HE IS A CULPRIT! In all of these, he was personally involved and not only by his supporters. Is this what a so called an elogent lawyer should do? Now he is saying the election in Kandep has failed and by Polye. Don't know what he will do next under the sun. That is how he initiated all these election irregularities. For your infor.. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: TapuMalo [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Fri, Mar 28 2008, 07:58:11pm Fellows, I guess there is a thin difference between truth and justice and the courts administer justice to those who seek it but I don't think it can establish the real truth. It could get close enough but never really. The truth is only in the BIG BOOK. If Manase feels that he is being denied justice, then he has all the right to seek it through the courts. On the other hand, if Polye feels that he was justly elected then needn't worry. In the meantime, the Kandepens should bury their differences and work towards a better Kandep. We had a prosperous year last year and the results are made available to the people through the K10 million district allocation this year. I believe there will never be a time like this in the future. This is our time to act and to participate in district development and integration through involvement and inclusion. Anyway, as Chicko had rightly put that's just my opinion, you are entitled to yours. Daddy Bless [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: Kandepian Wane (Kiningii) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sat, Mar 29 2008, 06:31:30pm Ha!everyone, What is stated obove is hard fact encountered by election officials and all eye witnesses and not an accusation. That is why I say it is unfair to seek the courts opinion which could go either way. Even if there is a by election ordered for tomorrow, Polye will still win on the first count and this time with more votes than he did last time. That is again unfair and waste of time and resources for everyone of us except with Alfred Manase and Governor Ipatas who are nothing but very jealous. This is the bottom line.

The country noted Polye's victory with a lot of suspicion. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: Kandepian Wane [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sun, Mar 30 2008, 06:43:34pm SB, Because only 2 out of 8 boxes he hijacked were allowed to be counted. And the 2 boxes alone accounted for almost all the votes he scored in the whole of Kandep. BUT the main reason is Don Polye was the Deputy Prime Minister and acting PM and was a prime ministerial candidate at that time had Chief Somare quited and still today. Don't you think people of Kandep are stupid and blind to over look DON for someone like Alfred Manase or anybody else? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: A. Manase vs D. Polye Author: Kandepen Opene [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sun, Mar 30 2008, 08:16:54pm Kandepian Wane I heard a different story. Polye abused his status and NA Party resources at that time by hijacking most ballot boxes which were diverted to his 'akalyandas' where voting took place on behalf of the vast majority. The disciplined forces were bribed and hence his win was guaranteed. Sure, Manase might have done such a thing on a small scale but Polye took a mega-chunk from the cake of 'vote rigging' and 'corruption'. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Not at one stage did Polye order or orchestrate any thing to rig the election in Kandep. There may have been isolated instances of irregularities by individual supporters but Polye never got involved like Manase did himself, he did with a criminal intent. You would know what I am saying if you are a true Kandepian and was there yourself during the time of election. PAPA ANTAP TASOL SAVE HUSAIT EM ITOK TRU NA HUSAIT GIAMAN.

[> Subject: Court House_1 Author: Chicko [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Mon, Mar 31 2008, 04:57:25pm ‘Lawyers cause delays in petitions’ By JOSHUA ARLO KANDEP Open MP Don Polye’s lawyer was cautioned yesterday by National Court judge Justice Mark Sevua against filing affidavits surpassing the number of witnesses indicated to give evidence, saying most delays in petitions are caused by lawyers. Lawyer Paulus Dowa was told that he could not file extra affidavits and then seek leave of court to accept them as supporting evidence in this election petition. The court said this as earlier it was informed that Mr Polye had planned to have 50 witnesses. However his lawyer went ahead and filed 61 affidavits instead. Justice Sevua told Mr Dowa not to use the court as a “rubber stamp”. The petition was filed by Alfred Luke Manase against Mr Polye on allegations of malpractices. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Polye slams use of his name to cause problems Author: Chicko [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Fri, Apr 18 2008, 06:57:29pm Polye slams use of his name to cause problems By JAMES APA GUMUNO WORKS Minister and Kandep Open MP Don Poyle has urged his people not to use his name to cause problems regarding his election petition now before the court. Mr Polye, who is also the Minister for Civil Aviation, told his people in Mt Hagen that election petition is a normal process. He said a petitioner has constitutional rights to bring the matter to court when he is not happy with the election results. Mr Polye said the people should respect the court, the petitioner and himself and allow the judicial system to take its course. He said that his supporters should be mindful of that and maintain peace and harmony. Mr Polye urged supporters of both parties, petitioner Alfred Manase and himself, to maintain peace and harmony. He said supporters from both sides have nothing to do with the petition and they cannot take the law into their own hands. He strongly appealed to his supporters back in the district and some in the Western Highlands province not to cause any trouble using the election petition as an excuse. Mr Polye said people should learn to respect one another and look after infrastructure developments in the province. He said the people should accept the decision of the court as it is an independent body. Meanwhile, Mt Hagen National Court postponed the hearing on the submissions from the all parties whether there was enough to effect the outcome of the Kandep Open. Justice Gregory Lay urged all parties to return next week. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Court of Disputed Returns to go on full Trial Author: Chicko [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tue, Apr 29 2008, 05:57:03pm Off course, one of Don's strategy I observed is he tells his supporters & cohorts what they want to hear then what they need to hear. The recounting of ballot boxes was and is never part of Alfred Manase's petition, Don brought this up last week and the decision was made yesterday by the judge and it was thrown out. They have meet this morning again to set the date for full trial which is going to start tomorrow (Wed). I will update when further info becomes available. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

As I know they contain about 8,000 illegally marked ballot papers for Alfred Manase and one other which could definitely affect the result of election results. Apart from Alfred seeking to nulify the election victory of Don the same court will find out the criminal act of Alfred. Remember what goes around will come back and your own trap will catch you.

It's prejudice to sabotage anyone when the case is still in progress. Hopefully whoever is the culprit will be revealed and then you and I can draw our conclusions. At this stage, I hear your king don polye is fighting to keep his lawyer after he failed to strike off the petition case....so you should now start to believe that Alfred Manase has proven his capacities as a top election petition lawyer by denting king polye's ego cartel. At least one step forward for Alfred is 10 steps backward for your king. Cheers, [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

But the truth is that you bunch of rejected so called SAVEMAN from Kandep started hijacking ballot boxes with an intention of causing Kandep a failed election. Then few people may have reacted from what you started which the court will determine. My arguement all along is, you initiated all the problem and now you want to blame it on Don because you failed misserablly on your first attempt. I don't want a by election ordered for this matter but should it be ordered, see if you will score anything in Kandep again. This time Done will walk in almost unopposed. On this ground it is unnecessary and waste of time for everyone us because you are not serving the wish of the small people but being used by few individuals selfish reasons. I know about 95% of the people of Kandep are well behind their admired leader and where do you REJECTED guys fit in??? The world will prove again should a by election be somwhow ordered.....

NO NO NO!! If you are from Kandep and have been in Kandep during the polling Don had 90% support in all the boxes now being contested as being improperly or illegally cast or in your opinion "RIGGED". But it was all now losing candidates including yours who mobilised to disturb the voting process in entire Kandep. It was never Don or his supporters intention nor doing because he was having more than the absolute majority support in the entire Kandep Electorate except for Mambala and Kumbanda Wards where former Jimson Sauk and Michael Marabe comes from. That remains the HARD FACT and now you want to technically make it look as if it failed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

If you think your corn artist don pomb is free of any guilt regarding this matter, I must tell you that you have been deafened and blind folded by his lies. Remember, other contestants got less than the total number of their supporters. I believe other contestants also had thousands of people supporting them where they had influence over. The number of votes the others had proves to be strong evidence to me that your con artist was behind all these foul plays. If you are a Kandepen, you should think with a bigger picture instead of supporting one pathetic soul.

The people of Kandep have unanimously endorsed DON POMB POLYE as their KING which you can not withstand the might of his force. Even your own hauslain regarded you all as insignificants in terms of politics and will not reach heights like Don has. And he is not a con artist as Komai and others so wish he was but is the Leader of Kandep, Enga, Highlands and PNG and he is the next potential PM of PNG and not a tea boy like all of you would have become had you won. Remember, people of Kandep are very smart and intelligent who can make right decisions and not be fooled around by self centred blokes like you. That is why your own people rejected you all and you had to start hijacking boxes to safe your faces. Otherwise you would have scored almost nothing. Now you want to save face by going to courts and media and pretend you are someone. As long as Don lives people will fall and raise up with him and will not take heed of your cries. I must again inform this forum including Komai that Don will still win on primary counts should a by election be ordered from this court case. This tome will be by more than 90% of the total votes cast. Mi sori long yu. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

You have declared Kandepens to be smart people(I strongly support this point) and yes, we'll wait and see if Alfie Manase will confirm your statement; I think Alfie knows his way around in terms of the Law, though you may claim you are worshiping no one but you king polye.

Besides, it is not a wish for this or that to happen - we are discussing here for the good of Kandep as a whole. We'll see if your Don knows better than Alfie. If he wins, fine he can go on being the member for Kandep; but if it turns out to be the opposite, you and I shall know that he was doing something stupid that a deputy PM shouldn't be doing which is a disgrace to Kandep as a whole...

Remember the TRUTH always prevail and fools bow out in shame and vanish..... For now, shut up and anxiously wait for the outcome of the court case. By then you might have a point to talk.

As for the people of Kandep, Enga, Highlands and PNG will not be happy to see such thing happen again. By the way, it is only a rumour and will not take place as individuals like yourself wish.

Polye is still in full control of his Ministries and was never stripped! The news you heard and paper (sunday chronicles) chicko read must have played tricks to your ears and eyes and minds and your excitement must have short lived, now that Polye is still a Minister and with full responsibilities.

[> Subject: Polye trial begins Author: Chicko [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wed, Apr 30 2008, 11:58:04am Polye trial begins By JACOB POK (The National 30.04.08) THE trial of the petition challenging the election of Works, Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Don Polye as Kandep MP starts today. Last week the court found that there were grounds for this petition, filed by lawyer Alfred Manase, to go to trial. Yesterday, Mr Polye’s lawyers asked Justice Greg Lay to delay the case for two weeks so they could prepare themselves. But Paul Mawa, representing Mr Manase, objected to this, saying the trial should start in earnest. Mr Mawa said they have more than 100 witnesses to call and if the case was deferred, it would cost them a lot of money. Justice Lay agreed and set the matter down for this morning.The trial will commence on the allegation concerning eight disputed boxes. Although Mr Polye polled thousands of votes over his nearest rival, there were still claims of foul play. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: 1st day of trial Author: Kandepian Wane [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sun, May 04 2008, 08:44:06am Everyone, This is interestingly the other side of the story on the first day of trial? Petitioner denies hijacking boxes By JACOB POK THE petitioner challenging the election of Don Polye as Member for Kandep yesterday denied engaging his boys to hijack four ballot boxes during last year’s general elections. It was alleged Alfred Manase got his boys to block the road at Komutin village on July 3 last year to hijack the boxes, but Mr Manase denied it. Mr Manase, who was the runner-up in the election, is the first witness to stand with the petition now going to trial. Denying the allegation, he said he was at Tinjipa village when he heard about the hijack and he went to Komutin that night and asked the hijackers to release the boxes. He said they did release the boxes to polling officials and police, and the ballot boxes were in good condition. Mr Manase was also asked whether he had any knowledge about his supporters removing two bridges and a culvert on the road leading towards his village. He said he did not know or authorise such a thing. He said the two bridges and culvert were still intact when he crossed it on July 3. Mr Manase denied being armed with a bushknife and standing among people before polling day, although he conceded it was common for the Enga people in the villages to carry bush knives around. He told the court that on July 3 he and other candidates like Jimson Sauk and James Tumbin staged a protest at the Kandep district office after the names of presiding officers were released without any names of the other polling officials. He said when they demanded for the full list to be put out, the security personnel attacked Mr Tumbin. He claimed that many of Polye’s supporters were reserve police in police uniform and were escorting the ballot boxes. Mr Manase alleged that some of the reservists were teachers and locals and added he he was confused as to where they got their uniforms from. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Trial Continues: Polling disrupted at Kandep, says witness Author: Chicko [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Mon, May 19 2008, 12:51:58pm Polling disrupted at Kandep, says witness By JAMES APA GUMUNO THE trial of the election petition for Kandep Open continued last Friday, with a witness telling how polling was disrupted in a polling area. Lawyer for candidate Alfred Manase is challenging the election of Don Polye as MP for Kandep on grounds of alleged illegal practices. Witness Watali Mavi said election officials set up the polling area at Walupi 2 after midday and proceeded to carry out an awareness on the limited preferential voting system. Mr Mavi said polling started around 5pm and scrutineers were told to stay 30 metres away from the polling booth but they bunched up and were merely about four metres away. Mr Mavi said when Josephine Amuni’s name was called out she asked presiding officer Lily Cletus to mark the ballot paper on her behalf. He said Mrs Amuni told Mr Cletus to mark Vote 1 for Mr Manase, preference 2 for another candidate and preference 3 for Mr Polye. Instead, Mr Cletus marked preference 1 for Mr Polye and this upset the scrutineers who demanded to remove her, he said. Mr Mavi said when she refused, the srcutineers went in and grabbed the ballot box. The box was damaged in a tussle and supporters and polling officials ran off with ballot papers. He said there was no polling and he did not vote. Mr Mavi said he was surprised when news came from the vote counting room in Wabag that votes for Walupi 2 had been counted. Lawyer Ray William for the Electoral Commission asked Mr Mavi whether it was true that he was among the scrutineers who went in and pulled the ballot boxes and destroyed them. He admitted it. When Mr William asked whether he lodged a complaint with the assistant returning officer about the incident Mr Mavi said no. He asked Mr Mavi why he did not return the half unmarked ballot papers to the security personnel when they arrived at the scene 10 minutes later. Mr Mavi replied that polling officials were involved in foul play and he was reluctant to hand over the unmarked ballot papers to the security personnel. Mr William also put to Mr Mavi that the next day, July 4, a reserve ballot box # 75 was given along with 322 ballot papers for the polling at Walupi 2 and polling was conducted peacefully. But Mr Mavi insisted that there was no polling. The trial continues today. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
