Inquiry

A commission of inquiry into the Vanuatu National Provident Fund was launched last year and its final report was recently leaked on line.

The newspaper the Vanuatu Daily Post has published an overview of these findings.

Several people are implicated in the report but some of this content is potentially defamatory.

The commission found that the fund had been poorly managed and suffered from interference from a board unqualified and ill-suited to the task.

In a statement, the UN said: “We are deeply concerned about the unrest in Papua New Guinea, and particularly the events of Wednesday, June 8, when police opened fire at student protestors who were preparing to march to Parliament in Port Moresby, injuring a number of students, some of whom remain hospitalised.

“We are aware that the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary’s Commissioner has announced an inquiry into the incident.
