Can’t believe how they accumulated Thier wealth and status this fast, especially, when they are all politicians.
Became rich from the political corruption that’s PNG is in KO’s..
The secret to become a wealthiest person in Papua New Guinea is to become a politician and be the Prime Minister.
I doubt that this holds any credible background and supporting facts. This record can be best termed as ” The 10 Richest Politicians in Papua New Guinea”.
If the secret of becoming a wealthiest person in PNG is become a politician, than why the longest serving politician, our founding father, Late Sir Micheal Somare is not in this group?
Very true my brother 🙏
Very sad thing for Papua New Guinea
Shameful for politicians too become richest in the country
I doubt that…it’s Paias Wingti..see the fact don’t just say it on the other side of it.
Politicians becoming overnight millionaires by amassing fortunes through corruption and bribery for their own personal aggrandizement.Its not hard earned wealth accumulated by sweat and hardwork but by fraudulent means.
