National Housing Corporation

And it will achieve this through an initiative, by the Housing Minister, to set up a housing policy steering committee.

The committee held its first meeting on Wednesday, Oct 25.

The Housing Policy Steering Committee is made up of the National Housing Corporation and line agencies, including the Department of Lands and Physical Planning, Justice and Attorney General, Office of Urbanization and the National Research Institute, among other stakeholders.

A near full capacity crowd rocked up to the Rita Flynn Indoor Courts to watch the main game of the day, and were not disappointed.

It was a seesawing affair with both sides neck and neck for most of the match.

For NHC, they had PNG Pepers player, Jeperth Tulapi leading the charge, while NFA’s shooters in Kathreen Dimore and Stacy Haeremai proved they had plenty of points in them.

At half-time, NHC had their noses in front with the score at 14-8.

Mokono was responding to a comment on Loop PNG story by one Donald Asibo who claims that Dege’s resignation was planned and Mokono had a part to play in that plan.

However, a frustrated Mokono told Loop PNG that Asibo’s claims were full of ‘rubbish’ and lack evidence.

“For him to publicly state that I have a personal link with J. Dege is utter trash and I don't eat out of the same plate with him.

“Wild allegations such as his will tarnish our reputation forever,” Mokono said.

Interim Chairman of the board of the NHC Henry Mokono told Loop PNG that the board has accepted Dege’s resignation.

“My board met in August in Lae and accepted his resignation as the acting MD of the NHC.

“His resignation will lapse on the 20th October, and thereafter, will relinquish his position,” Mokono said.

Madeline Paulisbo, was facing allegations of misappropriation, official corruption and abuse of office in her capacity as the Acting Assets General Manager of Property Management.

Magistrate Cosmas Bidar in his ruling this morning cleared Paulisbo off all those charges after the court found insufficient evidence.

It was alleged she dishonestly applied to the use of others a property under the name of the late Sir Joseph Nombri between May 6, 2008 and February 19, 2009. Sir Joseph Nombri was the tenant of the property.
