6 | P a g e Introduction The Open Parliament Project was established primarily with the following in mind.

Firstly, to allow the public to have access to information about parliamentary process, its functions and proceedings and second to encourage Members of Parliament to share information about themselves and the work they do with their constituents.
Thus enabling the constituents to better understand the roles and responsibilities of their elected representatives- Members of Parliament to achieve the fundamental goal to build the integrity of the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea and enhance its legislative, accountability and representative functions.

In December 2012 an MOU was signed between all the stakeholders of the project; Office of the Speaker of Parliament, Transparency International PNG Inc. (TIPNG) and European Union (EU).
Under the MOU, TIPNG is required to build a database of information on the Parliament and Members of Parliament to be accessed through a website, SMS Plat form and Annual Report, radio and newspaper.

Hence fulfils the fundamental activity of the project which is gathering and dissemination of parliament information therefore empowers the citizens to actively engage in a parliamentary democracy whilst enhancing the roles of Parliament and its members.
Furthermore, the Open Parliament Project directly supports the Speaker’s vision to “restore, reform and modernize” parliament.
In line with the objectives of the project, in this report you will find information on: (a) The work of Members of Parliament through the chamber activities; (b) The functions of Parliament including the work of committees; (c) Members of Parliament contact information (d) Members of Parliament political parties and contact information The activities in this report cover the period between August 2013 and August 2014.

We hope you will find this report informative.

8 | P a g e Message from the Speaker of National Parliament I would like to commend the efforts of the project team for sustaining the Open Parliament Project now into its third year of operation.
When the project was launched in 2012, it was all with the good intention of bringing parliament to the people.

This initiative was undertaken to open this sacred institution through the website and SMS to the very people who had chosen their elected representatives and now want to know what they are doing for them on the floor of Parliament and how they can be able to benefit.
To restore, reform and modernize Parliament-the legislature and its bureaucratic support unit-is a vision I initiated to rescue the institution from further deterioration into the abyss of moral decay, abuse of processes and systematic corruption, to name a few.

I am glad to say that I am satisfied that the Open Parliament Project has achieved to some extent what it was set up to do.

The statistics on number of hits on the Parliament website and its SMS platform is testimony to that fact.
However, I do believe that we can only grow from this point onwards.

We need to upload more information on the work of members and Parliament through the very participation of members themselves.
It is through this we will be able to rebuild the integrity of this great and high esteemed institution and enhance the role of parliamentarians as law makers, accountability agents, and the people’s representatives, through information dissemination and citizens engagement in the Parliamentary Democratic Process.
Members of Parliament need to embrace this initiative in the spirit of transparency by sharing information with the public about themselves and the work they are doing both as an electorate MP and as a Parliamentarian.

As the project period draws near to an end, I would like to commend our project partners – the European Union and Transparency International PNG for seeing us through the initial stages of the Open Parliament Project through funding and dedication shown by their staff.
Staffs of the Parliamentary Service have gained considerable strength and good advice whilst working with your staff on this project.

We will draw from that strength and advice as we prepare ourselves to take full ownership of the Open Parliament Project.

Theo Zurenouc, MP Speaker of National Parliament and Member for Finschhafen 9 | P a g e Message from European Union Ambassador to Papua New Guinea A transparent and effectively operating Parliament is at the core of any vibrant democracy that delivers for its citizens and country.

Connecting Members of Parliament and their work closely with their respective constituents is key for democratic progress and success.
The Open Parliament Project seeks to support Parliament in its endeavors in this regard.

It is designed to strengthen true democracy and promote development, for a better future for Papua New Guinea and its citizens.

The European Union is therefore delighted to support the Open Parliament initiative that results from a partnership between Transparency International (PNG) and the Office of the Speaker of the National Parliament to make Parliament more open, transparent and accessible to the people.
The people of Papua New Guinea have already taken a keen interest to know more about the work of their representatives.

The project creates an opportunity for them in this respect while it is at the same time a most convenient tool for Members of Parliament to reach out to their constituencies and let them know about their views and work.
This Second Annual Parliament Performance Report (August 2013 – August 2014) is part of the Open Parliament Project and serves to inform about the work and progress made by Parliament.

I am confident it will be a very useful document for all citizens to know more about the National Parliament of Papua New Guinea.
Martin Dihm Ambassador Delegation of the European Union to Papua New Guinea 10 | P a g e Foreword from the Chairman of Transparency International (PNG) When the Papua New Guinea Open Parliament Project was launched in 5th December 2012 we saw it as a unique opportunity to assist the people of PNG understand the work of Parliament and the efforts of elected leaders to represent national interests.
When an elected official speaks on the floor of Parliament he or she speaks to other members and also to the electors.

With an open Parliament electors, teachers, scholars and policy makers are able to know what was said, what was written and what visions are being pursued.

When people have knowledge they are better placed to be able to help or offer advice.

This in turn can strengthen the efforts of elected representatives.
Although not everyone in the community might need to access the information available to them in the Parliament the Speaker has made information available to all who seek it.

The impact is already impressive.

There have been over 16,000 messages received by the Open Parliament mobile phone based SMS facility, on average over 700 people monthly asking for very basic information about Members of Parliament.
Until this service became available people depended on word of mouth, personal encounters or media reports.

There have been more than 2400 visits to the PNG Parliament's homepage from within PNG and global.

The frequency and number of visits is an encouraging confirmation that the Parliament is again becoming accessible to our people; with the added benefit of being accessible from anywhere in PNG Internet connections are possible.
In recent times this means that million people can visit the National Parliament and, either personally or with the help of literate wantoks learn more about issues which concern them.

We are confident that, as the homepage improves and more people become aware of its value, we will see a growing rate of visits.

We also found that people in 163 other countries have visited the Parliament's homepage.
There were 4,464 electronic visits with the next highest numbers of visits being from Australia, India, USA and UK.

When the government of a country becomes more open and transparent the international perceptions about that country can improve.

Facts replace theories.

Reality replaces ignorance.

Freedom of information helps countries move from the darkness of isolation to the liberating experience of sharing values and learning internationally.
An open PNG will, we believe, be a country which is viewed as one taking positive steps to achieve high standards of government.

Lawrence Stephens Chairman Transparency International (PNG) 11 | P a g e Message from the Acting Clerk of National Parliament I take this opportunity to pay special tribute to late Podi Kohu, the then acting Clerk of Parliament who suddenly passed away whilst on duty.

He served parliament with distinction.

He was a walking “Parliament Standing Order”.


He was my mentor who has taught me a lot on parliamentary procedures and I am a debtor.

Whilst I will be seen as the youngest officer to occupy the position of the Acting Clerk of Parliament, I am very aware of the critical importance of my position as the Acting Chief Executive Officer of this noble and distinguished institution and what it entails.
I am also aware of the critical importance of implementing the Speaker’s vision to restore, reform and modernise Parliament.

The responsibility is huge and it demands support from genuine partners to help develop our parliament and achieve the Speaker’s vision.

I am thankful for the opportunity to be part of the Open Parliament Project Steering Committee during its initial phase and am pleased to know that the project has proven a huge success.
The parliament website is a significant contribution to PNG since independence.

With the generous financial support from European Union and the technical support provided by TIPNG, the Open Parliament Project has already made significant impact towards modernising and reforming our parliament by introducing electronic reporting systems.

The report has gone to 163 countries around the globe.

It is an achievement indeed and as a beneficiary organization, we are extremely grateful.
I am aware that the project will come to an end in December 2015.

I will ensure parliament staff take full carriage when the project is handed over to parliament and ensure it is sustained.

I highly commend the dynamic relationships between the donor, implementer and recipient organizations in successfully implementing the project.
