PNG blogger attacked

Image
Prominent award winning Papua New Guinean blogger and journalist, Martyn Namarong, was attacked on Tuesday night because of his affiliation with the Opposition communications team. In a post on his blog, The Namarong Report , Martyn states: Today, I officially terminated my association with the Opposition communications team due to a recent incident. This follows a sustained social media campaign by various individuals who wished to discredit me though I am not sure if there is a link. Things got nasty on Tuesday night after I attended the awards night for Excellence in Anti-corruption reporting.

Red ants wage war on borer

Image
By: ABIGAIL APINA   A COUPLE in East New Britain has claimed that red ants have played a vital role in tackling cocoa pod borer (CPB) in their cocoa block. They noticed a few weeks ago that the quality of cocoa that was covered with red ants was better than those without ants. “The quality of cocoa with red ants on them is good and creamy, and we believe this could be a possible solution to fighting CPB throughout the country,” they said. James and Bonnie Wartovo said they were amazed when they realised the difference when harvesting cocoa in the past few weeks. Another villager also claimed that ants were fighting CPB in her backyard cocoa block. She told The National that she had been monitoring her cocoa trees for a few weeks and later concluded, after several harvests, that red ants were fighting the borer. A scientist at the Cocoa and Coconut Research Institute (CCI), Dr Eremas Tade, said there was a possibility red ants were fighting CPB. He ...
