Welcome to the PNG Woman Blog
Elevating the status of women and girls in Papua New Guinea remains one of our most pressing development needs.
Join us on our journey to cultivate women leadership, address gender inequality and enhance decent work for women by raising their well-being and the well-being of the nation.
Special focus on uplifting rural youth, women and girls out of poverty of rights and opportunities and giving them voice.
Hello I’m Kessy and welcome to my blog.
I established this blog in 2016 following my resignation as the Deputy Commissioner of PNG Customs Service, with the aim of providing a platform for discussing the economic challenges our nation faces.
I also used it as a campaign tool for the 2017 national elections, where I placed third. Undeterred, I spent the next five years focused on one goal: securing a seat in PNG’s national parliament. I am deeply grateful to the people of Rai Coast for granting me their mandate in the 2022 elections.
I am deeply thankful to all who have joined me on this journey, contributing in their own special ways, especially the people of Rai Coast Electorate in Madang Province.
Following a six-year pause from this blog, I am thrilled to come back and recount my experiences now as a female member of the Papua New Guinea Parliament and as a State Minister in the PANGU-led Marape-Rosso Government. I hope that both women and men in PNG can discover meaningful insights from my journey and the lessons I’ve acquired, especially in fostering the election of more women leaders to Parliament.

This bilum was given to me in Teptep, filled with organic & juicy apples, wheat, sugar fruits, asparagus and ’tree tomatoes’. I’ve shared its contents with many people along the way, including Dr Simbiken and his Team at NARI. Last 3 apples left for Shabbat dedication and prayers for our people.
Exciting things in the pipeline.
Rai Coast ya, blessing Peles. 4-in-1 ✅ Islands, Coast, Highlands and Ramu Plains.
