In the passing of Michael Manning, we have lost someone who was passionate about PNG and committed himself to tasks that sought to improve the lives of ordinary Papua New Guineans. His contributions to the development of PNG could not be underestimated. His passion for commitment to the people of PNG was always reflected in his work. He was a fearless fighter against graft and institutional corruption in the public sector and indeed at all levels of civil society in PNG.

He was never afraid to speak out on issues relating to corruption and was a strong promoter of good governance, as a result of which many have termed him a champion of the poor. He was a firm believer in informal economy and endeavoured to represent small farmers on the various boards which he sat. It was during one such meeting he had organised to revive the PNG Growers Association that he collapsed and lost his life. His work on the informal economy will remain a legacy and continue to have a great impact on the lives of the PNG population and many others who have been touched by his contribution to the long term development of PNG in his various capacities at all levels.

His contributions are immense in all sectors, particularly at TIPNG. We at TIPNG know very well that we have lost a symbol of hope which will take time to replace. However the fight still goes on and we will endeavour to carry on the fight against corruption.

-Henry Yamo, TIPNG Communications& Public Relations Officer Transparency International (PNG)
