In his statement, Mr Marape confirmed he knew Don Matheson from playing golf but said he had "no knowledge of the alleged financial transactions or the relationships" between Mr Matheson, ICTSI and PNG Ports officials. Mr Kiniafa played a key role in coaxing massive funding from the Australian government to upgrade PNG's ports network – and he was in charge of the program until his death. Mr Kiniafa was murdered last year in the PNG highlands town of Goroka following a drunken dispute with a friend. The ABC and OCCRP revealed the apparent payments in relation to Mr Kiniafa included fees for a champion Australian racehorse Mr Matheson co-owned with Mr Kiniafa, and $20,000 for a chair for a dental clinic owned by Mr Kiniafa's wife. ICTSI said it hired Mr Matheson for work outside PNG and it was unaware of any payments to PNG Ports officials. The ABC's Background Briefing and the OCCRP revealed questionable payments involving then top PNG Ports officials Fego Kiniafa and Stanley Alphonse around the time a major contract was awarded to a multinational ports operator, ICTSI in 2017.
