Sir Albert Maori Kiki is known as one of the architects of Papua New Guinea's independence.

Albert Speer acted as a mentor to Maori Kiki and in gratitude Kiki asked permission to use Speer's first name as his own, hence Sir Albert Maori Kiki.

Speer returned to Papua New Guinea in 1993 to attend the funeral of Kiki.
