Prime Minister, Peter O’Neill has welcomed the commitment of the Government caucus to completing the work plan laid out in the Alotau Accord.
The Alotau Accord was set following the 2012 election by the parties and members that went on to form Government.
O’Neill said the Alotau Accord is now an historic agreement in the history of the nation.
“This is the most forward thinking platform for any elected Government in the history of Papua new Guinea.
“This document, the Alotau Accord, clearly identifies key priority areas that we need to advance in our country if we are to deliver real and tangible change for our communities.
“We are not a Government that promised the moon, we promised reality for our people.
“We promised the reality that we could deliver in education, healthcare, law and order and infrastructure, and we are delivering on what we promised.
“It is fulfilling to see that we have achieved close to 90 per cent of our commitments under the Alotau Accord and we will deliver a full report in this in the coming months.”
The Government Caucus last week concluded an intensive day of review of the achievements that have been made through the implementation of deliverables in the 2012 Alotau Accord, that laid the foundation of the O’Neill-Dion Government work plan.
With more than 80 Members of Parliament meeting in the birthplace of the Accord, Alotau in Milne Bay Province, members considered each element of the accord and its state of completion in a plenary session.
