Govt not responsible for LNG situation: Somare

“The plight of the Gulf people's LNG benefit is not the work of the government.”

This was the comment from former State Enterprise Minister, Arthur Somare, at Malalaua Station during the opening of the Kerema District Development Authority building on Wednesday.

During his one-day visit to the province by chopper, he pointed out that more work needed to be done. This should start with people cooperating with their leaders to see the delivery of basic services.

He told the people of Gulf Province that they needed a responsible government.

Somare also believes that benefits from the Project were going to be huge, once it kicks off.

He was accompanied to the province by a National Alliance Party contingent, which included Kairuku-Hiri MP Peter Isoaimo. They were there to announce their support for three candidates running under the NA umbrella; Jim Taparu for Gulf Regional, Kerema Open Richard Mendani and Kikori Open Nigimo Utu.
