An investigation team is yet to fly out to East Sepik Province to conduct investigations on the recent breakout at Boram Prison.
Police in Wewak are assisting the Correctional Service in locating the remaining inmates who are still on the run.
Correctional Service Commissioner Michael Waipo says funds are yet to be processed as accounts have just recently been opened for 2017.
The investigation team will be given only a week to carry out investigations into the breakout.
In the meantime, police and CS officers are working together to recapture the other remaining inmates who are still at large.
East Sepik Provincial Police Commander Peter Philips says the families of the two inmates that were shot during the recapture have been claimed and taken for burial.
17 inmates are still at large.
