As the year ends and with Maprik by-elections tentatively scheduled for February next year, Tamari says it is time they release the funds now so police can prepare for the by-election.
“I concluded the Wewak operation fund with literally no funding, and I will not go into this election until and unless the government release the funds,” Tamari said.
He said in every election there are two separate budget - one for the Electoral Commission and one for the police that is given to Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary to coordinate.
