Nipa Kutubu MP Dr Billy Joseph

He said, “My demand for an independent audit of the following projects by Construct Oceanic Ltd in SHP is non-negotiable.”

The projects he is making reference to include:

1. Kagua Town Sealing;
2. Mendi 4 Lane Road Sealing;
3. Oiyarep stadium for cancelled PNG Games; Kagua Soccer stadium, Nipa Basketball courts etc not done;
4. Mendi Airport Runway Sealing Subcontract; and

Dr Joseph had called for an audit into the failed or incomplete projects by Construct Oceanic Limited (COL).

He is very concerned for the safety and well-being of the victims.

The MP said the news of the hostage situation in Mount Bosavi broke out and the government has worked relentlessly in its effort to find and free the hostages held captive in the jungles of Mount Bosavi.

Dr Billy stated the MPs office is working tirelessly with local communities, and government agencies to have the victims released safely and without harm; and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
