Duma said in Parliament today that SOEs must not enjoy monopolies.
He made this statement following comments from Ijivitari MP David Arore who called on Water PNG to establish water reservoirs in Popondetta town.
Duma said that among all the water centres that are being operated by Water PNG, only Lae, Kokopo and Mt Hagen are profitable.
All other centres are regarded as social services and Northern Province falls into that category.
“This reflects the competence of all our SOEs.
