Public Servants Extra allowances

State negotiators paid themselves millions: House told

Prime Minister Peter O’Neill made those bold remarks when responding to questions without notice from Member for Chuave Wera Mori in Parliament today.   

The Vice Minister for Mining directed his questions to the Prime Minister as the Public Service Minister Sir Puka Temu was not in the chamber.     

Mori questioned why, “Officials from the Department of Mineral Policy and Geo-hazards Management paid themselves hefty fees for concluding state negotiation on probably the Wafi-Golpu Project amounting to a million Kina or more.”
