Wasu LLG grants being misused president claims

The Wasu Local Level Government (WLLG) office is not operating normally, says Petrus Yasing, WLLG president.

“Informing communities about the importance of knowing their rights to resource projects and benefit sharing is especially important for all citizens, including women, children and the marginalised, but that is only possible if state agencies and the industry provide quality data and contextual information through the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)” said Martyn Namorong, Coordinator, PNGRGC.
