State Enterprise Minister William Duma confirmed in Parliament today when responding to question without notice from South Fly MP Aide Ganasi.
The local MP asked why the K7 million state-of-the-art plant was given to Yangoru Station in East Sepik Province.
"The reason was that, Water PNG realised that there was no point to hold on to this expensive plant when waiting for Water PNG and PNGSDP to come to an agreement.
"I can assure the good Member that the replacement had already been bought and awaiting shipment from Brisbane, Australia," Duma said.
