This was revealed by Works Minister, Michael Nali, in Parliament today.
He said this when questioned by East Sepik Governor Allan Bird where the funding was and when it could be released.
Governor Bird said the K10 million was approved on November 13th last year and a cheque given to the Works Department.
He said the next day, two contactors had arrived in Wewak to begin work but they stopped, believing it was contrary to finance management act.
