West New Britain Governor Sasindran Muthuvel has raised concerns on the preparedness of the PNG Games in March 2017 in the province.
Questioning the Minister for Sports and National Events Justin Tkatchenko today in Parliament, Muthuvel asked the Minister to explain how prepared the government is towards the PNG Games.
“What is the preparedness for PNG Games as it is a national event and not a provincial event that’s why it is called PNG Games.
“Considering the national elections next year, what is the assurance that the Government has to implement the PNG Games in West New Britain?” he asked.
Muthuvel said so far the provincial government has spent more than K25 million on building the infrastructure with the support of Talasea MP Francis Marus, who has spent K5 million on the infrastructures as well.
Tkatchenko in response said the government is prepared to support WNB to host the games at the end of March 2017 and congratulated Muthuvel and his administration for a job well done.
He said the facilities built in the province is a state of the art and will be used accordingly.
He further called on all the governors to get behind their provincial teams and take part in the event.
