Abel warns of illegal activities from agencies

​Deputy Prime Minister, and Treasurer, Charles Abel, has warned all government agencies that all their revenues must go towards the national budget, and not to other fraud activities.

 He said that there are significant revenue from government agencies that do not reach the government coffers.

“That has to change because there is only one budget in the country and all the revenue must reach the government coffers to implement this budget.

“There is no such thing as other people, non-parliamentarian or non-executive government, conducting the business of government and running separate type of Capital on the outside, bringing in claims that the government will pay.

“Such practices must stop,” the Treasurer warned.

He said the Government needs money to build roads, new classrooms and new hospitals and such illegal activities are denying our people to access such services.

He added that with the help of the Attorney General, the government will be coming up with regulations to monitor such practices.

Abel made those warnings recently when launching his 100 Day Economic Stimulus Plan in Port Moresby.
