The opening of the longest bridge in the country has been put off because the Western people wanted Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to do the honours and not Minister for Works, Francis Awesa.
O'Neill was supposed to officially open the Ningerum Ok Tedi River Bridge and Drimgas Fly River Bridge construction. However, he could not make it because of the handing down of the supplementary budget during today's parliament session.
These were some of the impact projects planned during the government formation in Alotau back in 2012.
