Tomuriesa reassures repayment of K80m to trust account

The K80 million was borrowed by the Government to supplement the National Budget.

Tomuriesa said in Parliament today that Prime Minister Peter O’Neill and Treasurer Patrick Pruaitch have already given the assurance for the reimbursement of those funds.

He assured that the funds will be paid back to the trust account through the Forestry Department.

Tomuriesa was responding to question raised by Member for Kikori Mark Maipakai on when the funds will be reimbursed.
