This was made known at the opening of the final leg of the Regional Consultation Workshop in Port Moresby, on Tuesday.
The National Economic and Fiscal Commission, chief executive officer, Patrick Painap said that the disbursement of the K7.8b grants was from years 2009 to 2023, to the provincial and local level governments to support the education, health, and transport sectors, to name a few.
“When we give the function grant we tell the province and LLGs you must make sure you fund those sectors sufficiently before you look at other aspects,” he said.
