She said with the support of the Prime Minister, the much delayed market will be built so that her people can sell and buy their local produce.

"The much anticipated Goroka market will be constructed. The money has been parked in the trust account and it's there,” said Soso.

“It will be delivered early next year with the support of Prime Minister Peter O'Neill."
