Governor Tony Wouwou

Prime Minister James Marape recently opened the new West Sepik Provincial Administration building and announced other impact projects.

"I want to acknowledge the good leadership of Governor Honourable Tony Wouwou. He went ahead and didn’t wait for the national government but used the funds that we gave him for the province as internal revenue to erect a house for meeting the people of West Sepik,” PM Marape said.  

The Prime Minister also committed an additional K4 million from the National Government to prepare the building for use.

The PM clarified that Governor Wouwou’s support of PNC has never wavered.

Wouwou visited Opposition MPs earlier today at the Sanctuary Hotel. During his visit, Opposition Leader Patrick Pruaitch announced that the WSP Governor had defected from the Government.

Countering that announcement, the PM this evening said the Governor in fact, remains loyal to the PNC ruling coalition, and has not resigned from the party.
