This is the fourth year the MP has rescued parents, who are mostly subsistence farmers, by paying tuition fees under his district’s human resource development program.
The program has cost Atiyafa and his District Development Authority (DDA) K8 million since 2013, a feat no other MP in Eastern Highlands and Chimbu provinces would match.
The beneficiaries are those attending universities, teachers and nursing colleges plus other privately-run educational and training institution across Papua New Guinea.
