Madang MP, Bryan Kramer, intervened following the close of government accounts on 21 December to access the funding, which was appropriated under the 2020 National Budget.
Kramer, through a Memorandum of Understanding between the DDA, the Department of Works and the Department of Treasury, had the funds credited to the Madang District Development Authority who will take responsibility for the implementation of the work.
“The Madang DDA will now take charge of repairing and maintaining our town roads, as we should have a decade ago,” Kramer said.
