Minister for Defence Dr Fabian Pok

I do not know who owns the land: Defence Minister

Dr Pok was responding to a supplementary question from Sumkar MP, Ken Fairweather in today’s Parliament sitting.  

Fairweather asked who is the title holder when the National Government will pay K50 million for the land in the Kairuku- Hiri Electorate of Central Province.

“I do not know who have the title; you have to ask the PNGDF, IPBC (Kumul Consolidated Holdings) or Lands Department,” Dr Pok replied.

Speaker Theo Zurenuoc had to calm both MPs after they did not respect Parliament Standing Orders.
