With the disabling of the Government’s Integrated Financial Management System, Morobe’s education division is unable to pay service providers.
Though the Minister for Finance, Sir John Pundari, said on the 28th of October that the department managed to fully restore the system, the Morobe Provincial Government’s finance office says its system is still down.
Provincial program advisor of education, Keith Tangui, said this is why they are behind schedule in the marking of Grade Eight exam papers.
