Marape clarifies K20m DSIP funds

Prime Minister James Marape clarified the fund allocation after media speculation that MPs will be allocated K100m per year.

He said the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC) will prosecute any leader who misuses these funds.

To clear the misconceptions about the K20 million District Services Improvement Programme funding to each district, Prime Minister James Marape clarified that the funding is not free money for MPs but people’s money for development purposes.
