The WaSH Authority aims to oversee the implementation of the WaSH Policy passed by the Government in 2017.
The submission was made by Minister for National Planning and Monitoring, Richard Maru.
In an interview with Loop PNG, Minister Maru said the approval of the submission was great news as the authority can now fully implement a nationwide program for clean water and sanitation services.
He said currently just over 30 percent of the population have access to safe, clean drinking water.
