Host to three cultural institutions, the National Film Institute, National Performing Arts Troupe based in Goroka and the Provincial Cultural Centre based in Kainantu in Eastern Highlands Province has not been able to fund these institutions.
National Cultural Commission Executive Director Steven Kilanda said that if there were any funding available it would not be sufficient enough to cater to them.
He said Eastern Highlands Province is the gateway to the rest of the highlands provinces yet its cultural institutions are rotting due to blatant neglect.
