Special Agriculture Business Leases (SABLs)

In a media conference yesterday, Justin Tkatchenko said only 40 land files out of 100 had been found.

He said a thorough search within every corner of the Department will be made to find the documents.

Tkatchenko was flanked by the members of the Customary Land Advisor Committee (CLAC) during the announcement.

He said of the 40 land files, 10 have been cancelled as per court orders, voluntary surrender and legal advice as the SABL title holders did not follow proper procedures in attaining them.

This was the bold statement from the People’s Movement for Change (PMC) Party Parliamentary Leader when talking about their platforms heading into the 2017 National Elections.    

He was speaking at the PNG National Research Institute political parties’ forum last week in Port Moresby.

Juffa said the PMC policies revolve around the key platforms of good governance, law and order, national security, education, health, taxation reform, economic empowerment, land and resource ownership, non-extractive industries, gender equality and Bougainville and West Papua.
