By Prime Minister James Marape

All my tribes women and men from Gobe, Kutubu, Moran, Angore, Hides ( both pdl 1&7) and Juha, your royalty and equity from PNGLNG is still sitting in central bank.

I want to speak to those of you already in Pom this Wednesday so instead of your infightings that is derailing the process of distributing benefits to every children, mothers and all men, few of you have stood in the way can reach amicable solutions for the majority.

To all of yous back home, you don’t need to come to Pom, I will assist our petroleum minister Hon Kua and his department reconcile all that needs to be done in department and also assist expedite all matters few LOs have filed in court that has stopped payments for yous.

I will come back and visit those of yous back home in all pdls when time permits, so don’t come to Pom. I am checking on DPE to progress status of all PDLs in March and those PDLs who do not have court issues will be paid.

For those in courts, let’s mediate as our ancestors are great mediators. I want you all to talk and let’s resolve these issues and let’s roll the money to all our families and tribes.

Our friends in central province are getting theirs under my instructions because they have no disputes, our Kikori cousins should be getting theirs too so up to you all tribal leaders in the mountains to assist your clans and tribes.

See those of you in Pom on Thursday afternoon at 12 pm at Sir John Guise indoor stadium. Those not in Pom please don’t come, government will come to your project areas.

Cheers!

PMJM.
