NEW DAWN FM NEWS
The ABG member for MAKIS, HON JUNIOR TUMARE has called on the Executive Government to make sure all ABG members are included in leaders activities and not just the Ministers and Hired and expensive consultants.
He said that the Government must support back benchers to support this government by making sure members get funding assistance to do their work.
The member for MAKIS made these statements when debating the Presidential statement delivered by President HON ISHMAEL TOROAMA this morning.
He was very critical at the work of engaging expensive consultants in the consultations which has led to Bougainville paying high fees without TERMS OF REFERENCE for their work.
The member said that this has made the Back benchers look like they are not part of a team of mandated leaders.
His statement were distracted by Ministers who also said that they have not received the first and second quarter of their Constituency Grants and not just the ordinary members.
The member for Makis questioned how can the members support the government without first assistance from budgeted funding which they have not received since January 2022.
He also questioned why the symposium in Arawa was called the leaders symposium when mandated leaders were not invited to participate in.
The member also questioned how much of the FOUR HUNDRED MILLION KINA budgeted for this year was received and on what development projects were they expanded.
