Bougainville still waiting for its funding from Port Moresby

From , 5:03 am on 18 December 2018

The President of Bougainville, John Momis, says the autonomous region is still waiting for Papua New Guinea to pay its constitutionally guaranteed grant.

When last month's national Budget was released the Restoration and Development Grant, which Port Moresby is required to pay under the Bougainville Peace Agreement, was missing.

President John Momis told Don Wiseman he was assured by the Prime Minister Peter O'Neill that the omission was an oversight and would be corrected.
