THE Gazelle development authority has reaffirmed its commitment to financial inclusion and education support by renewing two funding initiatives in partnership with the East New Britain Savings and Loans (ENBSL).

The signing of the memorandum of understanding last Wednesday in Kokopo marked the continuation of programmes that had already benefited families and small businesses.

The Gazelle small-to-medium enterprise (SME) loan and the school fee subsidy programme were each allocated K300,000.

THE SP PNG Hunters should remain a pathway for homegrown players rather than relying heavily on recruiting players from other Hostplus Cup clubs, according to coaching consultant Matt Elliott.

While acknowledging that every club had to make decisions that helped it compete, Elliott said the Hunters’ primary role should be to prepare Papua New Guinean players for the future, especially with the arrival of the PNG Chiefs into the NRL.

“My personal opinion is that the Hunters should be a development process fundamentally for local players,” Elliott said.

THE Government remains committed to an inclusive process in the Papua LNG development forum and will continue to work with the people of Kikori in protecting their rights, says Kikori MP Soroi Eoe.

“There are two major benefits: royalties and business development grants (BDG), which provide flexibility and create opportunities,” he said.

“This (BDG) is a long-term opportunity for our people. We must empower ourselves to use these benefits wisely so that we can create sustainable opportunities for future generations.”

PRIME Minister James Marape has tasked the leaders of five resource provinces to decide on how they want to manage their shares from the PNG Liquefied Natural Gas project.

Marape assured the landowners and the provincial governments that whatever their decision is on the project, their agreed equity interests will not be diluted as the Government works to finalise an appropriate structure for managing the benefits.

He was responding to questions in Parliament from Hiri Koiari MP Keith Iduhu regarding the outstanding landowner benefits associated with the PNG LNG Project.
