221110 OGIO TOURS ELECTORATE By Tom Kathoa
The Member for North Bougainville and Minister for Higher Education Science and Technology, Hon. Michael Ogio says, Papua New Guinea would be flushed with a lot of money as a result of the mineral boom being experienced in the country. The Minister said this during his tour of some areas in his electorate recently. Minister Ogio said Papua New Guinea stands to make billions of kina from the LNG Gas Project in the Southern Highlands Province in three years time. He said the first sale of gas from the project to overseas buyers would occur in 2014, three years away. He said the country would earn K53 billion US Dollars from the project, money that would greatly impact on the lives of the people of this country. To do this, the government would inject more money into the Southern Highlands province to avoid any disruption to the project. The Minister also told the people that the Autonomous Region of Bougainville will also benefit from this windfall. Minister Ogio visited Kekesu in the Taunita/Tinputz Constituency Siara in the Sealu area and Hoko in the Hagogohe Constituency. He returned to Port Moresby today for the Budget Session of Parliament.
