THE Papua New Guinea Volleyball Federation is mindful on how it
utilises the K80,000 sponsorship from Telikom PNG, says
vice-president Bernard Alu.
Alu said this yesterday when commenting on statements that PNGVF
two other respective teams, Beach Volleyball and the Development
Team, have missed out on their share from the sponsorship.
Alu said the Beach Volleyball comes under the jurisdiction of
PNGVF, and the sponsorship from Telikom is a big bonus to the
Federation only to be bailed out in the 11th hour from their levy
payments.
The vice-president said respective teams – Indoor, Beach and
Development squad were asked to prepare submission for a PNGVF
blanket submission for funding, and only indoor provided their
costing and thereís were submitted.
He said however, the national body is mindful of the other two
disciplines in which will deal and support them.
Alu said like other sporting code, PNGVF is mindful and will be
accountable to the sponsorship funds used and will have to acquit
accordingly of their spending.
He said how PNGVF will use the funds was important and it would
have to make good administrative and wise decisions to use the
funds meaningfully to its purpose ... “we will not jump the gun
and use it unwisely.”
The vice-president said he was aware of beach volleyball which
really need extra fund to travel for the camp in Brisbane before
flying to Apia, Samoa for the Games.
Currently, stand-in coach Christine Griffin is desperately looking
for funds to send the team after PNG Volleyball Federation turned
down their request for financial support for Brisbane trip.
Alu said if Griffin has any matters or request from PNGVF, she or
any other person must follow procedures and the matter must be
resolved internally.
