 PETROLEUM Minister Nixon Duban was yesterday questioned in Parliament on the Konebada Petroleum Park outside Port Moresby.

Lagaip-Porgera MP Nixon Mangape asked Duban:

  • Why persons implicated over the misuse of millions of kina for the park were not arrested;
  • why Petroleum and Energy Secretary Rendle Rimua remained when he was labelled  “incompetent”;
  • when the park would be developed;
  • what projects or infrastructure had been built; and,
  • Why he was not implementing the findings of a 2010 Public Accounts Committee report into the park.

Duban, in reply, said a number of companies wanted to use the park for petro-chemical purposes.

He said the PAC report remained to be implemented.

Duban said the land would be sub-divided and allocated for petro-chemical purposes.
