FORMER provincial members from Western Highlands say they will sue the departments of finance and the provincial affairs for not paying their entitlements.
In a meeting yesterday at Kopunye Lawyers’ office, the legal firm engaged to secure their entitlements, they said they had been waiting for five years and 10 of their members had already died.
They claimed they had wasted a lot of money in legal fees and in travelling to and from Port Moresby trying to seek the funds.
Former deputy premier Yuants Kuman said the former provincial members had decided to take the State to court because the national and the supreme courts had ordered it to pay them their entitlements but that had not happened.
