Govt to consult P’nyang gas landowners to get best deal: PM

PRIME Minister James Marape has assured North Fly MP James Donald that consultation with landowners on the P’nyang gas project will take place to ensure that they get the best deal.
Donald recently raised questions on the gas project and was not satisfied with the response given by Marape.
Donald was advised to submit questions formally in writing to Marape, copied to the Minister for Petroleum Kerenga Kua.
“I will get the minister for petroleum to get a written response,” Marape said.
Marape said Kua recently returned from meeting with Exxonmobil representatives to ensure progress on the P’nyang project and to secure benefits for those involved.
“As far as benefits are concerned, all state agents involved are working very hard to make sure no one gets left out,” he said.
