Landowners want outstanding grants

WE impacted landowners of the oil and gas pipelines in Kikori are calling on National Government, through the National Planning Minister Richard Maru, to release Gulf infrastructure development grant (IDG) balance of 2013 of K6.7 million.
This is to fund badly-needed infrastructure projects in Kikori which has the footprints of the two pipelines.
We also have outstanding IDGs for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Grants like IDG are part of our landowner benefits under oil and gas agreements. We demand that these monies are spent on Kikori projects through landowner contractors.
We look forward for development action in 2018.
