 THE former Morobe  pro­vincial government made human resource development one of its priorities.

It initiated the MPG scholarship to assist un­fortunate Moro­beans.

We commend former governor Luther Wenge for the scho­larship.

Following a change of leadership, the scholarship is limited to a select group.

Many students atten­ding colleges and universities are unable to get the scholarship because the new go­vernor said there was not enough funds.

The provincial government said only the HE­CAS or AES-sponsored students will get the scholarship.

This is good for the fortunate Morobeans.

But the un­fortunate ones have missed out, crea­ting a chasm of inequality in distribution of much-needed resour­ces.
