MPs, you have not done much out of DSIP funds

ANY Government of the day is responsible for proper delivery of basic government services to its people and PNG is no exception.
The service delivery mechanisms in PNG are the companies or businesses of the government called State Owned Enterprises). These included the public utilities in the nation were goods and services are delivered to the people.

However, many services provided by the government involve costs of great sums of money. Hence, the services mean taxation, While there are many types of taxes to raise the needed funds, the ultimate source of the money is the same – the people, Since 2006, each MP was given these sums of money for the district services improvement program (DSIP) every year:

  • •K500,000: District Support Grant
  • •K900,000; District Transport Improvement Program
  • •K200,000; District Education Improvement Program
  • •K200,000: District Health Improvement Program
  • •K100,000: District Water Supply Improvement Program
  • •K100,000: District Law and Justice Program

This is K2 million and in 5 years, the total is K10 million. Though, these funds were realisable, we have only little tangible development in our districts today because of the ignorance of our MPs.
