Funding of K8 million has been committed by the National Government to build a road linking Maramuni in Enga Province and Karawari in East Sepik Province.
The announcement by Prime Minister James Marape comes three weeks before the Issuing of Writs for the 2022 National Elections.
Speaking at the launching of yet another road link connection Maramuni and Wabag in Enga, PM Marape said his Government is connecting rural Papua New Guinea like never before under its signature ‘Connect PNG’ program.
“We are trying to connect all rural areas right throughout the country, in this year’s Budget, we have allocations for 163 roads throughout the country,” PM Marape said.
The 57km road linking Maramuni and Wabag crosses some of the most-rugged and difficult terrains in the country and was done at minimal costs by the Wabag District Development Authority (DDA) and Enga Provincial Government.
The Maramuni Health Centre Project was also launched during PM’s visit.
