He's not happy with Prime Minister James Marape and wants things to change. Allan Bird is becoming a big voice in the opposition party. He's known for being honest and talking about the problems people care about, like bad government and lack of honesty. He says people are tired of the government's decisions.

MINISTER PAITA CLARIFIES FUNDING ON HEALTH & SATELLITE PROGRAM 

By Hon. Rainbo Paita via WhatsApp 

In my Term as Planning Minister, I've elevated the Central Hospital to a urgent project to be constructed starting next year.

With the support of Prime Minister James Marape, the 395 Beds Hospital will take the strain away from the Port Moresby General Hospital. 

Others include K39 million in cancer facility, K17 million to be paid now in intervention cardiology, K16 million in cervical center nation-wide setup and K90 million paid for upgrade of level 4 hospitals in several districts.

Next year major intervention will be made in health including the Medical University project.

we loose billions of kina to illegal fishing, illegal logging, lack of border security, high cost of rural communications, we can't even do e-education, e-health, e-commerce and real time electronic voting during election will just be a dream. And other usages for this technology.

Technology is the future. What is K1.4 billion if we loose to illegal fishing and logging an estimated K1 billion every year? 

Kumul Satellite One in my view is a critical national enabling infrastructure for all these programs to bounce off from- Germany OHB and SpaceX are not small players to be not providing a state of the art satwlite Solutions. This is 3 Years of work I've put into trying to get this project off the ground and I will not apologize to anyone for trying to get it done for PNG. 

I will also take full responsibility if the intended outcome is not achieved. 

Thank you
