THERE are 40 service providers that are yet to get full payments for the work done to deliver the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.
This was made clear by PNG Sports Foundation Chief Executive Officer Peter Tsiamalili Jnr yesterday at the Sir John Guise Stadium; he said despite the service providers being not fully paid their entitlements, they were still understanding of the situation.
He added that it was an issue that would be solved once funding was made available and that a steering committee was responsible for the final payments.
“We have discussed with them and we have talked and they understand the nature of it, and it’s something we are managing.
“We shouldn’t see that as a negative they have delivered for the state and the state is still responsible for sorting it out,” Tsiamalili Jnr said.
He made it known that there was a total of K16.5 million owed to the 40 service providers and the steering committee made up of the PNG Sports Foundation, National Planning and Finance (departments) were looking into the issue.
“We have a steering committee which will look at these ongoing challenges that we have, it’s not like we are doing this in isolation, we have National Planning and Finance (departments) that are in the committee as well,” Tsiamalili Jnr said.
