When asked to confirm whether the maintenance project is true, Mr Aufa confirmed: “We are working on the (Parliament) Chamber system.”

Clerk Aufa told PNG SUN that the project, which was tendered, approved and funded last year, would take ‘around 2 (two) months minimum’ to complete. Parliament will sit again on Tuesday 28th, May 2024.

During the Parliamentary meeting this month before its adjournment which attracted wider critics, a couple of members (including Wapenamanda MP Mikki  Kaeok) raised concerns about their malfunctioning ear-piece.
