MP COMMENTS ON DONOR FUNDING

Member of Parliament for East Choiseul,Chairman of the bills and legislative committee and opposition member Mannaseh Sogavare said there are rooms for improvement on how donor funds are effectively used and controlled.

Speaking today in Parliament, Mannaseh Sogavare said national leaders play an important role to ensure effective control over the use of donor funds.

He said national leaders should put their foot down and take serious leading roles as to where and how aid money is being put to use in the country.

Mr Sogavare said, to achieve this, a series of development plans must be developed.

He however said that the main issue is what to develop and by whom.

Mr Sogavare said, the adoption of a long term plan is important to avoid a quick fix solution.
