EDUCATION Minister Theo Zurenuoc has accused his department of sleeping and not moving to implement government programmes and commitments.
Zurenuoc said that during Question Time in Parliament when responding to Kiriwina-Goodenough MP Jack Cameron, who has been waiting for the K500,000 reimbursements of his district’s RESI (Rehabilitation of Education Sector Infrastructure) funds.
Cameron said in September last year, Zurenuoc approved K500,000 funding for upgrading Watuluma High School on Goodenough Island, in Milne Bay province.
He said the promised funding was not delivered and the district had to use K500,000 from its RESI funds to upgrade the high school to its status as Watuluma Technical Secondary school.
Cameron asked when this RESI money would be reimbursed to complete RESI programmes in other parts of the district.
He asked what the delay was in the release of the money when Zurenuoc had already approved K500,000 to be released to honour a government commitment.
Zurenuoc said the commitment had been approved but the Department of Education bureaucracy must move to implement government programmes.
He said he could only give directions to the secretary but could not direct the bureaucracy
