Two auditors from the Ministry of Provincial Government are in Auki, Malaita Province, to assess PCDF projects.
They were welcomed by government executives at the Malaita Provincial Assembly chamber yesterday.
In an interview with Island Sun Auki, Speaker of the Malaita Provincial Assembly, Joe Hero’au, confirmed the brief welcoming of the two auditors.
He said the auditors will stay in Malaita Province for a couple of days to conduct an assessment of the PCDF 2024/2025 in the province.
“As we have requalified this year for the Provincial Capacity Development Fund (PCDF) 2024/2025 with a sum of over 11 million, the auditors are here to assess the projects under this funding,” he said.
During the PCDF meeting last month, Premier of Malaita Province, Elijah Asilaua, stated that the PGSP (Provincial Governance Strengthening Programme) is headed in the right direction and applauded it for showing the way to reach out to the communities via PCDF projects.
“I’m optimistic that by improving our performance each year in the PCDF, we’ll be able to take advantage of more investments that will meet the needs of our people and communities and reduce poverty in our province,” he said.
