Public servants of Rabaul district, East New Britain (ENB) province have been urged to fully implement their programs and activities for the year according to their respective activity plans and allocated funds. This was highlighted by ENB Deputy Provincial Administrator (DPA) for Corporate Services Mr. Marakan Uvano when speaking during the 2nd Quarter Budget Review for Rabaul District Administration at the district headquarters, Kurakakaul. “Implementation in the first two quarters has not been to expectation and as public servants we have been mandated to carry out the core business of government; and that is service delivery.” The DPA- Corporate Services also stressed on former years funds and encouraged sectors to fully expand on their budgets and start or complete implementation of projects. “We need to zero our former year’s funds and not let it roll over to next year. I believe there are challenges and other issues that you are facing as a district but that should not be a hindrance, our people deserve quality government services.” Meantime, District Administrator Mr. Benedict Mode when giving his remarks said there are some challenges faced such as the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS) offline issue but that has been solved. He also announced that there are nine major projects already out on tender that covers Rabaul roads rehabilitation, police post housing and site clearance for a health facility. Also speaking at the budget review was Deputy District Administrator (Admin.) Mr. Babel Umri who said budget formulation is still a challenge. He added that alignment of programs from provincial level to district, LLGs and wards is important in better serving our people. The two-day 2nd quarter budget review ends today with LLG presentations.
