NCD Governor Powes Parkop has confirmed reports that Kana Construction, contracted to convert the Port Moresby’s only dump into a sanitary landfill has had its contract cancelled with the city authority.
Having awarded the contract to the local contractor in 2014, it was to apply the technical knowhow of the Japanese, through the JICA J-PRISM (Japanese Technical Cooperation Project for Promotion of Regional on Solid Waste Management in the Pacific Island Countries) Program.
It was also to upgrade the day to day operations and management of the dump which is the only one that caters for the nation’s capital, after the closing of the previous 6 Mile dump as a result of a land dispute, regarding encroachment onto customary land.
Governor Parkop said the decision was one that was taken by the commission’s board based on recommendations put by the city management who were of the opinion that the contractor was not fulfilling to the scope that it was required.
“They were disappointed with their work up to now in terms of deliverable so we had no choice but to make that decision,” Mr Parkop said.
“I hope we can get another contractor soon as the work is not completed. We are almost 80% completed, but we have to build the other critical parts of the dump so that it functions totally, which means clearing it out, compacting it, getting rid of the chemical waste and so on, cleaning it out before it is released into the environment.”
“It is a world class facility once it is completed and people of Port Moresby can be proud of it- we’ve invested their money in it because the city is growing and changing and it cannot be like in the past where an open pit and foul smell and gas emitted all over the place to affect people’s lives.”
