PNG owns MRDC

Post Courier

THE Mineral Resource Development Company (MRDC) is a company for Papua New Guinea and not only for Southern Highlands.
Community leader Joe Kambian said this when welcoming the re-appointment of MRDC managing director in Augustine Mano by the National Executive Council for another five-years.
 

“Southern Highlanders must know that landowner equity from mines around the country such as OK Tedi, Lihir, Simberi, Ramu Nico, Porgera, Hidden Valley, and new ones that are coming through including Yandera and Frieda will be managed by MRDC.”
Mr Kambian said MRDC was in the red when Mr Mano took over and has since grown MRDC into a very successful story.
“We believe in Mr Mano’s capability and although he is a Southern Highlander, he has the interest of Papua New Guinea at heart and because of his milestone achievement, the government has extended another five years on his contract.”
He said if any other person who is optimistic of achieving better achievements than Mr Mano and can do much better than him can start criticizing and lobbying for the job.
Mr Kambian said Pimaga station in Nipa-Kutubu was covered by bushes and the MRDC boss literally change the place around and also assisted in setting up BSP Rural banking at Kutubu.
“We the people of Madang look forward to working under the stewardship of Mr Mano as we have new mines coming on stream including Yandera, Kurumbukari and the gas discovery in the Trans-Gogol area of Madang.”
“We give our total support to Mr Mano and congratulate Prime Minister Peter O’Neill in extending the contract because he is one of the most capable managing directors.” Mr Kambian said.
