The National Airports Corporation today signed a 14 million Kina contract with Korean Engineering Consultants Corporation for consultancy services to be provided to NAC.
The agreement was signed yesterday by both parties at Government House in the presence of Acting Governor-General Job Pomat.

Many airports across the country have been improved as a result.

As such, invitations for Expressions of Interest were issued publicly through Asian Development Bank’s website calling for a suitably qualified airport infrastructure development firm in accordance with ADB’s stringent procurement guidelines and procedures an internationally recognized firm was selected to assist the CADIP with the supervision of the remaining ten airport projects.

Following the selection of the successful consultant, a submission was made to the National Executive Council by the former Minister for Civil Aviation, Lekwa Gure for approval to award.

NEC deliberated on this and have since approved the award of the Contract to KECC Keunjeong JV in Association with Kramer Ausenco of Korea for Construction Supervision Consultancy Services under the CADIP program for almost 15 million Kina.

As Government House’s first order of business for 2020, the Consultancy Agreement was signed between the acting managing Director of NAC Ephraim Wasem and the Vice President of the KEEC Seungwoo Phi and the General Manager for the Airport Department of KEEC HeongChang Lee.

Government House officials read out the NEC approval for the contract, followed by a clearance from the Auditor General’s office, giving the state’s approval for the agreement to be signed.

Mr. Justin Tkatchenko is originally from Melbourne Victoria (Australia) and recruited in early 1990's by the then Member of North East late David Unagi to take charge of UPNG Botanical Gardens that was taken over by NCD in 1993. He did not complete year 12 and according to public information provided to Parliament (bio-data), he completed year 11 certificate at Banyule High School, Melbourne in 1988. Banyule High School has since merged with another nearby high school and formed the Viewbank College in 1994. #BREAKING: Minister for Foreign Affairs Justin Tkatchenko has announced he has stepped down as Minister 24-hours after he said he would not step down. His announcement comes as the country made calls for his sacking and deportation amid comments he made during an interview. Mr Tkatchenko's announcement of his stepping down from office will surely throw the government into disarray as he was in the midst of organising the India-Pacific Leaders meeting and the United States President Joe Biden's historic visit to PNG. The ministry is now left with Prime Minister James Marape. This announcement has been done one week before the important bilateral talks with 14 other leaders. Mr. Speaker. I love this country, the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, and all that this country stands for and the hopes that offers to our people. So, to our Nation, I say to you that I am sorry for any misunderstanding. Papua New Guinea is my home, it is my heart, and is the place where one day I will be laid to rest. … From my heart, I apologies to any of our people who misinterpreted my words which were spoken against those hateful people, in the protection of my daughter.
