China grants 30,679.01 kina to PNG for water supply materials

On May 18, 2001, Chinese Ambassador to Papua New Guinea, Zhao Zhenyu, handed over a cheque of 30,679.01 kina to fund the purchase of Kerowagi water supply materials. The project will benefit about 5,000 people of the Paglau tribe of Kerowagi township (in the Highlands province of Chimbu). The cheque was received by the member for Kerowagi and communication minister, John Kamb, and Paglau war councillor Frank Kowane at the Chinese embassy. Mr. Kamb thanked Mr. Zhenyu and the Chinese people for their goodwill assistance towards funding the purchase of water supply materials and said the Kerowagi-Barawagi water supply will be completed and commissioned in September this year. Kerowagi-Barawagi water supply is an 8-9 km project that started in 1993.
