More APEC controversy in PNG as MPs given luxury cars

06:03 am on 28 October 2019

The decision to give cars imported for the APEC summit in Papua New Guinea last year to MPs is being panned by anti-corruption advocates. 

The Cabinet last week endorsed the plan, which will see some of the dozens of cars imported for the summit used for parliamentarian use. 

Its the latest twist in the year-long tale of the luxury cars imported for last year's summit, which has drawn widespread condemnation from everyday Papua New Guineans. 

Jamie Tahana has been following the saga, and told Koroi Hawkins what happened last week.
