The 382 wards in East New Britain have been encouraged to create their respective ward business arms creating own revenue to benefit the people in the ward. The president of the Toma Vunadidir LLG Robert Mati raised this over the weekend during the swearing in of the 133 Ward Development Committees (WDC) in his LLG. He said that all wards under his LLG will have business arms as this is one of his many plans to roll out in his LLG as the current president. He said when wards and LLGs have business arms they can acquire plans from donors and that can be manage because if manage through the LLG administration it would not work well because politics will interfere so the way forward now is to establish a business arm at the LLG and business arms at the wards. He added that this is when people will see the chain will flow properly as they create extra money for the LLG and for the community and not waiting and depending all the time on government funds. “Now at the various districts some they already have business arms so I encouraged all the wards and LLGs in the province to create business arms this will help a lot,” said Mr Mati. Like for the Gazelle district they have Gazelle Development Corporation and the province is East New Britain Development Corporation and those are the links and that is only up at the top and it is good to bring down to the LLG and ward levels also. “The LLG and wards is the root it is where the real people live and people experience real problems and there are some things that are still missing and we have to fill the links this an opportunity that we have to grab.” “If we established more business arms we will look at more developments because they will operate as an entity on its own to find funding for the LLGs even the wards,” he said. He added that now with the ward government policy and recognition of the WDCs wards should create more revenue so that they themselves will pay the WDCs for the work that they do.
