An 89-year-old tribe chairman representing the Hiwa/Koma tribe (ILG-No 9025) has appealed directly to the cabinet regarding missed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) royalties. The dispute centers on the PNG-LNG project site located in Tari, Hela Province, specifically within PDL 1.
According to the tribe, they have been excluded from the landowner identification and benefit-sharing process for over thirty years. This long-standing grievance highlights ongoing challenges regarding the equitable distribution of project revenues to traditional landowners in the region.
