NewzVincent Kumura, the newly elected Member of Parliament for Usino Bundi, has publicly called for the abolition of the District Services Improvement Program (DSIP) and the Provincial Services Improvement Program (PSIP). The call comes as the legislator highlights the logistical challenges of his electorate, which he claims exceeds the total land area of Simbu Province.
The proposal to scrap these funding mechanisms suggests a potential shift in discourse regarding how development funds are allocated and managed at the district and provincial levels in Papua New Guinea. By emphasizing the geographic scale of his constituency, Kumura points to the difficulties of effective service delivery under the current administrative and financial framework.
