Lae’s Lord Mayor, has asked the new City Authority Board to give him two weeks to consult with LLG councilors before signing off on an agreement which will give the Authority control over revenue and accounts.
The request has effectively delayed the immediate implementation of the board’s plans to improve services and account for money generated in the City.
While the board has agreed, Chairman and Lae MP, says any further delays will force him to seek parliament’s approval to change laws to strengthen the Authority’s functions.
