Spokesperson of the umbrella Landowner Company, Mary Handen said their Governor Ronny Knight will be taking their petition up to Prime Minister Peter O’Neil soon.

Their demand for the K100 million economic package is expected to be raised in the meeting between PM O’Neil and Australia’s Immigration Minister Chris Bowen today in Port Moresby.
