Kumul Petroleum Holding Limited today handed over a cheque for K1 million to Enga Governor, Hon. Peter Ipatas, to assist with the ongoing disaster relief effort at Mulitaka, in Enga Province.
Kumul Petroleum Managing Director, Wapu Sonk when presenting the cheque said, “There has been a lot of support coming from other countries, companies and the community at large but as PNG’s national gas and resources company, we also want to assist with the relief effort.”
“The funds, approved by the KPHL Board, are to assist the disaster relief committee on the ground in their efforts to bring some comfort and relief to people who have lost their loved ones and homes in this terrible landslide.”
“I understand that there are people that have been displaced through the landslide and they are not able to return to their land, we hope that our contribution can be used for in-kind support in their resettlement.”
“On behalf of the Board, management and staff of Kumul Petroleum, we extend our heartfelt sorrow to those families that have lost their loved ones and homes, but we also want to encourage them to be resilient.” Mr Sonk said.
