The Clerk of National Parliament Mr. Kala Aufa has delivered on his promise a K40,000 to Nariawang Primary School in Leron Wantoat LLG, Markham District of Morobe Province.

Mr. Aufa presented the funding on Friday morning, July 31st , 2026, just a week after accompanying Acting Speaker of Parliament and Markham MP Hon. Koni Iguan to open two new teachers’ houses and a double classroom at the school.

The announcement caught the school community by surprise. Board members, teachers, parents, and students stood startled and speechless as the cheque was handed over.

Mr. Aufa highlighted that the funding offered was part of his commitment to support infrastructure development in the area, and he is happy to fulfil his promise to the school. He added that the support was made possible because of the school’s good track record. 

“Because of the good administration and accountability shown in delivering previous projects, I made this commitment. Public funds must be used properly, and Nariawang has proven that.”

Headmaster Mr. Robert John thanked the Parliament Clerk and assured parents and the community the money would be used well.

“This funding will go toward building another double classroom,” Mr. John announced. “We will complete the building by November and do the official opening in December, and in honor of this support, the new classroom will be named after the Parliament Clerk.”

Speaking on behalf of the community, Mr. Joel Gidisa said it was a proud moment for Leron.

“It is an honor to receive funding directly from the Parliament Clerk,” Mr. Gidisa said. “We assure you this money will be used to change the face of this school."

"When our school improves, more parents will take education seriously, and when more of our children are educated, they will contribute meaningfully to our society.”

The K40,000 came through the Parliament Clerk’s Assistance Grant.

For the level six primary school, the support comes at the right time as enrollment grows, and classroom space remains tight.
