PMV OPERATORS CALL TO ADDRESS PMV ACCIDENTS COMPENSATION CLAIMS

By Paul PETRUS in WHP

THE current compensation demand for deaths relating to PMV accidents at over K100,000 and 100 pigs is a real nightmare.

This high compensation demands is a real dilemma affecting many PMV operators especially in Western Highlands province.

PMV operator, Koiya Wak in a recent meeting with the Western Highlands Provincial Member, Wai Rapa and PMV operators expressed this concern as a challenge to the PMV operators’.

Wak suggested, at least K20,000 and 20 or 30 pigs would be understandable.

PMV operators are calling on the Western Highlands Provincial Government and the relevant authorities to legalize and control the process and set a fixed amount for compensations.

Wak in acknowledging the support of Western Highlands Provincial government in subsidizing PMV registration appealed to all PMV operators in the province to meet the requirements and access the invaluable support from the government.
