Finances delay the reconstruction of Malvatumauri Nakamal
Construction of the new Malvatumauri Nakamal will not meet the targeted completion date of March 5, 2024, National Chiefs Day. The Chief Executive Officer of the Malvatumauri National Council of Chiefs, Jean Pierre Tom, has instructed the contractor to complete the main works and erect the roof of the Nakamal before the cyclone season begins in November. However, there have been difficulties in transporting materials and especially wooden poles from the bush around Efate Island to the construction site.
