The Region One community of Wauna is divided over how carbon credits monies have been used for the purchasing of wires for an electrification project and the way forward is unclear.
Contretemps in the community has also raised early questions about accountability for monies under the Hess carbon credits programme – a portion of which is going to indigenous villages.
Controversy surrounds the purchasing of the wires for electrification as the person who made the acquisition did so from a store which had not provided a quotation and questions have now arisen about the quality of the item.
