On July 11, Port Moresby-based workers at Telikom marched to the prime minister's office, where they told chief secretary Joshua Kalinoe that they were on "indefinite holiday", and would switch off the county's telecommunications. The workers are demanding that KPMG be removed from its US$1.5 million contract as Telikom's "strategic advisors", a wage increase of 4% and the resignation of the managing director of the country's national superannuation fund.
