PNG Tribal Foundation has clarified that it is not responsible for bringing renowned American neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson to Papua New Guinea.

Foundation President GT Bustin made the clarification following media reports claiming that PNG Tribal Foundation was organizing Dr Carson’s visit to the country in July for a leadership summit.

Mr. Bustin said the event will be organized by the PNG Leaders Seminar, which will host Dr . Carson during the leadership summit scheduled for July.

“I made the announcement during one Live2Lead Conference using the platform to support the organizing committee that is preparing for the seminar,” Mr. Bustin said.

He urged journalists to verify information with PNG Tribal Foundation before publishing such reports relating to the organization.

Mr. Bustin added that those interested in attending the leadership seminar in July should contact the PNG Leaders Seminar team for further information.
