LETS ADDRESS LAW & ORDER IN HAGEN 

By KOLOPU WAIMA of Post-Courier, Mount Hagen

A Supermarket Manager in Western Highlands is calling on all stakeholders to join hands to address illegal activities in Mt Hagen City.

The manager, who remains anonymous for security reasons, said last Thursday that political heads and business men and women including police must work together to  bring Mt Hagen to his former glory days back of 1980s and 1990s.

“Who’s going to do if its not being done, the ownership comes back to the people of WHP to change their mind and attitudes for a better city to live and work in,” he said.

He said that law and order enforcing agencies in the province needs to pull up their socks.

“We really need some confidence from law agencies as we will be heading into the general elections in some four months away and we believe that if the law-and-order situation doesn’t improves, these town will become a ghost town.”

He said that the laws are enshrined in the constitution of our country and it is now up to the law enforcing agencies to use the laws to physically handle all these vagrants and nomads.

“The law enforcing agencies really need to be empowered with logistics such as vehicles, fuel and men power which most of the officers have come off age,” he said.

He urged all political heads in the province including the governor to contribute some funding from their DSIP and PSIP in law and order component to empower law and order agencies in the province so that the investors can see a decline of law and order situations in the province.
