Enga roads causing despair and fear
I am fed up of reading articles about
Enga. The plain truth about Enga is that the vast and silent
majority is living in fear.
The main roads linking Kandep to Laiagam, Porgera to Laiagam,
Laiagam to Wabag, Kompiam to Wabag have all deteriorated. Even the
newly sealed road from Wapenamanda to Wabag is filled with huge
potholes.
And the smaller feeder roads like Lower Lai to Wapenamanda and
many more are no longer in the state they were in 10 to 20 years
ago.
Tribal fighting in Enga is a common occurrence. It is happening in
almost all districts of Enga. The vast and silent majority is
living under threat everyday. Even the innocent travelling public
comes under constant attacks from gangsters at roads blocks.
This commonly occurs at villages where tribal fighting has
occurred and people move to seek refuge elsewhere. Vehicle drivers
cannot avoid these gun-wielding gangsters due to poor road
conditions.
I have fallen victim to such gangsters on several occasions at
Akom, Lai Bridge, Lama Bridge and the Liane Mountain.
Fix up the roads in Enga, increase police work by assisting with
logistics and give them the nod to shoot to kill, and bring about
tangible and sustainable development to Enga.
It is useless to say things like Enga is giving full backing to
Peter Ipatas, Peter Ipatas is Enga’s hero, Peter Ipatas is Enga’s
action governor and the other names you give your governor just to
impress him and to fill your mouth with the free cash handouts
floating around.
The only thing the current Enga government, under the governorship
of Peter Ipatas, has benefited the vast and silent majority is the
Enga Children’s School Fee Subsidy Scheme. This is a job well
done.
However, until and unless Enga has good roads and the vast and
silent majority is living without fear, I am sure that Enga will
give you the full backing you need to go for the top job which you
are dreaming of and have publicly declared in Enga to go for.
