Central Sepik also qualifies as a province

I WRITE to support on a public statement made by the Prime Minister Peter O’Neill recently to give Sepik its third province, Central Sepik. 
If both Hela and Jiwaka  were create­d to be separate provinces, why not give Sepik hinterlands the same as they are deprived of equal rights and service delivery?
The creation of a Central Sepik province will thus provide equal opportunities to the people.
However, before the separation, a proper and thorough research must be carried out.
On the same token, are there any plans to review the electoral boun­daries of the Gulf and Central provinces with regard to Kairuku-Hiri and Kerema? 
It has been a total blinder to these two electorates that covers a massive land mass connecting neighbouring provinces. 
The problems associated with this  land mass are similar to those in Eastern Highlands and Chimbu provinces.
Yet in comparison, these two provinces have a total of 16 elected members.
My concern is what has our
elected leaders done to address this issue for boun­daries concerning the Kairuku-Hiri and Kerema electorates over the years?
It is a long standing issue that we hear very little of.
This must be a priority agenda for incoming members.
If Jiwaka and Hela can be de­clared as provinces of their own, why can we not separate the electorates of Kairuku-Hiri and Kerema for equal representation in parliament?
We need to seriously address this issue to allow fairness for the people of Central and Gulf.
I challenge the incoming members for Kerema and Kairuku-Hiri to make this matter a priority agenda in the first sitting of the eighth parliament. 
It is  time our cries for equal representation be heard  and acted upon before the 2017 elections.
We have been ignored for too long.
