Control people’s movement

Letters

I ASK Prime Minister James Marape, Police Minister William Onglo, Police Commissioner David Manning, Defence Minister Solan Mirisim, shipping companies, security firms and Justice Minister Bryan Kramer to consider this matter seriously.
We are sick and tired of seeing brutality and animalistic behaviour of provincial ethnic groups fighting each other and instilling fear in our women and children.
Papua New Guineans are becoming victims to this alarming issue of butchering human beings with bush knives.
Although we call our nation a Christian country, such behaviours are animalistic and contradict Christian morals and principles that we claim to stand for.
How can this nation become a “Black Christian Country” when we continuously act so irrational and barbaric?
I am confused.
When will an effective law be in place to protect the lives of innocent victims from these culprits?
Nothing profound has ever been done.
Innocent victims are continuously slaughtered by hungry ethnic packs of undisciplined human beings.
This is not new in our country.
Nothing has been done to defend these victims.
Law and order seem to be so fragile.
Justice is crippled and biased.
Most offenders are not paying the penalties.
Certain government departments are becoming catalysts for human brutality and property destructions.
I’m appealing to the mentioned parties to create inter-provincial migration laws to control the flow of unnecessary opportunists seeking nothing essential in the urban centres rather than pleasure and enjoying city lights.
They are the very people instigating social chaos.
Most of them can’t communicate in Tok Pisin and whenever there is a misunderstanding, conflict storms as a tornado, affecting innocent lives.
Innocent people are affected by tribalism in urban centres.
It promotes stupidity within the civil zones and demoralises the country’s integrity for socioeconomic growth and development.
There should be a new bill tabled for inter-provincial passes and permits to allow all citizens, whether literate or illiterate, to travel to urban centres with a genuine reason.
Provincial authorities, airports and harbours should work closely with the inter-provincial migrations office to enforce this policy.
Suppose a person is with no pass or permit confirming their reasons for travel, they should return home.
Every main streams of transportation from land, air and sea should be monitored.
The country’s national security forces and those working along the frontiers should collaborate to achieve that.
All PMVs should be checked thoroughly.
Passengers should obtain a pass from the legal office.
The inter-provincial migration office should set penalties for those who defy the orders.
This legal documents will act as inter-passport.
This would reduce urban drift.
I appeal to the heads of departments mentioned to consider it to benefit of our innocent victims.

Silas Brownford,

  • Very valid points discussed here. Hope that mentioned ministers and her departmental heads have to do something. Rather than sitting idle and pretending that everything were ok..

  • Very valid point. However, it should be only concentration on our two major cities (Port Moresby and Lae). Inter Provincial towns , it would be too much for the authority and the traveling passengers.
