Defer fence policy, city not safe yet

NATIONAL Capital District Governor Powes Parkop and his management should not to rush with the enforcement of the anti-colour bond fence policy.
There are factors associated with the inflationary cost of security to the goods and services in the nation’s capital as a consequence of influx of vagrants settling on public, private and customary land.
Businesses and individuals who pay taxes are continuously affected by law and order issues and security risks by vagrants and criminals.
It is as if we are letting pigs into our gardens to destroy everything .
I suggest that there should be a long-term target set for 2030 for the removal of colour bond fencing in the city.
This will allow time to displace all illegal settlements within the city periphery and make Port Moresby a safer place.
It should not be a lopsided action when businesses and homeowners are already victimised twice as taxpayers with reduced profitability on loses through thefts and costs of security.
