Eviction case

Letters

I READ with interest your Editorial on Wednesday (July 3).
My family was a victim of such forceful evictions you described.
We are still waiting for justice to be done.
My late husband was a public servant and a legal tenant to a property at section 36 allotment 30 in Eriku, Lae, Morobe, since 1983.
In 1988, the property was gazetted under my late husband’s name in the government sell-off scheme after he applied since he was the legal tenant and had his application approved.
He then received a letter of offer and letter of confirmation and made payments through salary deductions since 1989.
He completed the payment in 1999 and while waiting for the transfer of title from NHC, another person somehow obviously through correspondence with an officer at NHC obtained an unsigned copy of the title deed.
He then used that copy to evict me from my home.
I have all the legal documents that prove my ownership to the said property.
If you really want to fight corruption and bring justice to the little people of Papua New Guinea, I suggest we start publishing names of people like Richard Wapua and Gari Toea.
I would like to see the National Fraud Squad investigate these sort of people and give justice to the common hardworking Papua New Guineans.
My family and I were evicted from our home in 2017 and are still living on the streets to this day.
Hopefully, Justin Tkatchenko would read this and help me out as I am an unemployed Morobeen widow who has lost everything.
