Highway plan terrible idea

THE Trans-National Highway currently under construction from Southern Highlands to Gulf and finally linking Central must be stopped immediately.
This highway will be the greatest blunder the Government has made and prove to be disastrous for the nation’s capital, Central and Gulf.
Hordes of immigrants will migrate into the big city in their thousands, with their village mentality and inherited tribal conflicts, causing anarchy and absolute destruction to the National Capital District, Central and Gulf.
Land grabbing will increase tenfold in NCD and spill into Central and Gulf.
The indigenous Motu-Koitabuans will be displaced within 25 years, if not sooner, because all their traditional land will be gobbled up by unscrupulous individuals.
They will be Papua New Guinea’s first internal refugees.
Self- centred MPs from Gulf
and Central, with bloated egos, seem oblivious to the catastrophic disaster descending upon their doorsteps under the guise of development and connecting the nation.
Political leaders from Central and Gulf must wake up from their extended slumber and fight for their people’s land and rights.
For too long they have been abused, used as puppets and taken for a joyride by outsiders.
This must end now.
The PNC-led government must take a plebiscite among the Gulf and Central people to establish if they want to be connected to the Highlands provinces via this road link.
The politically-drunk and egoistic politicians of the Central and Gulf provinces also need to take a bold stand.
They must make it clear that this highway will not and never benefit their people, but will only bring misery and internal displacement.
All political power, businesses and informal sectors will be taken over by settlers while Central and Gulf people will be mere spectators on their own soil.
Other government agencies will be affected like police, justice and lands departments, to name a few.
Wake up Central and Gulf before it is too late.
