A total of nine vehicles costing more than K1.6 million were presented-three to police, one to magisterial services, two to Correctional Services, one each to wards two and four of Lae Urban local level government and one to the LCA’s hand-up programme.
The vehicles were funded under the district improvement programme funds according to Lae DDA chief executive officer Robin Calistus.
