Law,order issues dictate development: Chairman

LAW and order dictates what development and change can occur in an area, Porgera Development Authority chairman Thomson Kulara says.
Kulara said crime and security issues affected busines and services and if people were to benefit, maintaining law and order had to be a priority.
The authority donated two vehicles to help maintain peace in Porgera, Enga.
He said a vehicle was given to Porgera police and another was allocated to the district’s law and order team.
Kulara said there was a need to address issues affecting peace and order in the community as lives and properties in Porgera were at risk.
“Many lives are lost and properties destroyed because of tribal fighting and issues affecting the communities,” he said.
“This is why we all need to stand together and address law and order issues affecting us.”
Kulara said law and order had to be a community concern and not just for those directly affected.
He said changes and development could only occur in a safe, stable and peaceful environment.
Kulara said most communities were affected because there was no peace.
“We must work together and help in combating issues affecting us.”
