Make new electorate for Abelam people

Letters

THE people of Maprik and East and West Yangoru need a new electorate, especially the Abelam people.
We want the electorate to start from Marinjeng (Warabung 1) and all the way to Witupu and the surrounding Abelam villages that speak Abelam language.
The electorate will start from Mafikeng then to Hayfield if MP John Simon allows, otherwise, it will stop from Kombikum and to Kuimbu and further down to Yaujange and all the way connecting Koro villages and then to Marinjeng (Warabung 1).
These areas should have an electorate because they speak the same language and the dialect of the Abelam language.
With two or different languages in an electorate, development would be much easier.
