Moving into city

Letters

HOW can we discourage or stop people drifting into Port Moresby by enforcing the ban on betel nut and street vending activities?
If we are to portray our capital city’s image to the outside world as safe, enforcing agencies must be 100 per cent behind implementing the buai ban and stop street vending.
Our premier city is being bombarded with an influx of unskilled, old, handicapped, etc, who then add to the sprouting of shanty homes and overcrowding.
Drifters, who are unable to find a place to do buai sales or vending activities, become an eyesore as they hang around streets, bus-stops, markets and shop-
fronts preying on vulnerable people.
If the betel ban and other vending activity laws are not that effective, then Port Moresby will be infested with thugs, beggars, street kids and so forth.
The drifting trend will slow down if appropriate laws are made and imposed for the good of the city.
