The National, Thursday February 20th, 2014

 IN Monday’s paper in the business column, there was a picture of the road from Nuku to Lumi, referred to as the Sepik Highway. 

The   road  looks  like  a   pig track. 

I  have not been there, but  my village  is  in Seim of Nuku. 

Since independence, our elected MPs have not done anything to fix the highway. 

I would like to see the current  MP  from Nuku and Lumi working together and securing funding to upgrade  this national highway with the help of the national government. 

I have travelled around the country and noticed that most roads have been developed to a standard where at least a taxi or van can go. 

The people of Nuku and Lumi depend heavily on commodities like cocoa and vanilla, and   if roads are upgraded to a good condition, it will greatly benefit the village people to  get  their  produce  to markets.
