Police need support, says Ipatas

ENGA Governor Sir Peter Ipatas says police support from outside is needed to boost the country’s security measures for a free and fair election next year.
Speaking during grievance debate in Parliament on Friday, Sir Peter said law and order was still a big issue of concern in the country which the Government should acknowledge and ask Australia and New Zealand for support.
“This is especially so in the period leading up to the elections starting in January to identify potential election corrupt activities,” he said.
“The people have the right to vote and elect leaders of their choice into Parliament but over the years, many of the elections have not been running well but consecutive governments have failed to address the issue.
“Let these people (Australia and New Zealand police) come in.”
