Security issues

Letters

EVERYONE witnessed the 20 or 30 buses of security officials drive out of Goroka on Friday.
However, these busloads of officers did not stop block voting and violence and intimidation.
What do we expect when we have almost 1 million with less than 50 policemen in control?
Tension is building up and we have seen chaos in Goroka town and it is likely to continue as tension builds up towards July 28.
Anything can happen.
Imagine all Highlands and Mamose provinces, Southern and National Capital District are counting at the same time.
Where will the security forces be located?
Some parts of Southern, Mamose and Chimbu and Western Highlands have not voted yet.
We have security forces that could be caught off guard.
My concern is the safety of the polling officials and also the people of Goroka when counting is delayed while the rush to July 28 looms and security personnel are stretched out.
