Thanks for K100 million

Letters

WE thank the Australian government and taxpayers for donating K100 million specifically for the purpose of renovating the police accommodation barracks in selected provinces in the country.
These provinces are; NCD, East New Britain, West New Britain, New Ireland, Milne Bay, Western Highlands, Hela, Enga, Madang and Morobe.
The K100 million is a lot of money given by the taxpayers of Australia at this time when we really need help in renovating the police barracks throughout the country.
As most barracks have been rundown over the years, it will require substantial effort and time to being the status of the barracks to its former good stages.
This means credible contractors with integrity and reputation would achieve this optimum value in work outcome.
The Australian Taxpayers and the government of Australia would be very proud and satisfied that their contribution for our police men and women’s living quarters have been improved.
Upon successful completion of this renovation and maintenance programme, the moral standards of men and women in uniform would be boosted for better performance.
Alternatively, the Australian government through department of foreign affairs (DFAT) and other agencies resident in the country can manage the funds in selecting bidders and procurement processes to award contracts to qualified and merit – based construction companies open to both national and international bidders.
This would ensure that actual much needed renovation can be done for a satisfactory outcome.
