Weekly reports of murder alarming

NOT a week goes by without reports of people from Madang and Hela committing heinous crime.
Madang was once the jewel of the Pacific and was called Beautiful Madang, because of the beauty in its tranquillity, peace, civility and respect to the rule of law.
Tourism flourished and was the crown jewel of the country’s tourism industry giving rise to spin-off businesses and other good things on the foundation laid by the founders of contemporary Madang in Bato Bultin, Max Moeder, Andrew Ariako, Sir Peter Barter, Peter Yama to name a few.
Madang is coming to the crime spotlight with a new kind of premeditated murder, more so predatory killings, relating to satanic and cultist practices that is taking a grip in the area.
In the absence of the rule of law coupled with weak leadership at the district, the blood thirsty ritual has found itself a conducive haven and will continue unabated.
A story was reported on social media (Facebook) of Kenimai Kori, a 16-year-old boy, on his way to Yal village was dragged out from a PMV and killed.
As reported, the murderers couldn’t release the remains of the victim.
Kenimai’s late father, Kawas Kori, was killed at the same place last year.
These places are in the Transgogol area in Madang, the electorate of the Police Minister and MP Bryan Kramer.
While in Hela and other parts of the country reigns a terror of senseless killing.
The calculated blood bath is brought upon by a peculiar ethnic group who has no moral compass and lack empathy when it comes to business.
One might liken this group to the character Jericho Stewart played by Kevin Costner in the movie Criminal.
Like suffering from frontal lobe syndrome, they have no impose to control, no sense of proportion and unable to calculate the negative consequences of their actions.
They can murder someone for a K100 or butcher 26 mothers and children returning from church because their tribe allegedly harboured some escaping enemy warriors.
They don’t understand social order or how people are suppose to behave.
These people will be hard to disciple. You cannot punish someone who doesn’t know what he or he/she has done wrong.
Prime Minister James Marape said to control the law and order situation when he took office.
But since then nothing has changed.
The situation still prevails and not even a single arrest was made regarding the massacre in Hela.
“I will come for you” the PM said, the moment the Hela story hit the news.
Unfortunately his police minister couldn’t put these words into action.
The PM’s words proved nothing and in turn allowing crime to egg its way more vicious.
If the PM cannot address law and order in his own backyard then how can he address the country’s?
It is the complacency of the police minister in not putting his foot down that the Government is copping the blame.
Before Marape further loses standing over the fight on law and order issues, he should sack the police minister.
The sacking of Kramer will not shake the Government – a government he never had hand in forming.
