The Kerevat Correctional Services (CS) facility, Kokopo police station and three schools in East New Britain (ENB) province now have trucks to assist them in their everyday business. The trucks were given to them by the Office of the Governor and presented to the five entities during the recent ENB Day celebrations at that was held in Kokopo. Ten boats were also presented to ten micro-business groups and to Nakukur Ward to assist them in their business operations in their respective areas. The schools that received the trucks were Kalamanagunan Primary, Palmalmal Secondary and Raval Vocational in the Gazelle district. According to the Governor’s office, the items funding was from the Governor discretional funding and the Provincial Service Improvement Program (PSIP) funding costing more than K2 million. ENB Governor, Michael Marum said trucks are here to assist the students and prisoners transportation because many times students come late to school and inmates transported in very old vehicles. Marum added that as for the police, this will be the tenth time vehicles are presented to them and has urged them to look after them properly. “These vehicles are purchased by the people of the province; it’s the people’s money and so it needs to be properly used and well-looked after.” “Apart from boats and vehicles, many other assistances have already gone out to the communities, youths, churches and women groups such as ovens, wheel barrows, sewing machines, grass cutters and coppers”. Meanwhile, Raval Vocational School Manager, William Tovue thanked the Governor, the Education Advisor and other leaders who made this possible and are thankful for the gesture. He said this is the first of its kind for a Governor to assist them as they have also been in dire need for a vehicle and this is timely.
