Police Commissioner David Manning commended the residents of Port Moresby for their peaceful demeanour and adherence to democratic processes during this week's Parliament session. He noted that the behaviour of supporters reflects the leadership displayed by members. Manning said the city has seen unrest in the past during similar situations like vote of no confidence attempts or elections, however, he is pleased to report no significant incidents now. He said police anticipate this tranquillity to persist. He has urged potential troublemakers to refrain from disrupting order, emphasizing the importance of leaders ensuring their supporters uphold the law. He underscored that leaders must leverage their respect to uphold democracy and community well-being, while giving assurance of ongoing police operations to address any potential tensions, focusing on maintaining security in the National Capital District and other areas as needed. “It is essential that leaders continue to ensure their supporters respect law and order and that they also intervene if any followers seek to break the law.” “Our leaders carry the respect of those that get behind them, and now is the time to ensure they draw on that respect for the good of all citizens.” “This is about doing the right thing for the country and your communities, do not undermine the reputation of our democracy."
