Police from both NCD and Central should be reprimanded following damage caused to property outside the Manasupe Haus in frustration over the issues of pay that they raised this morning. Over a hundred policemen and women took to the streets to vent their frustration after waking up to sudden deductions in their pay. Over 50 vehicles comprising of Police, PNGDF and Correctional Service Personnel attempted to storm the Manasupe Haus in order to find the Prime Minister and demand reasons as to why they had seen significant deductions in their pay. The Guard house situated in the entrance of the Manasupe Haus was burnt out of frustration after certain police officers, broke down the gates. This is the second time the Papua New Guinea Armed Forces have wilfully damaged public property in frustration of pay, to be exact taxation of their own pay. Meanwhile, Police Commissioner, David Manning, has expressed his annoyance that a technical problem in the Alesco payroll system caused police pays to be reduced this week. Commissioner Manning said a technical error caused pay deductions that will now be paid to police members. Manning said “The situation today where members received reduced pay is not good enough and we are sorting it out.” “I have been advised by the IRC that the deduction was caused by the Alesco payroll system and is being resolved by the Department of Finance.”
