Member for Hiri-Koiari Keith Iduhu has expressed profound sorrow and outrage over the recent brutal murder of 23-year-old Margaret Gamaru Gabriel in Port Moresby. He extended his deepest condolences to her family and loved ones during this tragic time. "Our hearts are heavy with grief for her family. Such heinous acts of violence have no place in our society. I demand that all perpetrators involved in this atrocity be swiftly apprehended and brought to justice." Mr Iduhu urged the public to assist law enforcement agencies by providing any information that could lead to the arrest of those responsible. "Our communities cannot continue to live in fear." "I urge all citizens to cooperate with law enforcement officers and provide any information that will help bring these criminals to justice." "Law and order must be restored, and this needs resourcing of the Police and the support of the public." Mr Iduhu also appealed to Central Governor Rufina Peter to allocate resources to repatriate vagrants from Goilala and other parts of Central Province back to their home villages. "The rapid increase of informal settlements and displaced populations in urban areas has placed a heavy burden on public services and contributed to social unrest." "It is time we take responsible measures to support people in returning to their traditional homes where they can contribute productively to their local communities." He also made a direct appeal to the people of Hiri-Koiari not to receive any of those displaced but instead report them to the Central Police for repatriation forthwith. "Anyone harboring fugitives shall be identified for eviction." "This is a direct call to Hiri-Koiari area residents living amongst and at the kindness of the indigenous Doura, Koiari, Motuans, and Koitabu people." Additionally, Mr Iduhu called on Prime Minister James Marape and the National Executive Council (NEC) to immediately halt the CONNECT PNG program and instead prioritize a nationwide repatriation initiative. "The government must urgently shift its focus towards repatriating people to their home provinces." "The uncontrolled movement of populations into urban areas without proper planning has contributed to rising crime rates and weakened law enforcement efforts." "A national repatriation program will ease pressure on our cities and help our police force restore law and order." With regards to settlements in general, Mr Iduhu stated they should be outright illegal, and Governor Powes Parkop and his city hall must take immediate action on this issue. "All Open Members must assist vagrants living in the city to be repatriated." "We must address this issue decisively before it continues to undermine law and order in Port Moresby and beyond." Mr Iduhu further called for an immediate halt to the selling and informal leasing of customary land, particularly to those establishing illegal settlements. "The unchecked sale and leasing of customary land by local landowners must stop immediately." "This trend is fueling the rise of illegal squatting, which in turn creates lawlessness and instability." "Once this practice stops, illegal squatting will be deterred, and the spread of settlements will be curbed." Mr Iduhu reaffirmed his commitment to working with all levels of government to implement long-term solutions that would improve governance, security, and economic opportunities for all Papua New Guineans. "Our nation cannot move forward without social stability." "We must act now to restore law and order, uphold the rights of legitimate landowners, and return displaced populations to their home provinces where they can rebuild their lives."
