The Fraud and Anti-Corruption section of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary (RPNGC) in Kokopo East New Britain have been equipped with new desktops and laptops to do their work.
The assistance came from the East New Britain provincial administration under the law and order sector. The items were presented to the OIC Fraud Senior Constable Brian Kundi and witnessed by the Acting Divisional Commander chief inspector Gordon Magun, Provincial police commander chief inspector Januarius Vosivai and other police officers in the headquarter.
Presenting the items on behalf of the provincial government deputy administrator Social Services Marakan Uvano said that the officers in Fraud office need laptops and desktops to do their work and it is timely it is the beginning of a new year and with the assistance it will greatly help the officers.
He said there are other sections under the police that also need similar assistance however with the partnership of police and the ENBPA more help will come not only with vehicle but with such items in their officers.
“There are so many aspects of police apart from police operation if we assist officers in identifying other areas of weakness we can minimise the law and order issues in the province not only here but also in the court system,” said Mr. Uvano.
He encouraged the four districts in the province to also work closely with police establishments in each district in this way we help each other in curbing law and order issues.
The deputy PA urged that police and the ENBPA plus other stakeholders need to strengthen the partnership and move forward as there are many other issues that are challenging us and will keep challenging us.
