The Koki community in the Moresby South electorate of Port Moresby city, now has a new police station to help them clamp down crime in the area that is notorious for ethnic clashes and riots. National Capital District (NCD) Metropolitan Superintendent, Silva Sika said that the opening of the new police station can now deal with law and order in the community. “You do not need to go to the town police station or the Badili police station to place reports on crimes in the area.” “You now have a police station at your doorstep.” Sika said that Port Moresby is the face of the country and right now, Koki and Badili are the worst with law and order issues and he is looking for ways on how to address this issue. Met. Supt. Sika said a lot of the youths just hang around at the bus stop and snatch bags and this has to stop. This is the picture that is painted for Koki. “Parents and guardians need to be responsible and take care of children and youths in their care. People need to change their mindsets; enough is enough.” “The number of deaths in Koki has increased a lot in the last few months and this is not good.” He said that with the new police station, he will be beefing up police presence in the area. He also wants the youths to get behind the effort and do something positive, so Koki can be a safe community once again. The new police station will have 6 officers per shift rotation and the cell can hold up to 20 people. It also has a proper changing room for the police officers to use when coming on for their shift. The police station will be under the command of Sergeant Vitus Karakuan. Meanwhile, during the opening, the Moresby South MP, Justin Tkatchenko presented a Laptop to the station commander for him to do his work and for keeping updated reports for Moresby south. Tkatchenko said that he was really happy with the station building and he hopes that this new facility will encourage the community to work together with the police to maintain peace in the community. He thanked the NCD Met. Supt. and the Internal Security Minister for their continuous support and hopes that they can continue to work together for a safe Koki.
