National Capital District Commission (NCDC) is continuing to ensure that the road and drainage systems in the Port Moresby city are maintained to high standards and quality.
NCDC has engaged contractor Niugini Engineering and Procurement Services Limited (NEPS) to fix the much publicized Hohola tunnel road as part of their ongoing commitment to maintaining roads and drainages.
The wet season has wreaked havoc on the roads when the floods overwhelmed the drainage system, affecting local traffic. National Capital District (NCD) Governor Powes Parkop said that the municipal government has been held accountable for their mistakes and failures on their part address this issue.
“We thank our city residents for holding us to account.It is all our responsibility together to ensure a clean and healthy city.”
He also reminded the city residents that the storm water drains were not places to dumb rubbish in because the drainage system is usually blocked during heavy rains due to rubbish being dumped in them by the residents.
