Member of Parliament for Nawaeb and Special Parliamentary Chairman for Ease of Doing Business in PNG Theo Pelgen, along with other community leaders, is calling on all communities to take ownership of their cities and neighborhoods in the wake of recent acts of destruction. This appeal follows the devastating events in Port Moresby yesterday and ongoing attempts in Lae and other parts of the country. Pelgen emphasizes that decisions regarding the aftermath of these incidents and the necessary strategic actions rest within the ranks of the government. He urges leaders to address these issues on the parliamentary floor, where the appropriate discussions and decisions can take place. The Nawaeb MP stresses the importance of respecting companies that contribute significantly to the local economy by providing employment, generating revenue, paying taxes, offering markets, and supporting various community obligations. Despite the financial burdens these companies may face, especially through taxes, their commitment to operating in Papua New Guinea deserves acknowledgment and respect. Expressing deep concern, Hon. Pelgen highlights that the actions of a few individuals will have severe repercussions on families, mothers, children, and the sick who rely on vital support from the affected companies. He emphasizes the need to protect and preserve these valuable resources that are crucial for the well-being of the community. Acknowledging the efforts of the police, defense forces, wardens, and security personnel who risk their lives to maintain normalcy and order, Hon. Pelgen expresses gratitude for their unwavering commitment during challenging times. Addressing the people of Nawaeb, Morobe, and the entire nation, Hon. Theo Pelgen calls for a collective focus on moving forward. Despite the recent challenges, he urges citizens not to let the actions of a minority group define the fate of the entire country. Emphasizing the importance of mutual respect, security, and compassion, he encourages everyone to unite, support one another, and exhibit love and care for the greater good. In a final note of pride, the MP commends the people of Nawaeb and Morobe for taking a stand to maintain stability in the pursuit of peace and good order. He declares the citizens as heroes for their resilience and commitment to preserving the sanctity of life, echoing the sentiment that "LIFE IS IRREPLACEABLE."
