Private sectors, church groups, NGO groups must work together as partners with the government (i.e., West New Britain provincial government) and administration to control law and order issues in the province.
This is the call from a youth leader in Kimbe town, Mr. Moses Bera who told PNG HAUSBUNG that it is very important for these sectors to work alongside the Provincial Government and all respective LLGs to raise more awareness concerning violence and promote peace in WNB.
Mr. Bera stated this during a youth march around town to promote fighting against law-and-order issues in the province.
Meanwhile, Kimbe Police are now on another alert following another fight between the people of Morokea village and Kaibo settlement (located just opposite of Kimbe town), leaving one permanent house destroyed.
It was understood that there were some youths from Morokea village who stole a mobile phone from a lady at Kaibo which sparked this conflict, thus leading to the fight.
WNB Provincial Police Commander Supt. Peter Baki stated his disappointment with community leaders for not handling this situation.
PPC Baki came very hard on both parties and stated that police will not tolerate anymore of such nonsense arising from small matters.
He added that police will now be on high alert to see that people from Morokea village will not cross to the road on the other side of Kimbe town to go over to Kaibo settlement and cause any fights.
