Leader of the Opposition, Douglas Tomuriesa, has urged Police Commissioner David Manning to reassess the effectiveness of interventions in Enga Province, particularly after a recent bus attack that killed multiple people. Tomuriesa pointed out that the three K3 million armoured vehicles purchased for the 2022 elections remain unused in Mt Hagen. He condemned the ongoing lawlessness, calling the incident “sickening and devastating.” “Payback killings, tribal disputes, and sporadic attacks have unfortunately become the norm in Enga,” he said, criticizing Prime Minister James Marape’s silence. Tomuriesa expressed frustration that lawlessness persists a year after supposed government interventions. “The reality does not match the rhetoric,” he said, accusing Marape of handling the situation without seriousness. He also criticized Marape’s priorities, saying, “When it comes to negotiations for Porgera, he's more than happy to fly around the world... but when it comes to women and children being killed, he doesn't seem to care one bit.”
